Ideas for Final Project

For my final project I am thinking of focusing my central idea around the modern problem of global warming. Global warming presents an incredibly drastic future for the world if people today do not change their actions. For my final project I have several ideas to convey the severity of this issue to my audience. I am thinking I could do something with stop-go animation creating a storyline and showing the effects of global warming using this effect. On a different note I could also write a parody dealing with global warming. I would write a somewhat funny script dealing with the issue of global warming and then at the end of the film, close with a depressing take on the future if we don't change. Additionally, I'm thinking about animating drawings I could create to create a storyline centralizing around this particular issue.

This class I learned how to contruct a contact microphone. Before this class I was not aware of what a compound microphone was exactly. A compound microphone is a microphone that picks up sounds upon contact with the mic. We made the microphones by stripping wires, bending them together, and then sodering a bond between them. I found this entire process interesting and I hope to record sounds with this newly developed mic.
