Pac-Man Fever 2010 - Pac-Man Championship Edition (Xbox 360)

History of Video Game Characters: Pac-Man

Black Eyed Peas Experience - "Boom Boom Pow" - Routine - Xbox Kinect

This is an idea of what the games were like when we went on the xbox kinect. The dancing shows how when you move, so does the characters in the games.

I enjoyed watching other members of the class using the game to show how stop motion worked. I didnt go on the game because i was shy plus the others seemed very willing to let other people watch them on the game.

I liked how the xbox kinect would respond to there movements and if they were not following properly , the xbox would say if they weren't following.

Motion Capture in games

Last thursday we went into the studio and played on the xbox kinect and the xbox. We saw how motion capture was used. We watched others play and move around and how the game worked using motion capture to control the game


These are pictures of the xbox kinect and one of the consoles we used to play fifa.

The pac man images we did in the studio on tuesday

Bulb Mode How-To

This video shows people how to set there camera on to bulb mode/ setting so they can take similar pictures as to the ones we did in the studio on tuesday

light photos





On tuesday, we went into the studio and setting the canon 5d on bulb setting and putting it on a tripod, a few people stood in front of it , in complete darkness. The person taking the image would stand and hold the button, a red light turning on , for a certain period of time.

While they were doing this, the people in front of the camera would begin to draw shapes in the air with the torches that were covered with coloured paper or plastic. When the button on the camera was released, colourful shapes would appear on the camera.

This would create a light image.

I enjoyed this lesson and i would like to do  it again and it was something that i didn't know could be done before. I would like to do it at home during the late evening when it would be dark and create colourful images using different lights of colour.
