Yulie Cho

Yulie Cho is a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. She is majoring in Integrated Product Design, but loves animation.  She’s taking a Computer Animation course and for one of her projects was assigned to interview professionals in the business. She contacted us.

I always giggle to myself when people call me a professional, which is silly because hell yes, we’re pros — but it’s just that I so vividly remember being in college with an assignment to interview a professional in the business.  Like it was yesterday.  But that was almost 7 years ago so get over it, Noelle.  You’re a grown up.

Anyway, Yulie is the best.  This week she sent us some doodles she did; she made a comic of an incident that happened one day, just for fun.  I love it because her style is great and I think it’s wonderful to take a funny moment from life and draw it out.  I have been wanting to do this more lately and Yulie has inspired me.  Also, I TOTALLY RELATE to this story.  If you went to Pratt, I bet you can too.  Enjoy, kids!

UGGGghhhhhhhh gross!!!!

No matter how clean we kept our dorm, there were at least 5 incidences where we were up on our desks screaming like cartoon elephants over a tiny mouse or cockroach scurrying across the floor.  Good thing Yulie is tons more brave than I am, and she knows how to handle herself in this situation.

Thanks for sharing your work Yulie!

Musical Motion Magic

A few days ago Motionographer posted a video called Resonance with this demand: “Stop. Put on your headphones. Go fullscreen, and sit still as Resonance blasts your earballs to pieces.”  I obeyed.

Resonance is a collaborative project with over 30 independent visual and audio designers/studios. The aim was to explore the relationship between geometry and audio in unique ways.

My favorite visual artist + audio designer pair was Jr Canest and David Kamp.  Here is their contribution, which happens at 2:50 in the full 11 minute video:

I love it because it’s fun and it’s simple.  While I found the other contributions to be very impressive, this one made me stop and look again.  And then I smiled and watched again.

Here is the full Resonance video:
