TITLE: Into the Cave
MEDIA: Sound Design / Audio Composition
SOFTWARE: Adobe Audition
HARDWARE: iMac OS X, field recording devices
SPECIFICATIONS: Digital Audio, Stereo
CLASS: FMX 210 Digital Media
PROFESSOR: Chip Neville
SEMESTER / TERM: Fall 24
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION:
Into the Cave is an original sound design project that uses layered audio to evoke movement and atmosphere. The piece begins with natural ambient sounds, including birds, establishing an open outdoor space before transitioning into the enclosed atmosphere of a cave as footsteps guide the listener inward. Using Adobe Audition, I manipulated sound levels, reverb, and spatial depth to simulate the shift from an exterior to an interior environment. The project focuses on how sound alone can construct space, mood, and narrative, demonstrating my interest in immersive audio and environmental storytelling.

DESCRIPTION:
Space Hop Scotch is a digital composite image that blends multiple visual elements into a surreal outer-space environment. The project combines astronauts, planetary imagery, and a spacecraft to create a playful yet cinematic composition. Through layering, color grading, and scale manipulation, the work explores depth and visual storytelling in a constructed environment. This project reflects my interest in combining graphic design with cinematic imagery, using digital tools to build imaginative, otherworldly scenes.
TITLE: Colorized Film Still Study
MEDIA: Digital Image Manipulation
SOFTWARE: Adobe Photoshop
HARDWARE: iMac OS X

PROFESSOR: Chip Neville
SEMESTER / TERM: Fall 24
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa
DESCRIPTION:
This project involves digitally colorizing a black-and-white film still to explore how color affects tone, mood, and perception. By selectively applying color to key elements such as clothing, skin tones, and background, the image transforms from archival material into a reinterpreted visual experience. The project highlights how digital tools can reshape historical imagery, emphasizing the role of color in storytelling and audience engagement.
