Nintendo History
After reading this article on the history Nintendo, I was very surprised. First off, I had no idea that nintendo started as playing cards. I was so focused on what Nintendo has been like throughout my childhood, that I did not know the history behind it. Also, I didn't know that nintendo in Japanese meant "leave luck to heaven." Im assuming that kind of means that to win their games isn't lucky, it is mostly skill, which is a great meaning for you company
In 1975, Nintendo released its first video game, which was called EVR Race. The second video game was named Donkey Kong. That name I definitely know, because of who Donkey Kong is now. After this, in 1983, Nintendo released their first console, which was called Famicom, another fact I did not know.
Soon after, Famicom crashed, and Nintendo came out with a console named Nintendo Entertainment System. This system was basically the same as Famicom, but just fixed the problems with Famicom. Nintendo then released many other consoles, their latest one being the Nintendo Wii, which is a great console. When that first came out, I bought it and it was the coolest thing ever to me. The characters on the Wii and all the games had amazing graphics which was great art, and the technology perspective of it was something truly awesome.

21st Century Technology
Television is a great technology invention. It is being used all around the world today, and it is only getting better. However, television wouldn't be where it is today without the help of its history. There have been many other versions of a television, dating back to 1928.
The first version of a television was called the Octagon. It was made by General Electric in 1928 and it was powered by a mechanical rotating disc to show the images, which were displayed on a 3 inch screen. Thinking of this, I just appreciate the technology we have today so much more. As television sets kept evolving, more and more sets were being made. In 1946, only 6,000 sets were made, but by 1951, 12 million television sets were made in the United States. This number is an unbelievable difference.
Television will only keep getting better. The influence that past television sets have made on the television sets now was huge, and that influence will keep going. I don't know what the future holds for television, but it will be more and more impressive as time goes on. Television sets will keep getting a better and better image, and probably even thinner if you can believe that.

Opera Video Game
This is one part of my opera video game that I made based off of Bartok's Bluebeard Castle. This project was very fun and i enjoyed getting creative with it. Some of the stages in the video game were hard to come up with but some were easy so it evened out. I think that this opera was a great fit for this project because of the seven different doors in the opera. So.... Here is a part of the video game
"The first stage is a huge maze with flames of fire that pop up when going the wrong way. While traveling through the maze, there are several buttons to press to open doors. If you press the wrong button, a huge flame of fire will come up and then you have to move on to the next button when found. Once you get through the maze, there are two doors to pick from and each door has a weapon to use throughout the seven stages. Door 1 has a sword, and Door 2 has a handgun..."

My performance art video is of me hitting golf balls with world problems taped on to them. I thought this would be interesting because it has to do with society and things that people deal with. It was fun making the video, however hitting the golf balls into the back of the softball fence might have been a bad idea since the Softball coach started to scream at me.

I made my flip book using a stick figure that plays basketball. Basketball is my favorite sport and I figured if i had him shoot it in the hoop then it would make it more fun for me to do this project. It took a while, but it was worth it to see the whole video at once. Press the full screen button to see it better.

This is the 3D Animation that we watched in class. It is called Sebastian's Voodoo by Joaquin Baldwin. I really enjoyed this animation because it was so powerful and suspenseful. What makes it amazing is that it is such a short film and it still was so suspenseful for me. The graphics in the animation are also very good and i like the way the characters were made.
