Final Project Process

 We were at a loss at first regarding the final project. We were still determining where to begin because, up until this point, we had instructions to follow and help guide us, but we were on our own for this one. To begin, we had to decide on a movie. We were between three options, but the one we chose fit the criteria better than the others. We were between ET, The Martian, and Arrival. 

We decided on Arrival because there was much more to unpack with this movie and more we could analyze after we determined the film; we had to figure out the direction we wanted to go with the project itself. So we drew up a diagram of what we wanted our poster board to model after. 

Then we met and started planning it all out. 

However, once we started putting all the pictures together, we felt something needed to be added to the poster. That is when we decided to paint two of the panels black to fit the project's aesthetic better.

 Still, we felt as if something was missing, so after we all stared at the project for probably 30 minutes, we decided to add more 3D elements, including the clouds and the wooden cage.

Love, Death & Robots: Zima Blue       I found the story very interesting, and I enjoyed how it was a full-circle plot. When I first watched it, I must admit that I was quite confused about the plot line, so I researched it further. So first, the name of the story comes from the tile color; the manufacturers named the tile "Zima Blue," which was the first thing the robot had ever seen and, for a long time, the only thing that it had ever known. The robot takes on the name Zima and becomes one of the most sought-after artists worldwide or even multiverse. However, they all believe that Zima is human; he had so many modifications done throughout the years that they believed he was human, taking on the form of a robot when it was actually quite the opposite. Zima originally had the goal to find the truth of all, to figure out why everything was created as it was, but on his journey, he realized that in order for him to do so, he would have to look at his life and his beginnin

Futuristic Fashion Show

I chose to make my "Futuristic Clothing Item" out of plastic bags to show that something as simple as a plastic bag can be turned into something as complex as clothing. We see and use plastic bags all of the time; when we go shopping, for garbage, for food, etc. However, it is always overlooked how these simple items can be so versatile if you just put in the time and effort.  I started by looking up inspiration for my dress; I knew I wanted to make it out of plastic, but I wasn't exactly sure what kind of pattern I wanted—then I took about 25-35 target plastic bags and cut them into thin strands. Then I knotted all those strands together and cut off the excess to try and make it look as clean as possible. Then I proceeded to weave this into a big rectangular shape and continued with this until it was big enough to be a dress. I left a good amount of excess bag to fit the dress onto myself. Then I cut up a Trader Joe's holiday bag to get the red straps that I used for
