Creating our Movie

Creating our movie for the Interstellar project was quite an interesting process. We brainstormed some ideas, and got together to film some clips for the video. Basically, our world was completely submerged in water as a result of a climate crisis, and the government withheld information from the public as to how serious it really was. Our mission as time travelers was to travel back to 2022 to release the information. We filmed some clips on campus of us "time traveling back" and some clips of us using a computer to release the information (very dramatically). It was fun for us to do this part. Then, I edited the clips together using iMovie and added a few articles we created about the after-effects of us releasing this info. I always enjoyed editing videos so this part was enjoyable for me. Overall, the whole project encouraged us to be super creative and make a whole storyline. It was a very unique experience which I really enjoyed.

Love Death + Robots Analysis

September 11, 2022 Love Death + Robots was a very interesting series of shorts that I thoroughly enjoyed viewing in class. After watching quite the range of futuristic robot content, my favorite short from Love Death + Robots was Automated Customer Service. This was my favorite because I found it hilarious and the most entertaining, but it still had an interesting underlying message. Set in the future, an elderly community has robots to do just about everything for them, from pedicures to walking their dogs. I found the opening scene to be humorous in the way that it depicted man's dependency on technology. Even the simplest tasks are done by robots in this foreshadowed society. As portrayed, humans are completely dependent on technology today. While the short uses exaggeration to show this, the hidden message behind it remains true. The short cuts to an elderly woman in her home with her vacuum robot. Suddenly, the robot turns evil and...

Final Thoughts: Hon 255

My final thoughts on this course: Overall, I really enjoyed this course and love how Professor Echeverry pushed each student out of their comfort zones. A room full of majors like biology, psychology, marine science, political science, etc. and our professor had us putting on fashion shows. I also liked how we were assigned many group projects. This allowed us all to collaborate and bring each other's creative sides out. My favorite assignment was the Interstellar project. That was my favorite movie we watched by far, and creating that video was a lot of fun too. I liked using this class as an escape from the more boring and exhausting science courses I am used to. I loved having Professor Echeverry as a teacher: he always kept things real and interesting and opened my eyes to a lot of things I would have never even thought about before. His assignments were always different and creative, and in turn required us to be different and creative as students. Thank you for takin...

Day 1

August 29, 2022 Hi!! My name is Sophia Demitrio and I am a sophomore this year. I am from New Jersey and am a biology major. My first impression of this class made me very excited for the semester. Since I have taken strictly science classes in college so far, I look forward to this class that will allow me to explore a more creative approach of learning. I expect to treat this class as a release from my other courses and to genuinely enjoy what Professor Echeverry has to offer.
