This is my flip book animation. 

These were my results for my own created camera obscura, originally being used by Abelardo Morell. I used my roommates empty room and just used black trash bags to block out the light.  Once I cut the hole in the wall I was surprised that although more subtle than I expected the images were projected on the walls. It was defiantly easier to see the images through the camera on my phone.  This is the view that was projected, outside my building, other buildings, cars, parking lot.   I really liked the end result I wish I could of kept it up to look at at other times of the day but I had to take it down. I would defiantly try it again though at other locations, it was so much simpler than I thought and really surprised me how technology works like that .

Netflix             The 21st century technology that I chose is Netflix. Netflix is a movie streaming site that is used by millions to stream their favorite movies, tv shows, and documentaries. It has gotten increasingly popular in the last couple of years with users from all types of demographics old or young. It was first launched in April 1998 where it started the use of mail order DVD subscriptions, DVD rentals that would be mailed to your house and when you were done watching the movie you would mail it back. I remember receiving these DVDs all the time when I was little, we used to order new movies we wanted to see and just send them back easy, it was simple yet a lot more effort than what we do now just to tune into a new movie or show. Netflix first started its online streaming in 2007, where you were able to log into your own account and see everything they have to offer in their library. This was a fairly new concep...

My thoughts exploring Angel's blog was that he really has a passion for theater and performances. He has many posts throughout the years delving deep in to many works. The first one I looked at was Mary Poppins. He discussed how the Return of Mary Poppins had a reputation to live up to and whether or not it would be as good as the original. He talks about how the first presentation you see Walt Disney presents, and how it really gives the feel of something beginning, adventures to come. He talks about how the general plot is a family in distress. I was surprised he swore on his blog too, but if it's your own blog you really are allowed to write anything you want. I have seen Mary Poppins performed in New York City a couple years ago and thought it was amazing. They did a really good job at capturing the story and doing their best to reenact it. Angel talks about the the spectacular effects of image and sound, and during the live show I can totally agree. I remember the musical ...

Taylor Oettel Roundtree FXM-211 February 13, 2019 The Magic Flute The opera “The Magic Flute” also known as “Die Zauberflöte” was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Emanuel Schikaneder also contributed greatly to the composition of this opera, writing many of the spoken words, while Mozart wrote most of the musical parts. It premiered in 1791 at the Theater auf der Wieden near of Vienna. This theater was a venue for many theatrical works but unfortunately only open for fourteen years from 1787 to 1801. Overall, “The Magic Flute” played 223 times in that theater, a huge success and a very popular opera to see even now. It was such a success that Schikaneder made a sequel called the Magic Flute Second Part. On the surface it is a fairytale with problems arising a prince saving a princess, but in the end everyone is happy and everything ends well. However, underneath the initial storyline there is a more complex message. The music throughout is written in every ...
