Multimedia Development

In terms of technology tools that I am familiar with that we will be using in class, I am already familiar with Google Docs (used in my Level 6 PLC mentioned in my Introduction post), Image Editing software like Photoshop and GIMP and bookmarking! I find bookmarking to be such a handy tool when wanting to revisit certain sites or posts. I usually group them in bookmark folders so I can get to my bookmarks on Film, Photography and Design Principles (all actual bookmark folders I use). Google Chrome is great because I can sign in on any device and I have all my bookmarks available instantly. I am really looking forward to starting in Unity3D and honing my skills in it over the year. A screenshot of my bookmarks bar on Google Chrome

After reading about the assignments that we have to choose from over the coming weeks I am particularly intrigued by the Unity3D and our opportunity to work on our own Projects. I am also looking forward to the extra credit tasks like the Tech Tasks, HEART and Commenting on other peoples posts. Pug Puppy Dog - Source

Introduction A photo of me taken by James Reynolds My name is Christopher Carney, and I'm an aspiring Creative Digital Media student hailing from IT Blanchardstown (soon to be one of three campuses as part of the Technological University of Dublin). I have interests in everything digital media from graphic design to filmography and everything in between. I'm a 'jack of all trades, master of none' who is constantly looking to challenge and better themselves, yearning to learn and gain experience in anything I can try my hand at. Education After I completed my leaving certificate in 2015 I went on to study in Dunboyne College of Further Education for two years. In my first year I studied Sound Engineering & Music Production at FETAC Level 5 in 2015. This was a fun and active year long course in which I expanded on my previous knowledge of music production, and learned a lot about sound engineering. We organised a gig that year as part of our course in whi...

Thinking... - Source For our first workshop we worked on a traffic light situation. Using the Irish Rules of the Road we had a crossroads with four sets of traffic lights, with no turning lights and we had to accommodate for pedestrians crossing the road too  as there were no pedestrian crossing buttons . A screenshot of the task is pictured below.   Traffic Light Situation - Source Video Our task was to find out how the traffic lights worked to allow the cars to drive on or turn and for pedestrians to cross without any crashes or accidents happening.   Myself and my partner got to work brainstorming how this scenario worked. Our first thought was that the traffic lights were programmed to stop and start at certain times to allow one line of cars to go and some pedestrians to  cross.  Our  lecturer Shaun told the class to  think about  explaining it in more detail and possibly using a flowchart to explain the sequence that ...

My Favourite Game Battlefield 1 is currently my favourite game to play. I have been playing it since it's release in 2016 and although I take a break from it to put time into other games I always find I come back to it. Battlefield 1's campaign is short and fun, with a lot of insight into the history of WW1. The multiplayer feature is where I spend my time in the game though, playing in battles of 32 vs. 32 players on each team, spread across some of the largest battlefields of WW1. The game is beautifully made, with realistic graphics and animations and the playable maps in the game take direct influence from photos and stories of the real battlefields from the time.
