Show & Tell

For every movie moment or troupe, there is a photo juxtaposed next to the actual cinema scene that is of my own work. Below the photo diptych, there is a video of the scenes from the movie to fully understand the words said and the context around the photos and the moments on screen. There is also a written explanation given of why the photo is important to me and why the pictures and grabs from the films match up so well in my mind and on paper. 

I have a personal fascination with the British royal family, and Diana is an enigma that passed through the family, and it is important that she is not forgotten.

This map takes the audience through the journey of my father moving from Italy to the U.S. and where he decided to plant roots, but not without remembering where he came from. Today, I take my culture and my roots and celebrate them, even though it might be very far away.

For my storymap project I document my travels across Taipai, Taiwan. I was blown away by the beauty of the landscape, the accessibility for tourists, and the amazing food! The best food I had was a 25 cent dumpling bun. One bite leads to an explosion of juice in handhold package. Interestingly enough Buzzfeed's Worth It covered the chain in 10 million hit video a few months later! The trip with flight, hotel, excessive food, and souvenirs totaled to sub $1000 for a 10-day stay. For anyone who wants an affordable Asian destination, Taiwan is the way to go! - Mingson Lau

I wanted to create a blog-like guide on how to properly organize, save, and backup multimedia files following the development of my personal digital organization. There are a multitude of storage devices, files systems, and cloud storage options for consumers, but it can get very confusing. It can be a hassle to bumble through all of that so I want to help people create more efficient workflows. -Mingson Lau

For my honors contract, I did a Medium article about how Hawai’i has handled the COVID-19 Pandemic. For multimedia elements, I took photos around the Hilton Hawaiian Resort Hotel in Honolulu, HI to show how tourism is around the area. In addition, I added a few tweets to give further context to the story, and created my own graph showing the 7 day averages for COVID-19 rates in the state. I hope you enjoy reading it! - Kiersten Moss

For my gif project, I used the same photo that I had used in sequence to give it a different perspective. - Johnson Mayamba

Are you planning to visit Africa for your next trip? Having Uganda as your gateway to the continent would be the best choice you could ever make to have your trip memorable. As my final project, here are some of the answers to questions relating to your trip to Uganda, also known as the Pearl of Africa. - Johnson Mayamba

I have brothers of blood, brothers of war and brothers of life. We laugh, we debate, we support. There is no weakness in these bonds. As we grow and migrate into our own lives, we alway remember there’s a den for us to come to when we need a break. No words will be spoken, no actions to be taken, whats understood doesn’t need to be said. Sleep, laugh, eat and go back into woods with comfort that the den will always be there and your brothers will always be there.

The topic for my Visual Story was “Up.” My first though was of the buildings in Downtown Phoenix. When I was thinking of the subject I noticed my eyes followed an imaginary line from the ground and up the buildings before looking at the sun. Since I wanted to develop a story, I thought it would be cool to introduce a character and follow their journey up. I photoshopped and sequeneced the photos to make it look like the eyes were climbing up. At the end I also wanted to include some shots of the up-ed sun looking down at another pair of eyes interested in making the journey up. I added some dream-generated images to lighten up the vibe and bring some color into the cloud covered sky. “Creative Minds” by Bensound was the perfect musical fit. - Mingson Lau

I have the foolhardy goal of not having concrete goals. Yes, there are some things I would like to do career-wise. I want to work for National Geographic and PBS, travel the world, and establish a livelihood based on my abilities and knowledge — without the dependency of a job. But, I want to have the freedom to explore to my heart's content and develop the ability to share what I find in a compelling way. -Mingson Lau
