Final Project On Interviews From The NPR Network

I listened to 3 interviews from NPR For a final tach project. Their first interview was with a guy named Jim Dooley who created a wii game called "Epic Mickey." In this interview NPR ask Jim about how hard it was to put music in not just games but movies too. He also talkes about how he had to make his music flow throughout the game and he did so very well as they played some of the music throughout the interview with Jim Dooley.
The Second one was on Guy who created a website with people who where from all around on hotels around the world. Also inorder from to create this website he needed to get hotels from all over the world to make them create a website and they needed to be paid with money. Many of these hotels are in India where he is from.
The third Interview was with a women named Sara Allen who is one of the other 20% of women who is in computer programming. She is working on a project called Salmon gray, Where she will make products that I don't know of. Many programmers that are women don't get accepted but Sara allen was lucky to get accepted as a computer programmer. Her mom was the first women to sell the apple 2 and her brought one home and she learned by herself how to use and operate the computer.

Googles Doodles

OnGoogle

One interesting thing I have learned about google is the yahoo had a chance to buy google in 1998 and they turned it down. Another interesting fact about google can track what you search but they don't track you down or use this data for bad uses. Another interesting fact is that when they where going to release the google goggles they didn't because people thought it was really bad so they took it back and made it better. Google maps helps emergency crews to help finds abandoned buildings and other things. they have customized map. LA police was going to put their data in google cloud but they didn't because it could fall into the wrong hands.

How Art influences Tech And how Tech Influences Art

This is my reflection on how Art influences tech and tech influences art in the movie making in the Disney movies.

Art Influences Tech-
Art ask's technology to help out on some of their movies. artist thought that if they used technology to help create their animation character so scene they would get fired or released. In the short film Squash, stretch, zoom art needed technology's help by creating the scenes and the characters that where in the short film. later on in the late 80's or early 90's Pixar finally created their very first movie that was totally created by using technology. This movie that Pixar created was called toy story.

Tech Influences Art-
In the 1970's the artists finally took technology into consider and would later use technology to create all the film including the ones we see today. Technology later helped George Lucas create the movie Star Wars. Technology created these little tiny triangles to help create the movies we see today. The short film Tin Toy was the first Oscar award winning short film ever.
