Marcus Capstone 2022

Posted by Marcus Diemer in Capstone · Atkins/Spry · Wed on

My capstone was to create 3 short stories revolving around different philosophical ideas. I spent time each week learning more about the different philosophical ideas that I wanted to base my stories around, as well as coming up with the actual story ideas, so that these ideas would be integral to the stories, but at the same time make entertaining stories. I had originally planned on making one big story, but I wanted to cover a few different ideas, so I switched to 3 stories instead of 1. This allowed me to cover more ground as well as bring a few different stories to life.

Throughout this process, I learned how to plan out a story effectively and manage my time between planning, writing, and editing. Planning is sometimes difficult to do because you want to start writing and making progress, but I found it is very helpful to know generally where the story is going to go. I also learned about many different philosophical ideas which are not only interesting, but can be applied to many important areas of life such as politics and even just day to day actions.

Foul or Fair? The Reunion of Saucy Boys is the reunion of four of the leading characters from Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth. They fight it out and talk about their shared past and the story of what happened all those years ago. This drama filled segment shows just how saucy a boy can be.

LATE NIGHT AT FIFE - Macbeth Talk Show

Posted by Miles Hall in English 1 · Giknis · Y Band on

By Miles Hall, Ben Fernandez-Sheinbaum, Samuel Abrams, and Vincent Allen.

This is a lighthearted talk show, focusing on Macduff investigating Macbeth’s transformation. I know that Malcolm becomes king, but Malcolm has less of a relationship with Macbeth, and so he was overwritten in favor of Macduff being King. Artistic license! The link to the script can be found here (in case the audio is bad):

Macbeth Interview

Posted by Nicholas Pompey in English 1 · Giknis · A Band on

This talk show was post Macbeth’s beheading, and all the characters (except Macduff) are in the afterlife. The characters tell the definition of the Macbeth they used to know, but as their deaths happened later and later in the story, the more it is made apparent that Macbeth has been changed as a character entirely.

Jordan Mallard capstone

In the briefest terms, my project consisted of mimicking an accessory to blockbuster films. Camera cars; are normal cars but with cameras strapped and wrapped to the top of them being able to flux on close to about 5 different axes. When I originally planned and mapped out this idea, I was under the impression that I’d be able to make what I wanted, with the vehicle of my choice; enter the Kamera Kart. The kamera kart was originally supposed to be a rudimentary product that could squeeze the fun out whether you were recording or just simply cruising for fun. I was under this impression until a hiccup in the process happened and required me to switch gears (quite literally and figuratively) and move over to a car.

after waiting for some time to hear back from my mentors I was finally able to get down to business. but that business needed to be done in a short amount of time, which put me in quite the pickle, but after coming to terms with that, I decided to just craft up a prototype of what my masterpiece could look like.

what you see before you is my initial attempt at creating a miniature scale camera car. a lot of tedious mental effort went into this project. what once was supposed to be a go-kart with a camera on it turned into almost a full-scale camera car

below is my first rendition and the process of me creating it.

Capstone - Stephanie Lorenzo

For my capstone, I decided to make a mini documentary and a research paper about baile folklorico. it’s something that means a lot to me. I’ve danced for about 7 years but had to stop because of covid. It’s something that connected me to my culture and heritage, and it’s also where I met a lot of friends.
