For my capstone I decided on doing something I found a rekindled love, I would say I have for. Which was stop motion. I decided to make my capstone about stop motion because it is something that has been in my life for a long time and I knew as soon as we were assigned this I wanted to do something for it to show my work throughout the past year. So in this project, I decided I would go for an informational video that discusses the overall history, and how to make a stop motion yourself that I feel would inspire others hoping to make their own.

Here is the doc where I started everything: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PUyX8_LOUJOPGp5XaKjfmHicusLNqtJzNhWl22JW55c/edit

Throughout the course of the year my capstone has fluctuated, morphing into what it is now. My goal was to create a piece of work that takes people out of the stereotypical roles society has placed on them. For my capstone I wrote some of a script and filmed a scene from it. From the scene I wrote earlier in the year to the form it took in the manifestation of it as a video are different in some ways but the idea came through. I hope to continue to create videos and films that allow people to see themselves in all spaces and refine my creative skills in the process.

For my capstone project, I’ve decided to transform an empty room into a room for my younger sister, Rylie, but how can I transform a small room into a bedroom? I wasn’t sure if I could do this project individually, so I enlisted the help of my mother and her boyfriend. We had so many ideas for the room, but due to the limited space, we were only able to implement a few of them. Working with others not only allowed me to acquire experience, but it also made me realize how much I enjoyed interior design. I’ve spent most of my time mood-boarding thoughts and trying to visualize what I want to put to fruition. I decided to add all of Rylie’s favorite items, such as books, creatures, and colors. I’ve discovered new material about interior design as well as new things that Rylie enjoys in the process of my capstone project.

For my capstone, I wanted to explore something that I was really passionate about while also still trying to have fun and be motivated throughout my project. I then realized that being in the CTE Digital Video program provided an excellent opportunity to create a mini-documentary on Hallyu culture and k-pop specifically. My senior capstone is titled “K-popping A Bubble” and it is a mini-documentary that provides the history and context behind Hallyu culture and K-pop specifically. This documentary is split into five distinct sections aside from the introduction and conclusion: What is K-pop?, The Uprising of K-pop, The Golden Era & Global Breakthrough and K-popping the Bubble. I wanted to create this documentary with the intent of educating people who may not have much knowledge in Hallyu culture and K-pop while also bringing attention to certain topics that people who do like k-pop may not be well versed in. Throughout the creation of this capstone, I learned a great wealth of information about k-pop that I myself have never heard of, giving me more fuel for the passion that is the flame of my obsession with K-pop. I was also able to fully assess my capacity as a student and was able to challenge my research, time management and communication skills. In the end, I am proud of a product that I am able to show to anyone, so I hope you check it out below!
