Time is an important structure within our society and it is our job as humans to create either efficient or fun ways of measuring time. This is what my cohort in Light, Sound, and Time is trying to understand within this unit of the class. The 11th grade class at GCE has been studying various measurements in time, trigonometry, the fabric of space, and much more. We had also advanced our learning through going to the Adler Planetarium and having a special guest providing more information upon the subjects.
As a class, we had studied different ways to measure time and how to understand it. This all brought us to individually propose a device that measures time and each of us had to visualize certain aspects of the device. We also had to include scientific facts that spread either outside or inside the classroom in order for the device to seem more realistic. What I proposed was a clock that measured time through the melting of ice. However, rather than create a video, I decided to animate clips of my device as well as rotate it so any person could gain a better view.

The animation was supposed to be the bulk of what made the video interesting compared to other videos that my peers did. However, I realize that it would be unrealistic to create an animation that kept changing or is highly detailed. At the same time, I feel like I kept repeating the animations within the video over and over again without much of an idea of how it would feel. In total (including research and writing) the video took more than enough time to make even with the limited animation posted above. It is both what I am proud of, and what gave me disappointment.
