Campus biking route VS my school and home in china..

Plan :Riding around campus couple of times with some simple goal, from A to B, but I will choose routes that I want to. Could depend on my mood , or what ever. I will have some humor stuff during the tour around campus.


And a landscape recreate of campus
YY: 1. A few cool shot I put on my gear and joke about the school safety free zone and stuff.

2. Walk out the door with a strong light shoot at the camera. Transit to a bird view shot of the campus like in a video game map. Then the camera drops down very fast into eye level, (goes to the west side to the campus while I am riding my bike to the school.) Introducing building I know around the way.



3. Route.


have to go to New stadium, walk by the green house, jar dan.

Old stadium, carry my bike into it and get crazy around there for a sec.

Roiay tower

Aggiaville
student union
the stair way next to water hall.

rec center register table.

4. Use some quick cut to get through boring part.

Some set up interaction on the …..rolay tower, library main sidewalk.

Take some good photos aside the road, put them together, like a universal studio logo.


Got a KSU wildcat logo in a ball shape.

So, lets make this route fun. I will copy the route and put it back to my high school, see what we got over there.



And here are my school and my home in China.

 Yeah, my high school was not very huge, and its compact structure were because that it used to be a defensive stronghold until after world war 2.











Everything looks so grey on google map, when it goes to Chinese BAIDU map...eh......The color are way too cool to be true.


=====================================================================================================================================================================

Redo the route map. In the scale of 1:10000. 1 centimeter to 100 meters.

SHOVELWARE- Culture jamming?

Commercial, Propaganda or Advertising.

To me, they are nothing but a good looking face. I like to have my own idea on everything.

But without first hand experience, not just some first hand experience, but a lot of reference experience, I cannot give a real good idea of something just on my own.
So knowledge from second hand source is undeniable.

Then, I will have to face all kinds of commercial, propaganda and advertisment.

Generally speaking, I dont think they are either good or bad, they are what they are. Everything they said are just an new idea, that can effect our final decision.

When buying stuff, first, I always buy stuff that I know. When buying some new stuff, either I heard of it from some source of information I received such as youtube videos and movies, or I found out that I need something, and heard of some brand from my research. To my opinion, all the commercial need to achieve, is just to put their product on my radar.

I really like looking at those culture jamming art piece, they are really creative and some of them have some really good idea that I never though of, giving me a new way of thinking and looking at something.




And about propaganda. I think all the media and government are posting their propaganda all the time. The message they send might looks good, but it could be based on the the ten years of propaganda they have been brain washing us with, and today, they just add a little bit of spice here and there, when people accept and let it get into their auto pilot system of thinking, then the media gives another bit of spice. So propaganda could be very under the surface.

And meanwhile, we see a lot of propaganda style comic, I dont think they are the real powerful weapon of propaganda. People who would watch these comic are people who understand and agree with the polity idea already.

Fake reality show project

I'm thinking about a fake reality show project.
Simulating force on force home defense scenario.
My roommate who is the main guy. (I will call him M)
And unknown invader (B)
One night, when my roommate is working or sleeping in his room. Then hear some weird voice in the living room. So M decides to check it out with his handgun (We will use a BB gun), and since my roommate doesn't have a flash light in real life. M will not using a flashlight in this show.

1. M walked out his room and hear some voice in the kitchen, M found out it is some homeless guy (B) break in for some food. Then M can choose to shoot, or ask B get out of there. Then what happen could be B just walked out or B start arguing with M, even worse, B could start throwing stuff at M. Lets see how M is gonna response.

2. M walked out his room and since he does not have a flashlight, he switch on the big lamp of the living room. Then he saw B is searching for stuff in the living room. Branch: B saw his handgun, and just start run away, or B knee down and ask for mercy, even worse, when B is running away, B pull a gun out and start spraying and pray. What reaction M is going to have?

Or B is not alone, he got a friend behind M? Or B start struggle with M try to take his gun?

3. M walked out to the kitchen and find out it is his neighbor B walked into the wrong room drunk and piss off for some people stole his pizza in the refrigerator. So M can put the gun behind his hip and talk to B. Branch : B can feel so happy to see M, then realize B himself is in the wrong room. Or B got angry and start ask M if he ate B's pizza. Even worse, B start striking M. What does B gonna do?

4.M walked out his room with his gun. All the sudden, someone yelled "Gun!" Then pew pew pew pew pew pew pew, M is lying on the floor with all kind of bullet holes. Turns out, this is a SWAT raid. Invaders are SWAT team operators.


5. M walked into kitchen find a person B is eating stuff in the dumpster, he tell B to stop and turn around. B is not responding. So M put his hand on B's shoulder.
Branch: B turn around and jump on M, B is a Zombie !!!!
Or B shot M with a small pistol.
Or B grab M's hand and perform a Krav maga take down. LOL
 


6. Last thing I got. What ever happened, M discharge his gun and killed B, when M is checking B's body, he hear someone is moaning, so he run over and find out the bullets go through the wall and shot M's roommate. (Though you are not suppose to take the fire if you dont know whats behind your target, but here, M does have no idea what is behind the target. It could happen.)
