We made our own video version of Hamlet and I did all the video editing, including a scene based on Phantom Menace, including the music and me rotoscoping in the lightsabers.

Literally a 10 second lightsaber duel took me a whole day in premiere and photoshop. But the fact is in my high school in 2002 it blew everyone’s minds. In my humble opinion it looked very good.

I once wrote a larger piece on nuclear energy.

I had to do a comparative religion project in secondary school. I completely forgot to do it, which was the custom at that time. It was Sunday at 7pm and I resolved to do the whole thing in less than an hour.
I searched through the garage and found a small compressed cardboard reindeer that was painted gold as a winter decoration. I used tin snips to remove the antlers and wrote a paragraph on the Golden Calf.

Most efficient B- I have ever received.

In high school physics I wrote a parabolic motion simulator. You could set the angle and initial velocity, and it would draw the path of the projectile. I made it so you could set the force of gravity. I also added the ability to set a horizontal force just for shits and giggles.

When I was in gym class later, we were out on the field playing baseball. I saw a ball hit into the wind and the trajectory matched my simulation of the trajectory of a projectile with a horizontal force acting on it.

So, I was pretty pleased by that.

Halloween project in elementary school: “peanut house of horror.” Had a little diorama of peanuts with googly eyes in a dungeon getting destroyed in every way a peanut could. Swinging pendulum halfway gouged into one. Another on a stretcher rack cracked in half. One getting crunched in a press. Shells all over the floor like a damn Texas Roadhouse.

Building a computer over the year and learning parts by parts what it all does and how to put them together and all that stuff. All the computers where broken/donated to the program, afterwards our teacher was cool and let us all play quake together on a lan network.

Bruh, I literally took a short nap becauae I sort of had a panic attack, then I had a dream/nightmare of being in K-12 school again 💀

which just means I wake up for a nap with more panic… lol

Two assignments. First was in high school for a media project we had to write a short story. The teacher gave us free reign so I made a story set in the Last of Us universe since I was playing it at the time. Today, I’m editing that story, which I turned into a completely original story, in preperation for submitting it to agents to be published.

Second, in university I took an elective to learn how to make games. I created a side scroller with sort of the help of another student I knew that bailed on presentation day and who also didn’t do much to help anyway. Today, I have a working prototype of a 2.5D beat em up survival game that I have been working on my spare time.
