landscape. At first opportunity, we will capture via machinima the look and sound of the region, and all the regions. For now, here's your quick visual tour. Click on photos to enlarge.
Our first orientation into listening commences this week, Tuesday June 18th and runs through
Thursday, June 20th. Then we set the students free to explore the many levels prepared for them.
To appreciate all this imagery, you have to realize we started with absolutely nothing - on the bottom level, we had just a standard lifeless terrain, which had to be completely overhauled. It look like we had landed on the moon, so it occurred to me to plant a flag as a joke.
On other levels, we had to build in the sky, making something out of air, so to speak. The creation of these several regions took one month, which is record time.
Special thanks to filmmaker/photographer/virtual artist Belinda Barnes for all her amazing help with this project. None of this would be possible without her assistance, creativity and hard work. On behalf of SIUC and UWA, we acknowledge her contributions.
More photos to come of the other regions and our activities on them.
Thanks to all who helped make this project possible. In addition to the Office of Distance Education (Director Gayla Stoner), we thank those in the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts (SIUC) - Interim Dean Dafna Lemish, Assistant Dean Clare Mitchell, Academic Adviser Jean Kelly, Business Manager Debi Harmon, and of course Acting Chairperson Novotny Lawrence.
