10) Capstone Journey - Part 3/3 Reflection video

Aloha everyone! 🌸

Welcome to my Capstone Journey! 🎓✨ This is it—the final stretch, the reflection, and the moment I get to look back on everything I’ve created, learned, and overcome. From the early brainstorming sessions to the long nights in Figma and feedback-filled meetings, this journey has been challenging, meaningful, and full of growth. I’m excited to share with you what this experience has taught me—not just as a student, but as a creative, a problem-solver, and a storyteller.

—------------------------------------------------

In this video, I will go over:

What were your thoughts about your research topic going into the first week of the semester?

I had a rough beginning. I wasn’t sure whether to pursue an internship or a capstone project, so I turned to my professors for advice—and they all strongly encouraged me to go with the capstone. I also debated whether to create a music education app focused on Western music theory or to explore Japanese music, specifically the shamisen, a traditional three-stringed Japanese instrument. At first, I just knew I wanted to make something music education-related, but I wasn’t sure how to narrow it down. I felt overwhelmed by all the possibilities and didn’t yet know how to tie everything together in a clear, meaningful way.

2. What are your thoughts now about your research topic and your project/practicum?

Now, I feel really proud of how it turned out. I strongly believe taht my project, ShamiZen, showcases my upbringing—in my academic bacground in music, Creative Media, and Video game Design and Development, and my passion in , coding and shamisen. It’s more polished, personal, and purposeful than I imagined in Week 1. I’m glad I stuck with it and let it grow with me.

3. What did you learn about yourself as a creative through this journey?

Through this journey, I’ve learned that I do have solid ideas and a clear creative vision—I just needed to find the right structure and tools to bring them to life. I realized I’m a perfectionist; I get really nitpicky about small details, which can be both a strength and a challenge. But I also learned that having a vision isn’t enough. Execution is just as important, and that comes from planning, outlining, and being open to feedback. I discovered that when I have structure—like wireframes, timelines, and support systems—I’m able to channel my creativity much more effectively.

4. What did you learn about the creative and production process?

The biggest lesson I learned is that pre-production is everything. I used to think the actual production—building the app—would take the most time and effort, but it’s really the preparation that lays the foundation for success. Research, user studies, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes all take time, and skipping over them just leads to more stress later. Once your blueprint is solid, the rest of the process flows more smoothly. I also gained a deep appreciation for designers, especially UI/UX designers—so much of the vision comes from them, and they really are the unsung heroes of the process.

5. What advice would you give new senior capstone students?

Start earlier than you think you need to—seriously. Even before the semester officially begins, start brainstorming and preparing. Give yourself time to explore different directions and don’t underestimate the value of research and planning. Pre-production might not feel glamorous, but it will make everything else easier. Get feedback early and often, whether it’s from professors, peers, or people who know the topic. And most importantly, choose a topic you’re genuinely passionate about. That passion will keep you going when you hit roadblocks or question yourself. Your motivation needs to come from within, and passion is what fuels that.

6. Where to now?

Now that the semester is wrapping up, I’m preparing for graduation—finally! After that, I’m planning to take a short break to rest and reset, then possibly continue developing ShamiZen with the goal of launching it in the future. I’m also looking forward to joining the Women’s Freelance Alliance (WFA) cohort this summer to keep building on this project. Beyond that, I’ll be applying to jobs in the tech field, ideally in software engineering, with the hope that my capstone can show potential employers what I’m capable of. This project helped me grow so much, and I feel more confident entering the professional world with something so personal and meaningful to show for it.

Episode 3 of "Harmonies of Heartache" is out now!! ͙͘͡★

The third and last episode of "Harmonies of Heartache" is finally out! This was such a fun project and I hope you were just as immersed as I was. This episode deals with the musicality of Mitski's music and discusses how her various approaches enhance the Melodrama in her Music. Furthermore I reflect on her growth and evolution as an artist, fueled by artistic ambiguity and melodrama.

Thanks for listening up to this point. Bye! :)

I'm reaching out for a bit of help here. I'm working on my university project about international economics and financial things (yeah, I know, sounds boring). I'm looking for a new idea/ research topic that hasn't been done before and isn't too difficult to gather secondary data on (places like Bloomberg doesn't give data for free). If you have any thoughts on this, I'd be thankful if you could share them.

Greetings. In the midst of this disheartening academic labyrinth, I seek your solace and counsel. My pursuit revolves around the desolate realms of international and financial economics, a domain veiled in obscurity. Alas, I yearn for a topic ensconced in the gloom of uncharted territories, where secondary data is but a dim glimmer. This melancholic quest seeks the embodiment of uniqueness, as existing paths lay shrouded in repetitiveness. Should you harbor insights that pierce the darkness and unearth untrodden paths, I beseech you to cast them upon this forlorn page. Your wisdom could cast a feeble light on this dreary path, guiding me toward a desolate but unexplored research niche. Eternally grateful for your somber companionship on this academic odyssey.

Decided to do this whole thing in traditional 2D coz 3D doesn't go very well with this particular animation. Plus it's easier and quicker to do in the limited time I have left. Traditional 2D hand-drawn animation FTW!!! 🤘 #2D #blackcrow #universityproject #animation #animationstudent #changetack #changemymind https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkzXANgfAO/?igshid=k7ge2yfm56tx

I used one of these for my banner on here, but these are the final character sheets I did for my final animation at uni! i’ll post more of the design work soon and perhaps posting the actual animation at the end would make sense - the kids are called Oscar and Ava :D (They also have a corgi called Merlin!)

“VESTMENT”

inspired by Joseph Beuys and his FELTSUIT

[gangsofbirmingham]

"You have your mother’s common sense but your father’s devilment. I see them fighting. Let your mother win."

This quote describes our main character quite well. We start the series in Small Heath, Birmingham in 1919. Thomas (Tommy) Shelby and his brothers Arthur and John came back from fighting in the war, each one of them battling their own demons ever since. Thomas is the leader of a gang called the Peaky Blinders. (We will go deeper into explaining that name later on…)

The Shelby family has some more members: sister Ada, little brother Finn and aunt Polly, which is like a mother to all of them and who ran the family business while the three eldest brothers were fighting in the war. The family business consists of illegal betting at horse races and other criminal activities. However, this isn’t enough for Tommy, who wants to rise up in the world and make a better life for himself and his family.

Trouble is getting bigger when policeman Chester Campbell is being sent to Birmingham in order to clean out the city of criminals. In truth he is there to investigate a robbery concerning national security. The seemingly stolen goods fell into Tommys hands by accident - who now sees his opportunity to change his life by gambling with the police, given the fact that the goods in question are a big amount of machine guns, rifles and ammunition.

Tommy is making quite some enemies on his way, not only Chief Campbell and other gangs - but also within his own family. Polly is against keeping the weapons as bait.

To top everything off, Tommy meets Grace, the new bartender in the Garrison, the local pub controlled by the Peaky Blinders. The beautiful young lady doesn’t seem to fit in the harsh area and the pub… which has a reason you’re soon to discover 🤯
