Final Work Day on Project 4

Revision Plan

Here is the link for my rough cut: http://etherealariel.weebly.com/ (I’ll probably do some work on it today or tomorrow, though, so it could be updated by the time you look at it!)

Overview of Project 4

What Makes A Good Remix A good remix keeps most of the qualities of the original story, and incorporates them into very unique and visual projects. The remixes aren’t too long – I was interested in most of them for the duration of the presentation. Good remixes also add very unique details to the stories […]
