My final product of my Capstone project is a music cover video for the song “Better When I’m Dancing”. I first altered the lyrics of the original song to make them fit to the current pandemic situation. Then, I rearranged the music to create an audio track for the song, after which I recorded my vocals over this track. To finalize and enhance the audio, I then sound engineered my track by mixing and mastering the music. After choreographing an original dance for the song, I, with the help of my parents and sponsor, filmed footage to contribute to the video segment of my project. Using video editing, I brought together all this footage, along with my audio, to create a music cover video, or my final product.

I made a small plugin for the game Minecraft that shows some of the ways that increases in greenhouse gas emissions adversely affect the ocean. My plugin contains four main features so far. These are:

1. Whenever the player uses a furnace in game, counters for atmospheric greenhouse gases and the acidity of the ocean goes up.

2. Sea creatures can die due to greenhouse gases increasing the acidity of the ocean and making the water more toxic for marine life.

3. Storms become more frequent as a result of more extreme weather, and 4. As a result of ocean acidity, marine life becomes rarer.

In my project I created a gadget that can help reduce fidgeting. I went through many steps and came across many problems while doing this. I had to worry about it being too loud or too big. I would fix this by adding buffer(s) to make it quiet and get small materials so it's not big. In the end I created a gadget that can help reduce fidgeting.

My final product is a website that outlines and summarizes the steps I took to complete the project. It also has an embedded link to my concert recordings, composition sheet music, and a digital + live music track. Viewers can navigate through five different pages titled “Inspiration,” “Impact,” “Background Research,” “Process,” and “Results.” Each page includes a body of text as well as some images and graphics to accompany the writing.

My project is a dance website. It has videos from the internet curated and organized into styles of difficulty levels. It has a sleek look so that it’s easy to navigate around the site. I don’t think the website has changed at all from what I initially wanted it to look like.
