Shandon

My name is Shandon Fleming and I specialized in Computation Arts at Concordia University. My strongest skills in the field are video editing, animation, and graphic design.

Graphic Designer/Animator at TEL EM (2022-06 – 2022-08)

What the job entailed: the creation of still ads for the company and the creation of video ads for the company.

• I received a prompt for a still ad
• I used graphic design to construct the still ad
• My completed work was then presented to my advisors/the heads of the marketing department
• Once the work was approved, I would then use animation to animate the still ad into a video advertisement
• The video advertisement was then reviewed by the heads of the marketing department
• Once the animated advertisement was approved, it was published to social media and television

Student - Video Editing/Animation Project at Concordia University (2021 – 2021)

In a research project directed towards the art of typography, I was tasked with animating and using typography to add "visual audio" to a block of film that contained absolutely no dialogue. The aim of this project was to develop the skill of using edited video and typography to be able to effectively relay a detailed message to a viewer without the use of sound (whether voices or music).

Student - Animation Project at Concordia University (2022 – 2022)

In a semester long animation-focused experimental project, I used animated text to express the thoughts and remarks of mute cartoon characters to enhance the context of a short film. This project served as a continuation of a project from the prior school year. Whilst I was allowed to integrate audio in the form of music for this project, I was still prohibited from utilizing any form of verbal dialogue.

The aim of this regulation was to limit the mediums of media that we could integrate in our work so that we as students would become more effective at delivering an extensive and emotional message to our viewers solely with the use of visual art and media in the form of animation.

Student - Tangible and Digital Arts Exhibition Collaborator at Concordia University (2023 – 2024)

In a collaboration between third and fourth year undergrad students from both the Design and Computation Arts programs, as a culmination of our work and the evolution of our work throughout the duration of our studies, we organized and held a public exhibition of our various projects. These projects varied from UI/UX, beta applications, and simple flash games to hybrid artwork in the form of a merge between physical textiles and integrated electronics.
