Chase's Portfolio
My name is Chase Weinholdt and I am currently pursuing my education at Arizona State University, where I have worked on various digital media and graphic design projects. I have much experience in high-end hospitality which has provided me valuable insight into customer preference and expectation. I plan to incorporate this knowledge into my graphic design work.

Project Statement
For my Final Raster project I had to think about something original to make into my composite creation. I decided after many ideas to pick the idea of playing football on the moon. Specifically playing the Super Bowl on the moon as the ultimate middle ground for both teams.
I used three different online sources. One of them being the picture of the moon or the background. The second being the football field and the third being the crowd/stadium. The pictures that I took are the pictures of the exercise bikes, the potted plants, and the lamps lighting the stadium.
Card Design

Project Statement
After looking through a few different greeting and birthday cards, I decided that the direction that I wanted to go in for this project was comedy. In my personal opinion, I think that the best cards you can get from someone are ones that make you laugh. The few that I saw online were comedic cards, so I decided to go in that direction. The joke is about getting wiser as you age, so I decided to use an Owl. I traced the owl and traced him standing a candle. I feel that this helped portray the joke I was going for in the design.
Sound Walk

Project Statement
For my Audio Final Project, I did my Audio Walk on a golf course. I figured that being it is such a quiet place, this would work perfectly for the project aim that I was going for. There were many sounds to choose from but I was able to narrow it down to birds, golf swing, gravel, fountain, and lawn mower. These sounds stuck out the most and really gave the nature feel. The effect that I added was more bass into the golf swing. This gave the more hits and more sound to hear.

Project Statement
For this project, I decided to recreate the movie The Guilty. I found that this movie would be an interesting challenge because the movie is from one point of view of a person, but there are three different characters being presented in one set of shots. The video editing was a great challenge incorporating screenshots and screen records with actual footage. The main challenge that I found was trying to recreate the shots. This was overcome by adding a little creativity to the shots and making something that was a good representation of the film.
Stop Motion Animation

Project Statement
This project I kept simple to show proof of concept. I wanted to try to match up ai voices with the characters in my animation. The soldiers are playing hide and seek and I found to this to be a harder task using already solidified characters because you can’t show true emotion with plastic characters. I found that this project gave me a solid understanding of stop motion and animation!
