Mat is one of our year 4 Digital Media and Interaction Design students. This piece shows off his skills in integrating additional visual elements and effects into video.
This work was created for Visual Effects Storytelling, one of the year 4 modules on the Digital Media and Interaction Design course. The module is run by Dr. Richard Hetherington and Andrew McKelvey. Look out for more great work from our students soon.
Many thanks to Mat for allowing us to share his work.
Barna Imre, one of our year 3 Digital Media and Interaction Design students, describes his motion graphics projects as “kafkaesque nonsense”. The piece has a strong visual style and challenges viewers to look a little more deeply at his work to discover some of the cultural references within.

This Motion Graphic was created by Year 3 Digital Media Global Student Murray Paterson.
Murray says “The visual Inspiration behind Under the Weather was drawn from tiger aspect studio’s “Charlie and Lola”, where they create this really playful rough cut collage aesthetic by mixing hand drawn elements with chopped up photographs. I thought it would help give the piece a nice, light hearted kind of atmosphere. As for the inspiration for the story, my walk to uni had a big part to play really. For a month or so before the piece was due, walking through Bruntsfield links was comically windy. I was nearly getting blown off my feet day to day, plastic bags were terrorising civilians and i imagined men with toupees refusing to leave their homes. I found it all quite funny and thought it would be appropriate subject matter for our brief themed: ‘the environment’. “
Murray is off to Australia on placement in a few weeks – hope that the weather is better behaved for him there!

This project is by year 4 Digital Media and Interaction Design student, Calum Parsons. Calum says “I wanted to experience working with green screens in an outdoor location on this project. The howling wind and rain on the day of the shoot certainly made it challenging, and dealing with it in post-production ruined my life for two weeks. 2/10 would not recommend. Turned out pretty okay though. Fun module.”

We are excited to share the pitch video for The invisible Sixteen – a concept for a game based on Burke and Hare that was created by Alan, Alba, Celina and James for their Digital Storytelling Coursework. In the game, users must choose a character to play and then help to find missing people at various locations around Edinburgh. The team designed all aspects of the game, from user interactions and sound design to additional materials to help extend the experience.
Character selection – each character has their own attributes,
One of the characters makes some strange discoveries at Edinburgh’s Surgeon’s Hall Museum.
Character moving through the scene and his position in the game world shown in the inset.
The team created additional media to help create a buzz around the screen-based game and expand on the experience.

Flint is a concept for an interactive talking book that was created by Silvia, Kaia, Adam & Katie for their Digital Storytelling Coursework. The project is (loosely!) based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Tinderbox. The team produced a comprehensive range of concept materials to help visualise their project. As well as their pitch video, you can see here an interactivity map, various concept designs and plans to include Braille to make the project more accessible. They even managed to find an abandoned wild west town, right here in Edinburgh!

Today’s post has been written by Matt who is in year 3 of our Digital Media Global course and is currently studying in Australia. As you can see from his images and video he is taking full advantage of the experience!
My semester abroad has easily been the best decision I’ve ever made. I know it sounds stereotypical and you’ve heard it a bunch of times but it’s true. I’ve met so many people and made so many close friends that it’s difficult to imagine never meeting these people. I feel I was fortunate in the fact that my accommodation (International House) was full of people just like me and we got along right from the start. There were 12 of us in total and we planned our first trip a couple weeks in, hiring a couple of cars and doing a road trip through the great Ocean Road. We’ve travelled to Cairns when we had a week off University and also went to Tasmania for the weekend! After our semester finished we went from Melbourne to Sydney to Brisbane, Gold Coast and now Bali.
Found the Scottish beach hut on Brighton beach!
Sydney!
New friends
And Bali!
It’s great to see Matt making the most of his time abroad, looking forward to finding out about all he and the other Global students who are currently with him have learned and seeing more of their photos and videos in September when they come back for year 4. Talk to us if you are a current or prospective student and you fancy an adventure like this!
We just wanted to share these images that show the huge range of projects our Digital Media Global student Dan Tocik was involved in during his study abroad in Germany. He’s back to Scotland now and using his new skills for his honours year.

Our year 3 students Mat and Alison have been working with Dr. Tom Flint at Farmingdale College in New York State. They’ve worked with students there to create an exhibition that blends art and technology with interesting spaces focussed around the “Highline”. Mat and Alison received funding from our mobility fund to enable them to travel and build on what they are learning at Edinburgh Napier. Here they are demonstrating some Augmented Reality technology to the group. You can follow their progress on their blog https://blendedspaces.tumblr.com/ and on Tom’s Twitter account – @tomflint
We’re only going back two years this time! Here we have a short clip from a project from 2016 led by our lecturers Dr. Tom Flint and Andrew McKelvey. The project that provides visitors to Edinburgh’s Dovecot studios with a unique view onto the weaving floor. The 360 video features hotspots that tell the user more about the different roles involved in the creation of the Dovecot’s amazing tapestries.
