Animator, Illustrator and Programmer; looking for fun topics in the CS, math and physics domain #95

Closed Batsy24 closed 2 years ago

Batsy24 commented 2 years ago

Brief

Hello! Im a soon-to-be-high school-graduate who loves Art, Math, physics and Computer science. My experience in each domain is as follows

Art

Im currently aspiring to be an artist and can animate and illustrate fairly well, I can mainly animate in 2d and in a frame-to-frame manner however im willing to learn manim too. I can also do basic graphic design.

Math

I love math all around, Im relatively good at integrals, differential equations and derivatives, I'm not very good at trig but I still like it, I don't have any specific interests in math, I just like most of it.

Physics

I love reading about physics and while I'm not necessarily great at It (at least in HS) I love topics about general relativity and astrophysics. I dislike classical mechanic very much but other than that I like most domains of physics.

Computer science

Ive been programming in python for about 2-3 years now and am learning c# recently. I specifically like doing ML and DL related stuff and am willing to learn libraries like manim.

Portfolio

Target topic categories

I'd prefer making a video about a computer science, physics or pure math related topic that is more on the mathematical side. I'd also prefer doing something that requires minimal prerequisite knowledge for example: Back propagation in neural nets only require the very basic knowledge of calculus.

Target medium

Id prefer making a short video since I like animation however I'm also willing to try other media like Blog posts or Keynotes.

Contact details

you may DM me on Instagram or discord Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alpine_runes/ Discord: silversama47#8663

Additional context

I should mention that I cannot work on larger projects such as a longer video or a game since I have to be working on my college portfolio alongside this competition and so that will take up a large part of my time. however ill make sure that whatever it is that I do, will come out looking great.

I'm a big supporter of making animations about interpolations, as the animation is very straightforward and you learn the subject as you implement the animation, but this is more relevant to animating using manim or something like that where you can simply animate function progression which doesn't seem to be your style. There is a vast variety of interesting topics (like the Reimann hypothesis for example which I haven't seen any video clarifying to the elementary level) that simply won't look good as an abstract animation, how about going for something more fundamental like counting systems or topology? Or would you rather learn more advanced animation methods?

This is merely a piece of advice you don't have to adhere to it...

I'm saying that because you wrote

I love the math and logic that is used in the domain of Neural networks, id love to do something related to that

Which I just don't think will fit your style (there is a lot of complicated mess)

I have a topic about gauge symmetries in the standard model that you might be interested in. Do you want to collab? For more info you can reply here, email me fermionphysicsprodigy@gmail.com or leave a comment on my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/c/FermionPhysics

Reach out to me - it seems like you might like my brief explanation of relativity even if we don't end up collabing. https://github.com/leios/SoME_Topics/issues/103

Batsy24 commented 2 years ago

@donno2048 I did realise that at one point when doing the things that ive put up on my portfolio, for example I had to draw the crystal lattice by hand for several frames. I've been meaning to learn manim for a long time and I think thats what I'll probably do. Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it.

@farbowitz Hello, I read your "issue" post about the brief explanation for GR, it sounds fun however I'm not entirely sure what exactly you're thinking of doing/explaining, can you give me some more details?

kingking1223 commented 2 years ago

Hello, My idea is #121 about binary, logic gates and karnaugh maps. I hope that you will be interested.

I interested in doing a video about Seam Carving which is a computer vision algorithm to resize an image taken in to account its contents. Some interesting resources:

Hi! I'd like to make a short video explaining many-worlds quantum mechanics (#81). You mentioned that you like reading about physics, so I'd recommend giving the post a read even if you're not interested in contributing to it. I feel like it's a more intuitive perspective on the topic than most pop sci gives, answering questions like "why does the universe split" or "where are the other universes?" I'm looking for an artist/animator, and I think if the video gets made, it'll clear up a lot of common misconceptions of the topic.

Batsy24 commented 2 years ago

@ynfie im sorry, It isn't quite like what I was thinking about. Although thanks a lot for the links! I read up a bit and this stuff looks really cool, I look forward to what you do with it!

azlhiacneg commented 2 years ago

Would you be interested in making a video in the origami mathematics world? I should also preface this by saying that currently my summer is somewhat busy, but I'd love to do something. So a short video might be perfect.

I've been thinking about doing something related to Erik Demaine's work. He has a bunch of good lectures, and I'll probably have to get permission first (I don't see why he'd turn me down), but it'll be fun to turn them into a fun video for the general public!

I'm also connected to him so I can reach out to him quite easily to see if he has cool ideas for a video, but I'm thinking something along the lines of "how to fold anything in origami". Him and several other experts in the field have done a lot of math/CS research on that topic (different folding models, different physics based ideas, etc.), and it'll be cool to turn it into a video!

@Batsy24 It's mainly meant to be a no-background-necessary intro to why GR exists, how it works, and maybe a couple examples. Sort of an easy taster to get people interested in the physics of relativity with a couple examples.

Batsy24 commented 2 years ago

@farbowitz Oh.. I'm sorry, it sounds really fun and I look forward to seeing what you do with it but its a little too inclined towards physics for me, for SoME2 I was hoping to do something more mathematical with maybe some ties and applications in the other domains im interested in like physics and cs. good luck!

Batsy24 commented 2 years ago

@azlhiacneg Hey! this actually sounds really fun! Can you give me 2-3 days to go over the topic a bit so I get to know it a bit more? it sounds just like something id like to work on.

azlhiacneg commented 2 years ago

@Batsy24 Yep sounds good! Let me know what you decide!

aargup934 commented 2 years ago

I would like to put up my idea at #18, it contains stuff like Ramsey theory and Graph theory.

Batsy24 commented 2 years ago

@azlhiacneg hello, I watched the first lecture from the playlist that you linked and I think this is a pretty fun topic that I'd love to tackle. I do still have some questions about it though, do you have a discord where we can discuss them?

azlhiacneg commented 2 years ago

@Batsy24 Yep I'm in the SoME server. I'm Origami Alice#1775.
