So I did spent a good amount of time considering how can I camouflage myself, I looked around for what I have for such days but could not find a good inspiration. And then I recall that when I was living in a dorm both in high school and my 3/4 college freshman year, I would always pick the top of a bunkbed, and whenever I’m in my bed watching Netflix or doing work, people would have a hard time finding me. I would have friends came in and thought no one was in the room and left. I thought the definition of a camouflage is when someone or something is right in front of you but you can’t tell where it is, and this is me whenever people cannot find me! It would be a lot better effect if I am actually on the top of the bunker bed and you will see what I mean.

After months and months of endless tests and assignments(and sleep-deprivation) in college, I’ve decided that my ideal night out is the most relaxing night I could possibly create for myself. This means comfy PJs, tasty snacks, blankets on blankets, and of course, Netflix pulled up on my laptop — all in the comfort of my own bed(my “venue”). Not a very exciting night out to most, but it’s all I could wish for these days. Here is the link to my video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=12YexkWJ8MuBgtL8zxItPdsRuukpBTfEb

I have been stuck in this room for more than a week now and I got my inspiration after seeing my black coat handing in the closet behind the giant wardrobe, a perfect place to hide. I put my phone on the desk and angled properly before recording the closet. It turns out that the space is really not enough for me to put the coat on and I have to walk out before wearing the coat. Also, I need to bend my legs so that my head will not show behind the hanger. Here is the video I posted.

Here is my second attempt to share my video.

I accidentally recorded this in portrait mode instead of landscape because I hadn’t checked the side quest yet, but I think I was able to better capture the scene I am hidden in. My dogs were very enthusiastic to be involved in my camouflage journey.

I have worn the same white sweatshirt every day of quarantine, so I knew it had to be incorporated into my camouflage. I concealed myself with a beige scarf and white bag to blend in. Then, I stood inside my white closet and revealed myself amidst the white background, just like a ghost. Boo!

Here is my movie!

I hid in the T.V. and then popped out to say hi to my Dad.

These past few days and weeks (maybe even months who knows) have been pretty uneventful. All I do is sit around with my family, do work, play video games, and sleep. Every day. Same schedule. So, I saw my suitcase laying around and decided I’d make my camouflage side quest a bit metaphorical. Sometimes I dream about purchasing the first flight I see, no matter where to, and gloriously leaving my house to actually do something interesting. I do know, though, that there are people who have it worse than me, so I’m also trying to make the best out of my quarantine experience. I hope you enjoy my video.

For my third hometasking assignment, I turned into a baseball cap! In my front closet my family keeps all our outdoor clothing including winter gloves, ski caps, and hats. On both doors, a cap rack hangs down which has all the caps my dad collects from the golf tournaments he attends and the sponsorships he gets for his local radio show. I took the bottom cap off of the shelf and curled up into a ball so only the cap would be shown initially. My dad started from the top of the rack and lowered the camera until it got to me where I revealed myself. This was the first time I got help from my dad on one of these assignments and he was intrigued by the concept of these hometasks to say the least. He got really into it and given how creative he is he was able to help my plan come to fruition. The challenge of figuring out an idea to do made this the most fun hometask yet because it felt rewarding to watch the final product.

My first plan and second plan have failed. This was my third plan. This video uses a somewhat similar idea from the first video. If you can find me in the first try, you should be a detective. The challenge I faced for this task was that I failed my other plans, so it actually took me three hours to do this assignment, excluding the time I spent to think about the idea. For this time, I did not see videos on twitter, so someone might have already uploaded a similar one. Again, I appreciate my mother for taking a video and giving me the idea of using the technology again.
