Inspiration

Will.i.am's talk about how so many things are connected is what inspired us to create HueTunes.

What it does

HueTunes takes an audio recording of a song, and it connects music to visual art by transforming the melody into a colour palette.

How we built it

We used flask - a program we didn't know existed until just yesterday! We went through many planning and brainstorming sessions to end up where we are now.

Challenges we ran into

We both stepped out of our comfort zones for this hackathon, and we challenged ourselves to try backend development. It was very difficult, and we learned in a very hands-on way, which was stressful but wholly rewarding. We also tried to understand the open source code that we used, which was overwhelming for the both of us. However, we learned a lot from this experience.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are extremely proud of being able to come up with a project idea that we both enjoyed as well as were challenged in.

What we learned

We learned that pulling all nighters is not at all pleasant — the hard way, of course. On the way to learning that, we also picked up many skills such as flask, and such as collaborating on github.
