Professional Video Review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpq66FJh8zA
The Video i reviewed was Roomie's cover of This Summer by Maroon five. The video was filmed with a 360 camera allowing the viewer to look around while watching, the singer takes video in multiple places, and edits himself to where he is playing every instrument. The video quality is low do to it having to render out so much. He doesn't really follow all the different shots due to the difficulty framing when its a 360 video. The video could improve by syncing the lips a little better but other than that the video left me amazed.

Professional Review

 I reviewed the animation series called RWBY. Its a 3D style animation that is based all around characters named after colors. It has some really fast paced and interesting combat sequences and has a really dynamic story. The show is really popular with gamers due to it being voiced and produced by a gaming team.The Story is of a girl named Ruby going to a higher level school for hunting monsters, and the conflicts she faces with all of the students and the main villain.

 The 3D style animation can be sorta harmful for viewing due to the fact if gives the effect of motion blur, the animation has really inspired me with its greatly developed characters, the creator really made you feel for the characters. This show has made me want to do more detailed animations with 3D styles and great characters.

What I made

Animation

Summary

The scope was to get us to understand and practice working as a team, instead of individually. Our process was to make the idea, draw some sketches and then start working on the final design, and other parts of the project. What i learned is that making websites isn't as hard as i always thought it was, and that working with a team has its bad times, but in the end, you always pull through.What i would do differently is collaborate more with my team instead of us only selectively working together. What i would do the same would be my decision on what part of the project to do, making the website was extremely fun and interesting. What i will draw is to put more time into the teamwork and focus on quality control and not just rush everything. In the end, this was a fun experience and i would trade anything for it. I enjoyed all of it.

Ecomm Shower Video

This is a thing that i did. It was ok i guess but we didn't have many good clips to work with so its kinda weird, but i like it. So go buy it or buy will never have fun in the shower.

House animation/ Questions

The scope was to learn how to make things in Sketch up and how to turn it into an animation.
My process was to find a house to model it after, make the basic design, then add details and color.
I learned how to use Sketch up, and learned that i can make my dream house.
I would add windows/ details to the back. Cause my house was bare in the back.
What i would do the same? EVERYTHING ELSE!! Seriously i loved the way my house turned out.
I will remember how to use sketch up.
This was fun, i would do it again.

Super Sad Keynote animation

The Scope of this project of was to teach us how to ale stop motion animations. My process was to try to make a video game themed video, then make each character very flexible and add some nice sound clips to tie it all together. I learned that making videos is very easy with keynote and is fun if you have friends to make suggestions. Next time i would spend a little more time smoothing out each frame, i spent some time but some slides are still a little rough. Each of the joints, i love the way that each figure could bend and flex. Even simple shapes can make a good animation. I would love to do this again.

Finals

The tool we used the most for this project was the text mask tool and used the effects panel to make them more transparent.

 Here we used the clone stamp tool and we selected the edge then slightly moved it to the side to give the effect of movement.

 We used the text mask tool and then selected the inverse and added a gradient of blue and black so that the school was showing through the letters then I edited the colors of the picture to make it look more like a painting.

Here we used multiple pictures then selected them and added them to the big picture, the lasso tool, the effects panel, and then added a vector mask to each of the pictures to make it seem more dreamy and remove some of the edges.
