ONW now project

This project was a weird one. I haven't been given an outline for this to follow, so ill just give a synopsis of how we finished it, as well as my role in it. We were split into two different groups, and we each did the same thing. We started by coming up with the stories we would use. We then recorded the intro. All the people who were recording stores went out to record them, and I stayed here since I was part of production. we did a few run-throughs. and then actually recorded. After that we were finally done.

Multilayer/ Story blog

   So, my multilayer project is complete. I decided what I would do, is make it on a distant planet. I am not the one who made the planet, however I did recreate it, thus the title. It took me a little extra time to finish it, but boy am I glad I did. I first made the background and worked up for the rest. I edited the movement of the layers, and this was the result.









I couldn't finish the story animation. Im sorry. here is what I have though

Final

    My first project of  the year was a remake of my bouncing ball project. I  Made a ball with a background and multiple layers for the foreground. Through the project i learned how to use after effects to make animations. I haven't been very great at using after effects, but I do know enough about it to make it work and get things done, and done well. I have been trying to improve my skills. If I could redo this animation, I would have  fixed all the little errors with it. Overall, this was a well done project, that I enjoyed making.



   Another one of the projects I did was the story animation. It required me to make multiple characters, backgrounds, faces and layers. Through this project I learned that animation is incredibly time consuming. I spent hours upon hours working on it, but then issues occurred leaving me no time to work. I ended up staying after eventually, but even that wasn't enough, thus it is incomplete. However after this is up, I will be posting the work I did get done.




   My first big project in Maya, was making a castle with polygons. I learned how to use booleans, as well as apply textures. It was a very interesting project, and a lot of fun too, since I was doing something new. As soon as I finished it, I screwed up something with the camera, so it didn't look quite right. If I could do it again, I wouldn't screw up the camera.

written story

Every day we are constantly using our phones, wether we are playing games, talking with friends, or streaming videos, we all seem to be using them multiple times a day. Some use them more than others, some use less. We went into the halls to ask people about their phone usage as well as how addicted society is to them. Our most common answers to those questions were either yes, or it depends. A lot of people we talked to said that they were addicted to their phones, and some said they were not. Through this, we can infer that it just depends upon the person who is using it.

second feature story

         at the beginning of this project, I was assigned a group. we decided that we should do a video on how people use their phones. We set up the equipment and borrowed a few people for the interview. It was a huge flop as only one student in the entire video took it seriously. we also got b- roll but not much though. this all left me with an underwhelming video which I am not proud of, thus being one of the two videos I made unlisted on my Chanel.

My interview

In this class, my group was assigned to make an interview. We first decided who was doing it, based on what their story was. Then we made the questions and started recording. when recording we used a microphone and multiple different shots. To make sure our shots looked good, we used the white balance feature. Over all I learned how to work better with a team, and how to use b-roll. Next time I. will make sure to not loose my clips.

This is my newest animation. I was going for something really goofy, but I couldn't do It because of my knowledge of Aftereffects. First I drew the character in my thing, and scanned it. I then traced over it, made multiple layers and colored it. I then imported it into aftereffects, and animated it.

ball 3.0

This is my video. I used photoshop to make the worm and backgrounds. I used pins and moved them into positions. I was trying to animate as fluidly as possible, but I couldn't get it right. It ended up moving back and forth repeatedly when it wasn't supposed to.

Boing Boing

This is my ball animation. It is late so I will make this brief. I first mage the layers in photoshop. then I animated it in after effects. once I did all that I uploaded it to youtube. Finally I put it here.

quarter 4/ final

My project was to make a website based on a fictional product we were making. It took all quarter to finish. One of the many challenges we had to face was me someone else an I switching groups pre-maturely. I learned that Im not going to work great with everyone. I was told that i need to put more time into correcting mistakes. I couldn't fix it, as it was to late by then. I enjoyed 4th quarter. It was one heck of a ride, but its one worth riding again.

I used time in class as best as I could. What we would do is add extra touches to things when it was needed. I haven't stayed after school for e-comm yet, as i have always been able to fulfill my role in class.

After one year I have grown as a person. I have learned how to make my work better, and to communicate with others. I also learned how to present in front of others.

I feel like i need to be able to work faster. all year i feel like i have worked to slow and because of this slowed down everyone else's work.

I enjoyed working with new people all the time. I have been able to understand certain people better and gained a better understanding of myself. If I were to change anything i would have put more time into my work. Over all I would say that this year i learned how to understand people better. My new goal is to better myself as person and meet new people.

E-comm final project

This is the aqua bottle. It has the capabilities of refilling itself. It uses the hydrogen in the air, and combines it with the oxygen surrounding it. We made this logo as a from a short series of tests over time and then finished with this one.










While we were working on the logo, we were working on a name for our company. We came up with Splash. Before this version, we had an idea for it where it was plain text with a puddle in the background. We didn't like it so we chose this.











I was not here when making this. I was changing in and out of band clothes the whole hour. I can't comment that much on it.





This was an overall good experience for me, I got to help for once. even if it was just making the logo. I'm glad i got to work with these people.

sequencing

                                 



This is the video  i have been working on for the past few weeks. It has been an overall good production. That is to say that this video is not flawless.

The music didn't feel right.  Thats all i can say.

survey /Apple

On the survey i took, i got an ENFP. It means i am an out going individual with that creative spark. on the other survey i was a beaver.








This apple is an apple. It is a great apple. It is an apple apple. Can the apple apple more than normal apples can apple? It will be an apple of the appliest apple of all the appley apples.

My first experience with video.

Two weeks ago we were told to do a video using the six shots. We were given a partner. My partner had different ideas than I did, so we split up. Now alone, i tried to figure out what to do. At the last minute i came up with this:
 


The only negative feed back that I got was that they didn't like me throwing away the food. I don't know what to do with this.
