My 10 Strengths Animation

The Project

So this quarter I started animation. I honestly am not excited for this class but so far its been good. For my first project I used the words from my 10 strengths to make an animation. This first project was pretty simple but i know its probably going to get harder once we really get into it. 


What I learned/ The Process

So for this project I learned how to use photo shop and I learned that Photoshop isn't just for pictures you can also use it to edit and make videos which I thought was pretty cool. So first I typed out all of my words in different sizes and different colors and positions and fonts. So we basically just placed them first. Then the next day I got to start animating them and actually making them move. First we basically had to make point a and point be and the computer would do the rest and make the words move. So you can make the words bounce around and even make them spin which i thought was pretty cool. 

My Thoughts

Overall I thought the project was pretty easy and it was a good one to start with and to just learn the basics of photoshop and animation. I really liked this project probably because it was easy and it didn't take that long to do.

House Project

The Project So for this project we used sketchup and we had to make a model of a house we found on houseplans.com. This let us learn sketchup more and how to use different techiques in sketchup. The Process First we had to find a house then we had to look at the measurements of the house. I first just made a big block then I shaped it to look like my house. Then once I just got the shape of my house I added a porch and stairs. Then I started adding windows, doors and stuff like that. Then finally I looked back at my house and just tried to compared them and I added extra details that I forgot to do. Then after that I made an animation of giving a tour of my house.  I used this texture for my porch I used this texture for my house. What I Learned I learned how to use sketchup and different tools and techniques within sketchup. Like the push and pull tool to make a shape different heights. Then I learned how to use the orbital tool to move the camera an...

Short Film

What I Learned I worked on the "Victoria" I learned that sometimes you need to problem solve last minute and I learned how to do that because 2 actors quit on us. We got replacements fast and made an effective schedule that works for everyone. I also learned how to organize everything better to make everything easier.  What I Would Do Differently I would have picked different actors who were reliable the first time so we did not have to spend a lot of time just worrying. I also would have changed the volume in some shots the car scene needed to be quieter and the coffee scene needed the audio of the dialogue to be louder. Also next time to make sure there is no jump cuts.

Music Video

About The Project For this project we had to choose a music video to recreate. My group decided to recreate "Young Dumb & Broke'" by Khalid. First we had to make a story board, film scape and beat sheet. Then we went out to film. Then we edited it.  What I Learned During this project I learned how much work it actually takes to make a music video. My job was being the director. As the director I blocked scenes and I also learned how to be a better leader and taking the lead in decision making. I learned how to use color correction a lot better. I also learned how to use some shortcuts so I can edit faster. I also learned how to use white balance in post production. I also learned how to slow down and speed up clips. I also learned I feel like how to a better leader when directing and  Reflection For this project what I would differently is pick a video that matches the weather we are having because the weather was a big problem. I would also try to get mo...
