Rugby Feature Story                  My feature story was about a friend named Isaiah and he always likes to tell me about his new sport so i figured that it would be good idea and i could tell people about how trying a new thing changed everything for him and that he loves it and wants to have other people try things like it. Preparation       This video took me awhile because finding a story was the hardest part but after i got it done i think all the pieces fell into place and that i found a good well rounded story and just needed to find what fit the best with it. I got a time set out that i could get footage and interview then got camera and thought it would all be good and that all pieces would come together. Unfortunately my microphone wasnt set right so i got no audio on the first time so i had to setup another time and it was hard to do this but i did it so my story would feel complete and even though it was dar...

                                       Professional blog review        I reviewed this video on youtube by TheCGIBros and look and reviewed on how they applied the principles of animation to make there film look and act real but have characteristics that give an animation feel. They used a lot of ease in and ease out on this and it made the film really have a good flow of actions without any stutters. Using these principles of animation can really impact a video and i want to include this into my work because this video shows how using simple principles and things like that make a good video into a great one and if i include these in my video then i will be better at animation and have little things that make my videos great. This video has good angles that apply depth and with motion that seems real because closer things are moving fastest. They used a lot of ...

Animation Reflection             My reflection on animation is that it is a challenging but open for a large amount of creativity and the class has taught me a lot but we got through projects fast so i have learned a lot and completed many projects. These are my hammer and castle project that i created using maya and i had to mesh things and use lots of tools to mold and form the shape i desired. The videos below are videos i made using slow key frames and manipulating each frame so that it pleases the eye and that you can enjoy each perception. The goal of these projects is that I learn the tools and get to include my own creativity with other aspects that i find cool and give all my projects their own little appeal that has to do with me so you can tell my work from other peoples work. These project i am very proud of and think that they show what i like about things and how i feel about animation. This pen was a time management project and i learned a...

Castle project     This is my castle project that i created using a maya software. Maya is a vast and huge system with lots of abilities and features. This project was a challenge but was open for a huge amount of creativity that you can add on. These projects are very well done and I'm proud the castle i have made because it has a very interesting look and with a loyal but dark appeal. This castle took me a long time because i made sure that it is even and that the moat looks appropriate compared to the drawbridge and this project is a step to my career in animation and i look forward to creating more things with maya. I really like this castle because you could see how much realism there is and that it is a good and vibrant castle.
