The Bouncing Ball

Animation
  In class we have learned about squash and stretch and ease in and ease out. You can See the squash and stretch by how the ball squashes as it lands an then stretches as it goes up and down. This also helps demonstrate speed and the affect of speed. The ease in and ease out also comes into play when the ball picks up speed and then is stopped by the ground and then reflects. I have attached the animation for you to see. The only thing about it is that its slowed down a little. This helps you see the transitions.

     I have attached some videos to help you understand how this animation works.

                                       Personal Logo      In our e-communications class we have been working on personal logos for an imaginary company. Due to the fact that my name is Mayo, I chose to do a logo for a mayonnaise company. I decided to go very simplistic with something that is creative but yet recognizable. After some brainstorming I had come up with about 30 designs. I finally settled on one and got going. Its a simple M in a cursive font surrounded by a blue circle.  Here is a picture.      As you also notice it does have a black outer rimming around the circle. I decided to not go with a completely white m due to the fact that if it was on a completely white background it wouldn't show up. So the m is more grayish than white.  You may also notice that it has a light blue background,you may be asking yourself, what is the reas...

Take on me by Aha Professional Blog post review

    The music video Take On Me by the band A-ha, is a very well done video as a whole. It is a video about a woman who is in a coffee shop reading a comic. She starts to notice how the comic is coming to life. A hand comes out of the comic book and reaches towards her. She takes it and is whisked away into the comic book world, and embarks on a journey with the lead singer. During this time they are animated and try to escape the men chasing them. I don't want to give away the whole story so i recommend watching it here . It is truly a great work, using the combination of tons of different shots to really tell a story. There is documented shots throughout it, but the main shot tends to be a mid shot or closeup, which works well with the story. One off the most interesting thing about this work is there fact that a majority of it is hand drawn animation. This aspect of the animation allows it to really take off as a unique work. If I could integrate any thing from this video in...

This semester in animation I have worked with two things. first a bit of 3D animation then I transitioned over to more of 2D animation, mainly rotoscoping. In 3D animation we messed with mainly skeleton structures, so that way we could bring the creation to life with better movements than before. With rotoscoping I also worked on improving my skills with hat. With my first project being mediocre and then improving a bit with the second project. Here are the three projects I've done this semester and their descriptions.     The shark animation In this animation I used the skeleton structures to create a better moving shark than was possible without using it. It was a pretty easy process, however there was a bit of a struggle mapping out the points so that way they did not become affected through other points. This meant going into the program and messing with the streets of the joints affected movement of area. This took some time, however it helped me learn a lot and I feel...
