Project(animation)


    In exploring animation we have been working on animations that were supposed to have three scenes, a walk cycle and more, and it is supposed to be able to tell a story. Now I started with a story board, and I accidentally threw it away during cleaning, so I will just have to explain it to you. In my first panel I had a knight who is running towards a cave. He then arrives at the cave and enters it. After he enters it a Dragon rises up and then blows fire. The scene then cuts to black and the knight is leaving the cave with gold in a bag heading home. Now in the final it did change image wise, but it was for the better, as the dragon has a better feel than the one in the story board.  After I had finished the story board I worked on images.  Some of the images aren't finished because the finals are on a flash drive at home.
    First I have a knight, who is the main character, and each limb is movable. 
   Then I have the dragon, but he is only wireframe because the final is on the drive. His head and neck are the only separate parts.

    Next is the landscape and cave, unfinished because the finals are on a drive, but each layer is movable in the landscape and only the stalagmites are movable in the cave. 
   Once I got the images done, the rest was pretty easy. I did have some problems along the way with the walk cycle so he seems to sort of gallop, but I had to redo it six times and it was due so when I redo it I will have to fix it. When I moved the images from photoshop to after effects, it allowed me to move them easily and such which really helped, so I didn't have to remake each frame by hand. I also put it into premier pro to put the scenes together as well as add sound. 
     Im happy with how it turned out but it could be better art and better mechanics, if I had more time I could make something better, but for the time I had, i like it and enjoy it. I will use my experience of walk cycles now towards my next project.
    Overall I'm happy with how it turned out, but I can't wait to do a new one so I can use some of my refined skills as well as do more appeasing art.

                                       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...

Social Media Posts and the Effect

      In our e-comm class we have started a new quarter. In this quarter which is quarter 2, we are jumping into animation. I am super excited. I love animation and cant wait to get started. So from now on expect posts about animations and relating topics. Now lets move on to the reason I decided to post today, or more of was forced to post by the school district. I posted because of our activities yesterday.                     What we did and how it works       Yesterday we met in the ravens nest to discuss the new quarter and what we are going to be doing, in this process we had to do an activity about social media and how our posts can affect our future. This is talking about the fact that colleges before accepting you check your social media and everything thats on it, good or bad. The posts can affect what colleges accept you. They see the bad things on your social media and may not think that you a...

The Plausible impossible

Image
    In the world of animation, there is the power to make impossible things seem very plausible. This affect is achieved by taking real world scenes and possibly scenarios and then applying unreal scenarios to them. I will explain this by using the The Mountain, by Disney studios. In this film it takes a plausible scene, such as a mountain town, and adds a very impossible theme such as gouls. In this scene you notice one blaring thing first. The noose. The noose shows that this scene is taking place in around the 1800's and based upon the town itself it is the late 1800's after the first industrial revolution.  So that shows that it is a very plausible place an time, but thats when you notice the impossible. The ghosts flying around in the scene are not realistic at all.  In the next scene you can observe the plausible first, which is the night evening with a gentle breeze, which is likely as well as realistic. Then you can notice the ghosts riding what appea...
