Video Production Overview

Image
    Throughput my year so far in video, I have had truly a great time. I really enjoy the editing process of videos and plan on making some fun shorts in my own time. During my time in my class I have learned many things, and this is shown through my works, that I will be going over.     First Video we did was a PSA about a subject. I chose the subject of pushing in your chairs, and here was the result.     Overall it is a funny enjoyable video. It was fun to make and was a good introduction into the class. There was still flaws though that needed to be worked out while filming, such as camera angles and certain shots. There could have also been a better production value, and work on jump cuts. Although there were problems, it was my first project and it taught me a lot about shooting and editing. In the end it only took a day to create, so if I were to go back and re do it, I could do it better.     The next project I want to talk about is m...

Animation overview

    Throughout my semester in animation, I have learned many things and gone through some interesting things in the process. Overall I have enjoyed it and in this blog I will be going through some of my favorite projects and talking about them.     The first one I want to talk about is my castle.     I really enjoyed this project as a whole, because it was the first time that I really dwelled into the 3D aspect of animation. Although it wasn't an animation necessarily, it was still lots if fun and would later help with my actual 3D animation. Overall it was fun and taught me about divisions and the basics of 3D modeling. If I could change anything then I would add more, like a tree and also a draw bridge. In the end I don't think I will forget this project because all it taught me about 3D modeling.     My next project is my walk cycle.     This animation really taught me a lot of important aspects in 2D animation. I really enj...

Professional Project Review Post

Image
   There are many talented people in the world who tend to make their work visible to the public. My task for this blog was to find one of these people and take what they are working on and review it. For this blog in particular I have chosen Vlad Konstantinos as my subject.  He does a lot of great 3D work, but I am focusing on his Gorgosaurus 3D model.     The scope/ explanation of this project is pretty self explanatory, It is really a model of a Gorgosaurus, now there is some interesting things about the model though. It is very well done with a high attention to detail, plus the dinosaur has battle wounds that are very well done and anatomically calculated. In his post, which can be found here , he shows the beast in multiple colored forms also. He shows it in a sort of green/ grey coloration, as well as a red/ grey coloration. He also has the model form of it without any color added. All in all it is truly an amazing project with attention to detail. ...
