Professional Project Review Post

   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. National geographic used it in a TV series, so he got definite recognition for it.
    This model not only is amazing but it also tells a story. It tells the story of a Gorgosaurus who worked so hard to make it through childhood in an era where surviving was extremely difficult, and only the strong survived. This beast was strong enough to make it through and became one of the top predators, but he got into a scuffle with another living fossil and got the short end of the stick in a battle, sustaining injuries such as a broken leg and flesh wounds, but escaped with his life. Unfortunately in this age, having a broken leg and open wounds like that is a death sentence due to preditation, as well as infection.
   There is a lot of aspects used in this project that I have used, but there isa also lots of aspects that I have yet to learn, and am looking forward to it.
    Overall it is a great piece and I really don't have any critique. Go check it out and the rest of his work at the hyperlink previously mentioned.

                                       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...
