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 into a video of mine, it would be the animation. I don't really think it could improve much, it already is a classic and can be seen all over, if you look enough. Over all its a great film and great song, and I recommend checking it out.

                                       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...
