Personal Website

In this assignment I was suppose to make a website about a topic that interests me and include several things. The process I used to make this site was I first found a topic that interested me and made the site layout. I next looked up information about the topic I chose and put the things I found important into my site. I this project I learned how to find information for a site instead of having it given to me. If I was to do this differently I would of had more info about the history because I spent too much time on making the site look nice. If I was to do something the same it would be to have the navigation at the top because it takes up less space and lets you focus on the content. Some experiences I will draw from this project is project management and not focusing on one part of the project and forgetting the other. I really enjoyed this project because it taught me how to find information  about topic and that I can make a site without having someone tell me what to ...

Project Reflection

In this project I learned how to extrude and to boolean. I learned this by making the towers and walls of the castle. I picked this project because it was very enjoyable to make and it turned out great. My greatest strength in this project was having the knowledge of how castles look. I will apply what I have learned to other projects. If I was to change something I would get better textures. I really enjoyed this project and I would recommend this to anyone interested in starting animation. In this project I learned how to make everyday items out of basic shapes. The hammer was made out of a cube and the nails were made out of cilenders. I picked this project because the skills I learned in this helped me in other projects.  My greatest strength was the ability to make the box with a clear film because we had not learned that before. In this project I learned how to take circles and use the loft tool to connect them into different shapes. I picked this project because ...

Professional Article Review

Article: Why Should 2D Animation Be Abandoned?      In this article the author claims that people believe that 2D animation is dead because of three main reasons. They say that 3D animation is easier, computers can add more detail, and that computers make better quality work. The author supports his claim by quoting animators and looking a examples of the processes of each. This author does a great job of showing both sides and explaining why he is correct. What the author does poorly is having more opinions than just his own. He concludes that 3D animation is better in all these situations. I thought that overall this was a good article and that the evidence was convincing. There was one part that confused me and that was the word "Subtlety" I had to look it up because it had no context. This article was very interesting and makes me want to read the part two. Part 2: Why Should 2D Animation Be Abandoned?(part 2)

Professional Project Review

This project is a CGI animation made by SoySauce Squad. This animation has a great story and amazing modeling. The story that is told is of a mother who gets sucked into her son's video game and the son has to beat the game for her to get out. One element I would like to apply to my work is the idea of having every part of my animation have the same style. One thing I have already learned that is in this project is the multiple camera shots. The creator did a good job of conveying a story in a short amount of time. This work could be improved by giveing more background on the story like where the father is. Overall I really enjoyed this animation and think that the creator did a great job.  

2D Story Animation

The process of making this animation was quite simple. I watched other peoples animations to get ideas, then wrote out a plot line and moved to animation. Wile animating with After Effects I learned how to make the key look like it is rotating. If I was to change something about this project I wold have the windows in the background move because it would look more realistic. If I was to do it again I would still keep the story because it has a good plot. I will take away from this project the idea of giving every animation a kind of story and not just doing a project to do it. Overall I enjoyed this project and would do it again.
