So this project was pretty fun because you had a lot of control on what you did. You didn’t have to do any filming, just voice acting. It was hard coming up with what you wanted to do but once you did it was pretty easy and fun.

SW BATTLE ON EARTH
The group Big OOF made this video. We got our inspiration from starwars, and we used John William’s music. We were going to make Episode 9, but The idea Battle on Earth came. And it feels a lot better. It feels like an action preview because of all of the motion cuts. Thanks to Dylan’s car and all other props we brought.
Camera Angles and Technique
In this assignment we learned how to use different camera angles to enhance our still frames and video. Most of these pictures are popular angles used in many movies.
Over the Shoulder: This photo shows a basic conversation from a third person perspective.
High Angle: This angle makes Spencer look scared, or vulnerable.
Extreme Long Shot: This camera angle helps give the setting of the conversation.
Long High Angle: This picture helps show how far apart Jayden is from the perspective
Extreme Closeup: Shows the worry, and distress in his eye.
30 Second AD
This is my ad for chair oil. To help your chair not squeak. I had the idea to do this because my chair always squeaks, and I know people would be interested in this product. Jayden helped me with the disclaimer at the end. And I made all the rest of the sounds.
UDMAF Competition Post
I was inspired to do this picture because I love having dramatic contrast. Using a bunch of different pictures to add the grainy texture. The picture was originally a bit blue, so I desaturated it, then added an orange photo filter to get the antique and old look i wanted. The only thing I would do different is getting a picture with a crow, or another darker bird in the tree. To add to the mysterious look.
Walking Animation w/ Motion Tween
One thing I really learned about this project is that you can do many things in black and white that are very interesting. You are able to put a lot more effort in your animation, but still make it seem pretty real. I had a ton of fun with this project, and having the walking animation loop added the ability to add the sun going at a slower speed. It gives the sense of depth with the sun going slower.
Walking Animation
I started with him standing then reviewed my walk, which allowed me to have perspective with my animation. After making the first two steps, i then got rid of the standing still frame, and replaced it with a moving frame. So that is how he loops over and over. I learned that each frame doesn’t need to be perfect, but continuing on and having confidence will help finish the project.
Movie Proposal
This is my movie inspiration. I like the dramatic lighting. It is the main reason why I have the faces standing out so much. Genre is Horror, title The Fun House, the tag line is Something is alive in the Fun house.
Horror, The Heart, Where is yours? The plot is of three kids devastated by a crazy killer. Stealing peoples hearts and selling them on the black market. Protect your heart. Or you might not have one. I would have three sketches but they all ended to this. The characters are Luke Astle as Luke, Brandon Coover as Vancoover, Nick Keller as Willy, Jeff as Dilan.
Space Assignment
In this assignment we were guided through the many powerful tools of photoshop to make a realistic space environment. Using pictures I took I was able to make planets that were unique and still be able to hold realistic value.
Photoshop Assignment 1
Stock image #1: This photo above had the hue and saturation raised really high, and I copied and pasted the tall building so there is 2 of them. Then I also crystallized all of the buildings and blurred it.
Stock Photo #2: So I added text, used the clone tool. Hue and saturation, and the last one is a filter affect.
Camera Photo #1: So I added text, changed the color of the mountain in the front. Then cloned the cliff to the right, and used the spot heal tool to clean it up a bit.
Camera Photo #2: This picture I brightened up the kiddos shirt a lot, and I enlarged my head. Using the face detection of photoshop I enlarged my eyes and made me frown. Then I took the rock out, but I didn’t know how to use the clone tool and the healing tool as well as I do now.
Camera Photo #3: I sharpened his face, blurred the background. Added a lens flare, and changed the color of his eyes.
Camera Photo #4: I used light levels and brought out the white of the water and darkened the dirt and stuff. I copied the rock, and enlarged another. And used the heal tool to clean it all.
