Presentation

-
            This week in e9 the class practiced and learned new presentations skills. I learned that when presenting to a large group or business I should be dressed professionally. I should have a relaxed and friendly facial expression, as not to appear hostile to the audience. Depending on the size of the audience I should speak with a loud and clear voice while maintaining a pleasant and friendly tone. While presenting I should also stand tall and maintain good posture instead of slouching.

While I was absent my class watched 3 Ted presentations featuring Bill Gates, Bjorn Lomberg and Jamie Oliver. The class carefully observed each speakers posture, eye contact, voice level and tone. They class decided who they believed was the best presenter, the worst presenter and the most neutral presenter.
                     

            Thursday the class presented their first sketchbook assignment and blog to their classmates. Each student presented different reasoning as to why they chose to sketch what they did and whether or not they used color. I was the last person to present. I explained why I only drew logos of superheroes and organizations. I also explained why I didn’t use any color and only used pencil. I was nervous and made the mistake of speaking to quickly as well as the mistake of avoiding eye contact with the class.

Professional Article Review

Write a summary of the article, identifying the three key points. A new software makes animation easier through the use of MoCurves. MoCurves allow multiple parts of a model to be accelerated and decelerated in real time. Discuss the author’s argument. The author has come to the conclusion that MoCurves will eventually replace key frames and become the standard for most animation studios. Due to the unique function of MoCurves, which can transform multiple motion cycles at once unlike key frames which, despite their accuracy, can only transform motion cycles separately. What information/evidence and sources does he/she use to support that argument? The author provides a video explaining how key frames work and how MoCurves are superior to them. They also provide a brief summary of a study performed with 5 students without any experience with animation software to prove the superiority of MoCurves over key frames. What are the article’s/author’s strengths and

My Personality Type

ISTP Personality Type In e9 we took multiple versions of the Myers-Briggs personality test. In all versions of the test that I had taken I was an ISTP. An ISTP is someone who is observant and has an understanding of mechanics. ISTP types are also good at responding to emergencies and are attentive to detail and responsive to the world around them. A famous person who shares my personality type is Stanley Kubrick, a filmmaker. Does it match? I don't really think the ISTP matches my personality. I'm not very observant of the world around me. While I am reserved I am also withdrawn. I'm also not adaptable or independent. Often I rely on other people. During emergencies I tend to panic rather than keep my cool and deal with it. I don't think my personality type explains why I am the way I am or why I gravitate toward certain activities over others. Does my personality type explain aspects of myself? My personality type does explain why I've preferred to work

ABC Sequence

The assignment was to create a video focusing on the sequence of a video. The project required multiple shots to make any jump cuts less noticeable. We began the project by making a storyboard. The storyboard took a few attempts because we had to add pictures and redraw the story board. Next we checked out the necessary equipment and began filming. Filming the video took many attempts because there were many teachers and other students constantly walking by during the video. We also had to improvise some of the shots taken due to complications. Complications such as the front doors of the school having an alarm system that goes off if they're propped open for too long. Finally after taking all the necessary shots my partner and I downloaded our videos and began the process of editing our videos. I learned that taking the same shot over and over from different angles can greatly improve a video. The removal of jump cuts can also improve a video by making the progression of a video
