The Process

First we learned about the first of twelve principals of animation, squash and stretch. Next we learned more about Photoshop .5 discovering different features including the timeline and different mac key shortcuts including shift+option+X which would be used to repeatedly undo mistakes or the shift and right mouse click used to select frames and objects in layers. Afterwords we experimented with colors and granite's with the sky, ground and ball. Next we made several of the same frame ball frame. we changed the ball positions and applied squash and stretch. We finished the animation by moving the frames into a time line and changed the number of frames until we were satisfied with the final product.

What I Learned

In animation we began learning about and applying the twelve principals of animation. The first principal of animation was squash and stretch. We learned squash and stretch is used to emphasize an objects speed, momentum, weight and mass. The more squash and stretch added to an object implies the object is soft. If the opposite were applied the object would be stiffer. squash and stretch can be applied to faces characters and objects. We learned how to save animations pictures and logos on Photoshop.5 through export for web. we learned more keyboard shortcuts and menu options.


What I Plan to do Next Time

Next time i plan to experiment more with frames and the speed of the animation. The animation I had made wasn't as fast as i'd wanted it to be. I also want to experiment more with granites to see if I can make the granite look more natural. Next time I plan on using the circle of white more often to give off the illusion of light and to make the object appear 3-D.

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
