  • What was the scope of the project?

The project was to create a multi plane animation based on in class examples and of other students.

  • What was your process (speak to Pre-Production...idea, concepting, storyboards, etc.; Production...the actual creation; Post-Production...editing).
First I decided to make a multi plane animation based on my character from the character walk cycle project. I looked through images online and based my first attempt on a candy land like landscape. After a few days I chose to restart and based my second multi plane attempt based on a horror game landscape instead. I used the mixer brush to create a dull brown orange and blue color for the sky. For the grass i picked three colors from a reference photo of the horror game. Afterwards I dragged each layer and render the entire project.
  • What did you learn along the way?

I learned how to use the mixer brush tool to make interesting colors and minor blurred effects to resemble clouds. I learned how to make a multi plane animation using Adobe premiere and how to make the layers for a multiplayer animation. I also learned how to ask my more experienced peers for help and clarification

  • What would you do different? Why?
Next time I would as for clarification on the directions and the project overall. I would also rely more on my instincts rather than doubt myself. By not asking for clarification I had to try making the multiplane animation twice.
  • What would you do the same? Why?
I would keep the second attempt the same because I liked how the second attempt looked as a finished product compared to the first attempt.
  • What experiences will you draw from to enhance your next project?
In the future I will take better notes for future refrence and ask for help from my peers.
  • General thoughts & conclusions.

I liked the second attempt of the multi plane animation and creating the background with the mixer brush.

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
