inch worm animation

           

over view of the project 

our in class projects was to animate a inch worm move across the screen just like a normal worm. what we first had to do was crate the sky, ground, and worm using adobe premier pro. then once we crated where down with things like shadows, gradients, and touchup spots we moved the premier pro files of the worm into adobe photoshop so that it can be animated. we learned how to use new tools like the puppet pin tool, keyframes, and the burn tool so that we could animate the worm. 

what I learned 

I kinda mentioned new things that I learned above like getting a better understanding of the keyframes, puppet tool, and burn tool sir that we could touchup spots on the worm and make it look more of a 3d shape than circles moving across a flat plane. I would say that the newest thing that I learned would be the puppet pin tool and I also think that it was the mot important tool during this entire animation.

                                             how it went 

I don't really know why but I had some trouble with this animation and I could not figure out why because I had to end up restarting the entire animation three times because adobe photoshop keeps on crashing. and the only other problem I ran into was the puppet pin tool was difficult and I did not like how to log during the animation but looks good at the end I guess. 

Bouncing ball

what was the project 

our class was to create a bouncing ball animation a using adobe after effects. what we first had to do was create the background, sky, grass, and a bouncing ball. we also made a project like this in e9 but this bonging ball was created in another adobe software and then moved int adobe after effects to be animated witch was very different and we had to learn allot of new things to help animate the ball look more realistic and bounce better.

things I learned 

some things that I learned while using adobe after effects where almost the entire animation because its a kinda new platform for me because I have never animated using adobe aftereffects. the biggest thing that I learned how to do was using the keyframes for rotation, shape, and time. these where important to learn because in the animation there are things like when the ball is going down and it has to rotate and move at the same time, so key frames are very important to learn in after effects.

how'd it go for me 

I think that my bouncing ball was really good because on day one we put together the ball on aftereffects and I thought that this was going to be a really weird looking animation and that mine was going to be bad compered to the other students but in the end mine was really good and I am happy with it. 

ONW procedures

            

ONW procedures 

Our group decided that we would make a procedures video that showed students that they should not line up at the door before the bell rings. we decided that we would make this procedures video to show other student that lining up at the door only saved 2 seconds at most. as a group we all gathered around each other and crated the story board, it was weird because all of us had the same idea planed out in our head to make a good video. 

crating the cast list was really easy because miles and I did not care what parts we got but mason wanted to be the camera man, that how we gout our cast. my role was an actor I guess because miles had the story board and I just did what he told me to. tenically I was kinda like the secondary camera man that would check to see if the camera was positioned for things like rule of thirds, six shot system, and not to cross the axis. I would say that I was very professional during this experience because whenever the group went to a moment of silence I would get the group talking again so that we could communicate better. I made sure to collaborate with my team members when we where making the story bored and casting a group. and also this was not a problem with the group because we all had food time management. 

I don't think that I would change anything because our group was really good at getting a good video on time and together.
