Filmmaking Tips

Ok, so I read the filmmaking tips article! I was really intrigued by it!!

In terms of this article, I didn't even know:

• Who Christopher Nolan was...awk
• When writing a movie, it must be interesting, and not always simple!
• That loving movies can make a HUGE difference in terms of filmmaking!

In my opinion, I would love to sit down with the writers of a film to see how and when they come up with such vibrant ideas. I also think that filmmaking can sometimes be underestimated and that it's just more than making a great movie, it comes from somewhere else as well.

My one question is how can someone have such patience with such a huge crew working with you and would there be a lot of clashing ideas on set? It'd probably be like a jacked up version of Jersey Shore xD

3D-Ness

Ok, so the article about 3d movies really captured my interest! Personally, I LOVE Finding Nemo!!!


I learned that 3d movies are UBER expensive to create!! Holy cow! $15 million dollars?! That's crazy!
I also learned that 3d is used to make up for a movie's shortcomings.
I also learned that STAR WARS is going to be 3d!


In my opinion, I'm extremely HAPPY that Pixar has a 3d adaptation of Finding Nemo!! I also am disappointed that 3d movies aren't that popular among some people. But hey, coffee tastes different for each person I guess. :P

My one question is how long do these 3d film adaptations take to make??

Weekly Update

This week was fun!
I FINALLY finished my Illustrator character! Soon enough I'm going to do another, and another, and another
;D

This week we learned how to use Adobe flash, and

OH.

MY.

GLOB.

SO. TEDIOUS.

I enjoy using it though. Soon enough we'll be animating!! :'D

What also frustrated me this week was how I did on my Club Fuse Ads ;___; I got a 78 and then an 80 on another, which isn't awful. I just wish I could've done better. Oh well! I did well on the other Ads though so no biggie~~~!

What made me happy was making our houses on Flash, AND finishing my character. 'Sall good man.

xD

Robot with Feelings

This article talks about a robot known as Nexi, who can express feelings and/or gestures. The things I learned form this article are:

• Touching your face and crossing your arms can make people see your bad intentions.
• There are certain gestures that can show how you're feeling to others.
• People can also be affected by the gestures you do.

I really think this is a cool article. I think this is a huge step forward for technology and also exploring the human brain.

I also think that it is intriguing that this team was able to make a ROBOT have feelings or certain expressions that humans perform. It's very exciting!!

I do have one question.

Could this experiment lead to a new, unknown era for technology?

3d Printers

Ok, so I read the Huffington Post article on 3d scanners and I must say, THIS is really cool!
In terms of what I didn't know before reading the article, I didn't know that:

• There were such things as 3d printers! I had no idea that they existed. I was TOTALLY unaware.
• They are so popular among customers and that by 2007, over 80,000 3d printers had been sold! That's unbelievable!
• These 3d printers were capable of copying such robust things, such as keychains and game board pieces. That sure is handy!

In my opinion, this article is great. I find it so intriguing that there are printers that can copy 3d objects. If I had one of those printers, I'd never run out of sketchbooks! :)
I would definitely buy one, although they are somewhat expensive..

I also enjoy the fact that so many people make good use out of these printers! In my opinion, I think that having one of these printers would be worthwhile, especially around the holidays!

I do have one question though.

If you were to copy certain 3d items, would there be copyright issues involved? I'm just curious.

Digital Media :D

Wow, what a week! So much to do, so little time!

This week I learned about design principles and elements, using Adobe Illustrator, and we made flip books. We also learned how to use the scanner for Adobe Illustrator use!

:)

I really want to learn how to create 3d character models now! 2d was fun, but I want to see how 3d modeling is!
I also want to learn how to storyboard, which I'm excited about doing this year!!

The FLIP BOOK frustrated me. That was difficult!
I still can't believe how long it took me to do it..
Frame, after frame, after frame.
I was happy with how it turned out though!
Just the repetitive drawing was frustrating (haha)

What made me happy this week was doing characters on Illustrator. I'm truly happy with how my character looks! Everyone else's looks amazing as well! I feel so blessed to be around such a talented group of people! c:

I really like the animation in this video and I hope you guys do as well c:
I also am intrigued by the cohesiveness of the 3d video and the 2d animation. I just thought it was interesting! Plus, I like Sonic. :D

Happy Friday~~!

It's Friday~~~!!!

SO.

This week was a tough one, not just with BOCES, but also with school and home. So many emotions. LOL

I'm SUUPPPPEEERRR excited to be starting the 2d illustration project!

Hope everybody had an awesome week and will and enjoy a great weekend~~~!!
