There are these sunglasses that can help colorblind people see..well, colors A LOT BETTER! O: How awesome is that?!
I didn't know that:
These sunglasses could also help people who are NOT colorblind see colors better as well!
These things are so expensive! $600 at most!
They charge more for people who ARE colorblind that buy these glasses! how ridiculous!
I think this article was really awesome! I think it's great that people are trying to help colorblind people see colors better than they could. Although, I do think it's kind of ridiculous that this company is charging more for those who buy the glasses that are colorblind.
My one question is will there be certain circumstances that these glasses can work? (weather, season, etc.)
There was an article about a director named Barry Levinson and how exactly he produced the horror film "The Bay." Quite interesting! This guy found footage from phones, webcams, and actors in order to create this movie!
I didn't know:
who Barry Levinson was...awk
he had actors also film themselves with cameras to create "footage."
Levinson was inspired by Chesapeake Bay's pollution to create this movie.
I thought this article was interesting to read. I think this is a very creative approach to a film like this. I also think that it's nice to see a change of layout in this film.
My one question is will the film be choppy if it is using various sources of footage?
This week was pretty good actually!! We worked on our 2d Shorts this whole week and are due on Wednesday. Ojeez..
I learned that frame-by-frame takes A LOT of patience, but I think it'll be worth it in the end when it comes to my 2d short. I'm excited to finish it c:
What really made me happy this week was the fact that we WERE ABLE TO WORK UNTIL 7 PM ON OPEN HOUSE NIGHT YES. I got 2 daysworth of work done in one day! :D
I also was able to reunite with Enya!! I love her!!
What frustrated me this week was trying to balance swimming with Animation and school. I think I'm still trying to find a good balance here, but it'll take some time, BUT I SHAN'T GIVE UP.
Apparently, voice actors are stepping into the spotlight like they deserve. FINALLY. I love voice actors. They have my upmost respect and admiration! c:
I didn't know that:
The respect level for voice acting is increasing!
Voice acting makes older audiences curious.
America is starting to see how big of a deal voice-acting REALLY is.
I was proud to see this article! I think it's awesome that voice actors are FINALLY getting the credit and attention they deserve! I also think that voice actors really add to the media they voice for! I'm excited for these people who work so hard to do this kind of thing!!
My one question is why have voice actors been underrated for so long until now??
Recently, Disney had purchased Lucasfilm, which is quite questionable if you ask me.
So what does this mean? Will there be a film with creepy monsters walking aroung an "enchanted, majestic ball" in high heels and frumpy gowns, or will there be something more profound than that? o:
I didn't know that:
George Lucas is now the wealthiest artist in the United States.
Lucas is a philantjhropist! Awesome~~~
Disney will now be creating Star Wars films later in the future with the studios Lucasfilm owns in terms of effects and such.
This article was interesting. I think it's kind of cool that Disney and Lucasfilm will be working together to produce more Star Wars films. I also think it it kind of weord that sich diverse companies would join forces like this.
My one question is will this enhance the Star Wars franchise's reputation, or will it lead to people forgetting what Star Wars has been about for the last 30-something years?
This week was THE WEEK FROM HELL
Ok, first off, swimming started on Monday and I'm wicked exhausted. D:
Second, I missed the bus to BOCES yesterday because I was finishing up a test. And by finishing, I mean not really finishing. I rushed to get out of class and get to the bus. THANK GOODNESS my dad happened to be at the school when I called him. He gave me a ride and I made it on time. NOW I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY MATH BINDER IS. AWESOME.
So yeah, to recap, what frustrated me this week was everything I previously stated: Swimming, missing the bus, misplacing stuff, blah blah BLAH.
Hopefully next week will be much better than this week. :I
On the other hand what made me happy was the science news critique. I appreciate the feedback form my friends. c: I was happy with how my project turned out. What also made me happy this week was how much progress I'm making on my 2d short~~
Can't wait to see how it'll look when it's done!!
This week I learned about rotoscoping. Can't wait to draw stuff frame-by-frame. >:3
I really want to learn how to do 3d animation. Think it might be pretty cool~~
I hope you guys have a good long weekend!!!
Pip-pip-da-doodalee-do~~
This week was NOT BAD. NOT BAD AT ALL. Stressful, YES. Bad, not entirely...
The hurricane did give me a scare for sure, not for western New York, but for my family who lives in New Jersey, Delaware and on Long Island. I'm so glad they're safe!!
I think what made me happy this week was starting my 2d Short. I EMBRACE THEE, FLASH MADNESS. <3 I also enjoyed the Logo Critique! c: I appreciate the feedback from my friends, and it'll surely help me in the future!!
What frustrated me this week was how much went on during BOCES this week. I felt bad that I didn't come on Tuesday, and playing catch-up the day after was kind of crazy xD
I really want to learn how to do 3d animation! I think that'll be fun c:
