Plausible Impossible



Plausible- This is plausible because reality you cannot actually go through a mirror. But you can touch it. The mirror does not also stretch in real life. 
Impossible- Mickey touches the mirror and discovers it is stretchy. He then goes into the mirror and comes out on the other side.


Plausible- This is plausible because mickey can jump on the chair but the chair would not react to him jumping on it. The chair will also not be alive in real life.
Impossible- This is impossible because a chair cannot be alive. It cannot also react the something sitting on it. Lastly a chair cannot have emotions.


Plausible- This is plausible because a nutcracker is actually supposed to crack a nut. But when a nutcracker cracks a nut it does not do it by itself and it does not then eat the nut. 
Impossible- This is impossible because a nutcracker is not alive. They do not also crack a nut by themselves and then after eat the nut. 


Plausible- This is plausible because the room can stay the same size but mickey is in no way plausible. His stomach and feet get very large.
Impossible- This is impossible because mickey cannot grow in size. He cannot also shrink down in size which he does after he gets larger.


Plausible- This is plausible because when you shuffle cards that is what they truley look like. The way the cards have the hearts and spades on them are also correct.
Impossible- This is impossible because cards are not alive. Mickey is also not able to bend and slim down into the size of a card. They cannot walk and shuffle themselves.

Mulitplane Animation


The Three Things i would have taken away from this was to make sure i got all of the white out of my film. To make the lines simpler and have no rugged edges. And lastly i think i should have put more of  my own drawings to make it more of my own.

The Chase



What did i learn? One of the first things i have learned is you have to keep your camera steady or your video will not look right. Another thing i learned is that i should remind the actors to wear the same clothes so the video looks consistent throughout.

What will i apply to my next project? I will keep the camera steady so the shot is not shaky. i will also concentrate on keeping consistency on my video.

How was Collaboration different? I think it was different first because i was working with two different people and the last two projects i only worked with 1 person. 

How could we improve collaboration in the next film? I think we could focus more on the film other than focusing on having fun because our grade is what really matters in the end. We should also focus on the shots more to make sure we get the required shots.

Character Animation Finalized

Critique: 
Two things the class said about my animation was my legs moved down but the rest of my body didn't, the other thing was i need to move my character up so it would walk behind the grass not over it. A positive thing they said about my animation was it walked smoothly across the screen.

Character Animation

What are 3 things i learned from making the character walk? I learned that if you want it to look like  a human walking then you need to use puppet pins to move and bend the legs. I  also learned that with keyframes you need to stagger them so the legs don't look like they are floating in mid air. lastly i learned that you need 3 keyframes in order to make the leg look "human".
What was one issue you had while trying to make you character walk? I had an issue with the legs walking together because they looked like they walked over one another.
If you could redo it would you change anything? I would change the way i drew the character because it looks rough and sketchy. I would also change the way it is colored in.
How do you feel about your work/animation? I feel like i did okay i could have definitly done better. 


What is My character? My character is based on the movies box trolls. It is a boy who has a boy body but for his shirt he wears a box over his body. 
What was my thought behind the character? I was trying to think of something unique to draw and thought of the movie.

Did you run into any troubles when making the character? I am not a good drawer so it was hard to make multiple parts in order for them to move properly.
Did you have any issues with the keyframe? I used help with Mr. Netterville so no i had no problems with the keyframes.
How did you create the keyframes? I first put puppet pins on my legs. After i arranged them i made them move by putting position down. Then i added to more keyframe that make it walk in a human like motion.

Acting Video




                                    
What i learned: I learned that the iris lens is very important to use in dark lighting and i need to focus my lens to have better quality with my shots.
What i will apply to my next project: I will do the iris lense and focus on my shots more in my next project.
Collaboration: It is the action of working well with others. I think Brooke and i worked well together because we got done on time and we both got along really nicely.

Inchworm Animation

In this animation i made a worm move up and down across the screen. I learned about the null object which helped my worm move across the screen. I also think i need to work on the way i moved my worm up and down.
