Screen Shot 12/20

 

This is still very much a formal design, I added some wood textures to the cabinet doors and counters. I've also added doorknobs, a stove, whisk, tongs, microwave, and the smoke overhang. Where all made by me. Hoping to add some more textures and more objects to go onto the tables over break!!

screenshots

My Pendulum is not textured yet, but I'm making the setting and objects that go into my scene, which is going to be full of kitchenware, this is unbalanced but the camera will be between the sinks so then it will be a formal balance.

 

Proposal

 I think I might do the kitchen, scene because I love the location of the scene. Also, do this all the time in my kitchen so if I need a real-life visual it's right in my house. his reminds me of our donut project in 3d design where it was a kitchen scene but this time it's on a kitchen counter. Instead of the pendulum, would use a spatula on a hook. The implication is that the spatula was just put on the hook so it still has momentum. I've done this before so I know this is how it looks like when I put it on the wall/hook. Most likely it will be a more balance since the scenery will be more symatrical.

The 3 Videos

Spellbound
  

1. At 1:11 you can see their rooms clearly and one side is very different from the other. Sunny's side is all happy and loving, while Rene has a more moody and dark atmosphere. You can see the contrasts of their personality and love for each other.
2. 1:43-1:45 You can see the lighting change from a warmer colored room rolling up to be a cooler room which can indicate coldness usually in shows if the lighting or color change it shifts in emotion and the viewer usually thinks something bad is happening
3. 1:53 shows that her haterade has grown and became something bigger than her which is shown by the scale of her a little girl and this big monster.
4. 0:23-0:28 they repeated a lot of the same models and the words "I hate you" to show that she was always in second place and really emphasized how her sister was better than her and how much she hated her. 

The Little Shoemaker

1. 0:30 is an establishing shot, it's showing our scene and where this animated short is going to take place.
2. 1:08 is an extreme close up shot of the character of his face so we can see clearly what our antagonist looks like.
3. 1:33 is an over the shoulder shot that shows what the salesman is showing off and trying to get more customers on his side with sales.
4. 3:39 is a POV shot of the salesman looking at his watch waiting for his contract to be signed so he can have his little shoe shop. It's the best for the effect of impatient waiting.

Destiny

1. At 1:45 we had a quick pan revealing the other character and the clip we saw before of him fixing the pendulum. This tells us that what we saw was right and our main character could not see his dead self.
2. 3:48-3:50 is either a pan or a dolly but I believe it's a dolly since it really gives the change of emotions we needed. Throughout this whole entire bit we've been stress and overwhelmed with the fact that he's not able to change his destiny, but after we got the clock hit it panned over to him and we see that he is relieved
3.  4:45 At the very end of this short they do a crane up to show that our main character is a small part of his big world revealing his house as a whole.

Camera Angles

Crane Shots

Crane Down - Makes the viewer seem like they're in the character's story and gets the feel of the scene.

Crane Up -  Lets the viewers see how big the character's world is and how large their obstacle is.

Crane High to Low - Makes the character looks strong and full of fear.

Pans and Hand Held

Hand-Held -  Shakey movement gives the feelings of uneasy and danger

Quick Pan - Changes the emotion of the scene almost at once, reveals something dangerous. 

Quick Push-in - Creates shock

Dolly

Slow Dolly in -  Creates tension, can make us feel either uncomfortable or emotional with them

Slow Dolly out -  Emotion of loss and abandonment, makes the emotion of empathy

Dolly Across -  Reveals action that changes the emotion.

Zolly (Zoom with Dolly) - Overwhelming emotional feeling, Like something is about to blow your mind or it already happened. 

Glides

Glide Cam  -  Makes the feeling more dreamlike and floaty feel.

Hand-Held - Makes the seen more shakey unlike the glide it makes it feel uneasy and dangerous, edgy and stressful

360 - Calm before the storm feeling, like something, is coming

 

Timing and Spacing Reel

I learned about how to draw when an object is moving and how the circles need to be close together when it's getting faster and they are more spaced apart when it's slower. I also learned how to edit and render animations.

Resolution

 Not the new years kind of resolution

Pendulum

 

hi :D

Bounce Bounce

 

The interpolation mode relates to easing by making our ball look more real and less robotic as it bounces up and down. There you can see clearly is air time and the time it reacts to bounce back up.

Penny

 

The interpolation mode is a mode where you can choose how your object moves like, Linear is like a robot and bezier makes it so you can move and the speed of it. It helps if you want your object to have a quick start and slow finish and vice versa.... you can make the speed of the entrance and exit however fast you want.

HIstory of anime and manga

 Manga is a Japanese comic book or graphic novel and it can be found way back to the 12th century. Unlike Western comics which is read from left to right, the manga is read from right to left. During the Edo period of Japan, Toba Ehon made the concept of manga, and then in 1789, the word manga was used as a common word. The first picture book was made by an author Santo Kyoden called Shiji no Yukikai,

After WW2 a lot of books and novels were prohibited from making war-like concepts, but for some reason, manga really wasn't affected by this. Soon this reason was the reason why people started to really get into their own works made artistic creative skyrocket,. One of the results from this era is a manga by Osamu Tezuka called 鉄腕アトム (Hepburn: Tetsuwan Atomu) also known as Astro Boy here in the U.S. I've read this manga myself and watched the anime from it and I love it dearly.  https://soranews24.com/2014/11/14/animes-tetsuwan-atomastro-boy-shows-up-on-a-pedestrian-walk-signal-in-japan/

Now anime was made in the 20th century and anime is derived from manga, novels, or video games! The word anime is just the word for animation in Japanese so anime basically means Japanese animation. Animation started in Japan in the 20th century influenced by Western animation like movies from Disney. The earliest claim for Japanese animation was “Katsudō Shashin” which means motion picture. It was a 3-second film slip of a boy removing his red hat. Anime back in the 1900s were mostly little short videos telling Japanese folktales or little stories the animators came up with, not what we know today as the big eyes and multi-colored hair characters we know today. Another one of the oldest anime is ” Namakura Gatana”, this is still very short but it showed the technique and styles of the animators. Just as things were looking up there was a massive earthquake in 1923 that destroyed a lot of animation studios and setback development. Then Japan felt as if they needed to catch up since around the early 1900s Disney was booming which then led to people in Japan using Cel animation which made the quality of the animations go up. These videos were made mostly for propaganda but then in 1948 a studio called Japanese animation was made but they didn’t stay like that for long they were bought by Toei which then they were known as Toei animation which is still here today. They made a fully colored animation called the White Serpent! Soon Japan was getting recognition and anime was starting to air in Japan and somewhere even brought overseas! There are a few theories of what the Lion King was about and there is an anime made in 1965 called Kimba the White Lion which has very similar aspects to the Lion King it was made a full 29 years before Lion King came out. In the 1960s there were a few animes that came out which would be known as the inspiration for what words that were used today to talk about anime such as Mecha which is what we would know as transformers or robot-like animes and magical girl animes which would be in close relation with Power Rangers but it’s only girls fighting evil. These shows are Sally the Witch (1966) which is considered the first Shojo

(a name for a genre targeted for young women) and Astro Boy. Fastwarding to the 1980s a very will known studio today was made called Studio Ghibli bringing us the great works of My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away. But these were not the first ones of it’s kind. Studio Ghibli’s first animated film was Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind it was a huge success in Japan. My personal favorite from Studio Ghibli is

Howl’s Moving Castle I think the animation and storytelling are magnificent and I love the use of colors in this movie. In the 1990s anime industry tries to make a lot of their money back since there were many flops in the 1980s. They went into a massive decline and movies and shows like Ghost in a Shell and Evangelion really saved the industry. A year after those two the famous show Sailor Moon came out in 1996 which was loved by many around the world. The infamous show Pokemon also came out a year after Sailor Moon in 1997. Moving to the 2000s lots of shows such as One Piece, Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and Bleach became super influential to this generation since there is now the internet for many people to talk about. These shows are called Shonen (targeted towards young boys)

My favorite show of this time is Inuyasha about a girl who traveled back to 100 years ago and has to travel around to find pieces of a pearl with a hybrid dog man.

It was super successful but since it’s passed it’s time and it ended it stopped being talked about. As a person who’s been watching anime since they were born anime has become a lot more popular and mainstream as of quarantine since Netflix and other streaming services lately have been putting shows on their Library. The industry has changed a lot from the art styles to their targeted audience. My personal favorite animation studio is Kyoto animation since they focus on their backgrounds and nature aspect and I love a lot of shows from that studio.

I recommend this show called Violet Evergarden (it's on Netflix)since it's a really good show that will definitely make you cry and the art is just so beautiful and every color on the screen just fits in place. Even if you don't watch it comment on the trailer for it :D

End of the Year post

End of the Year Post!

What was your favorite part of the class this year? 

My favorite part of this class was definitely the ability to print 3D things and learn how to model characters.

What have you learned the most about?

I learned the most about making food models, hehe. I had a lot of fun with learning this too since I now know how to texture the food!

What didn't you like so much?

I personally had a really good time in this class, I guess the only thing I didn't like is that printing was slow-paced and the technology was wonky at times, but there is nothing we can do about that.

Thank you for a wonderful school year!!

Craters on the Moon

This moon looks a lot more complicated than it looks.

Fountain and A treasure chest

The fountain was to work on how to align things and I felt like that was not enough work, so I worked on a time capsule but I turned it into a treasure chest.

My Ballooned Powered Car!

This is my balloon-powered car! Although it looks simple I had trouble making the

inside airpipes look right decent.

Rome Building!

This is my Work on tinkercad! I wouldn’t let me sign in with my username so I used my school account! I learned how to align thinks and make the center on each other so I’m fairly pleased!

An Attempt Was Made

As the title said I truely tried. I couldn’t figure how to make the egg more flat one side so I used a sphere instead

Character Modeling

I personally really want to do character modeling. Although learning how to model curves might help me, but I just really like working with models and characters.

Pow Loly Car :D

Vroom Vroom talk about low poly. This car is still running though.

Hard Surface Examples

These are ten examples of 3D hard surface modeling. I think that 3D hard surface modeling is things that are somewhat metallic. Things that would hard to bend unless it's exposed to heat. Everything seems futuristic and sci-fi-like. They're things like propers and unliving things than living people or animals.

Bust on a Block

hi lol

Wow I look great

Mee by Tina on Sketchfab

Finished Food Project

Long View

Bird-eye View

Eye Level

Extreme Closeup

Medium Shot

The hardest part for me was most definitely the texturing. I couldn’t find a single good bread texture so I had to make my own. Which I use PS and a nice bread image I found online. Making the teapot wasn’t easy either since I couldn’t get it to round out at a point. But I really liked how this turned out and I love the pudding on the table.
