tristan my bud

me over the last year

Friday. what we have done so far and going to do.

at the start of filming:
at the start of filming at the student union, we never got any filming done on the first day. we changed the script so it would be better suited to our surroundings. so we scraped my script and scott made one for the next friday. i was meant to play k.d but i thought it would be a better idea if i worked the cameras instead as i wouldn't be there the next week and there for editing so olivia took my place as k.d and changed the name to olivia.

how we filmed:
we set up to cameras at different angles, put them both on record at the same time and stop at the very end of the scene so we could just cut out all mistakes when editing.

and today (what we will be doing):
today well will put the rest of the on the macs and start editing like mad, cut out  all out takes and put in the music that Alisteir edited and put what we have so far onto his hard drive and take it to animation so we can get the right feel if the title sequence is going to work out with the film, as so far the title sequence looks like at of an old film as it is very jumpy and black and white and at the end of it, it looks as if the old film has burned out. and i hope to see the footage i was not there to see.

today

today me and olivia, sat for 2 hours and redone the imovie project for team scott. we flip around the pictures so it would double back on its self, them redone it so it would repeat its self. we started to put in the cast, so far we have over 30 seconds of the tittle sequence.

also i started my costumer care so i could add to my CV, and start on my employment skills next week.

animation

frame rate - is how fast an image plays eg 0.50 seconds per frame.
onion skinning - an animated flip book, created by changeing the opasity so you could see the image underneth so each image is lined up just right
tweening - somthing from the lowest point and the highest point tweening is everything inbetween.

animation

i'm doing resourses for the animation, we thought about flip book but that would be over 2,000 sheets of card. printed off images ect...
instructions, to make a flip book. but not a good idea so we are changing the idea to something else.

todays filming

today we started filming.
we got the 2nd scene in the lab completed. and started in the student union, but then desided to changed to script i little because people being off has interfeard with our plans,.
i have tried out the zombie eye make up and was a sucsses.

animated films

Pixar film/ program

1. finding nemo i based on a dad who was the wrighter paying to much attenion on what was going around him and telling his son dont do this dont go near that instead on just spending the day having fun with his little boy. 
2. pot out line is just a cartoon 2D drawing story board of what the film will hopefully look like in the end of production.
3. A113 was there class room at cal arts uni and they didnt want that to die to they fix it into all there films someway or another
4. the little lap is the main way you know a film is made by Pixar
5. the little lap is about a dad or a mum playing with there son or little girl and there ball birsts but the child always finds something else to play with that ended up being a bigger ball.
6. monsters inc. mikes girlfriends nick name was smoochy poo
7. toy story nursary was called sunny side but how the toy acted was not so sunny.
8. the characters are made of clay then digitalised so they can move and have colour and texture added to them.
9. Music is an important past to the animation because it brings out emotions a lot stronger then the voice or face expresions
10. they sometimes use the same character voice in nearly all the films some small parts some larger parts.

stop motion animation

the fight
- strange but was good for the amount of time to be done in
-story line could have been better
- i liked it, for the strange was it was done.
- not everyday you see an sea horse and a crab get in a fight.

fuzzy felts
- it was a bit to fast
- was okay for the story line
-was way way to short it went by in a blur
- wasn't smooth enough
- could have doubled up the frames to make it smoother and last longer

devils cola
- it was our animation what you think im going to say but in all truth it was
     - the best story line
     - longest animation
     - more frames
     - was smooth because we doubled up the frames when taking the pictures

html

html is how a site is made
eg <b><u><i> hi how are you? <b\><u\><i\>
<b> = bold
<u> = underlined
<i> = italics
it is what makes the texts stand out and gives it colour and makes your backgroud eyes catching

how to make a film

stop motion day

we had got little movable stick figures and made a small 5 second film.
127 frames had been taken
it is called the devils cola

my pool table

it took weeks to create this animation on a pool table first in a paper form which took 3 week. 24 frames where needed to make the illusion of the picture moving and not single frames. this computer animated one took 3 hours to complete, which is a lot less time than the 6-8 hours for the paper one.    

today

today we filled olivia in on what was going on so far and what we hoped to attcheve in he next couple of weeks.
we have downloaded the play list for the eps.1 and 2
got more ideas for what the zombies will look like.
got more scripts as people keep forgetting there own and they will stay in the folder .


we all had looked at different animated and edited videos, such as adverts and random things people made and put on youtube, some were not the best but everyone has there own opinion.

Mick gives a quick smile at nick. K.D was looking down at the table while she was holding the gun to Nicks Head.

Nick - "okay. it doesn't matter about the money"
K.D - "you have already peeved me off. a poor attempt of an apology isn't going to make a difference" (K.D moves the gun and places it on the table and takes the last sip out of her beer and smashed it over Nicks head) "but that makes me feel a hell of a lot better"

animator (Task one Q:5)

5. Which is your favourite animation and why do you like it?

animator (Task one Q:4)

4. What are the differences between early and contemporary forms of animation? 

Both early and present animation looks so different because as time has passed programs for computer have come out to make the animation so look so more realistic and different ways have been found to make things animated, than the way it looks back at the start of animation.

animator (Task one Q:3)

3. Research and find out about two different types of contemporary animation. What is each called? Describe how they were made and again add some images or youtube links to your description. 


2D animation can now be created or edited on your computer using bitmap graphics or 2D vector graphics, you can morph onion skin or interpolate rotoscoping with computer animation, everything is done n the computer thanks to new programs that always us to do so.


Clay animations are used in films and programs such as wallace and grommet and robot chicken, you move the clay model a tiny little but for each photo you take so it looks just like these programs, it takes along time to create this illusion but all worth the wait in the end.

Animator (Task one Q:2)

2. Research and find out about two different early forms of animation. What is each called? Describe how they were made and add some images to your description.  

Phenakistoscope and praxionscope were two different forms of early animation. 

Phenakistoscope was a divice used early in animation that gave the illusion of motion.

Praxionscope was a small cylinder with slits in the side all the way around so you could see in so when you put a images on the inside everyone a bit different from the one before, it would looks like the images was moving when you spun the cylinder.

Animator (Task one Q:1)

1.    Research on the Internet and then in your own words, write a short description (3-4 sentences) about the term ‘animation’.

animation can either be 2D or 3D moving images, which are lost of single images being merged together to look like and object is actually moving on its own will but its just different pictures of the object. it is not just object it could be a drawing and you make different positions with the drawing such as a person running each drawing will changed a little bit so when you put them all together it will look something like this:
