Animation

Image
  For the final project of  the class, I was  tasked with making  a 30 second animation with  5 seconds of  credits. While  I really enjoyed this  project, I wish I  had more time to complete  it as I was unable  to finish it all using  rotoscope, so I had to transition in  the middle.  With more time I definitely  would have  been able to fully  rotoscope this animation . As part of the final animation  project for  this class, I was  tasked with making  an original soundtrack  to accompany  the animation . I found a  software named BandLab which is  very similar to GarageBand . While I  know absolutely nothing  about composing  music,  the music loops provided  by the software  helped me out . I look to expand my  knowledge of music  in the future.

  For our ninth project  of the class,  I was tasked with taking  a picture of  myself and transforming  it into  a view of my inner  thoughts.  This project was very  personal for me  because it is a  combination of the  meanings from the  fourth and fifth projects . I always want  to shoot for the  sun with all I do,  but then something comes  around and pulls  me back to earth .

  For the eighth project  of the class,  I was tasked with taking  six different photos  of myself and  combining them  to look like one  photo with six  of me in it. This was  my favorite project  of the class because  it was just pure  joy throughout the  process of masking  and combining  images in  Photoshop. It was  also fun to tell a  little story with just  me.

  For the seventh project  of the class,  I was tasked with taking  the fifty- millionth photo of myself  and, using masking  and other tools  of Photoshop,  place myself into a scene  from a movie or  TV show (The show  The Boys in my  case). I had a lot of  trouble settling on  an idea and getting  the lighting correct . However,  after that was done this  was another project  that was a blast  to do.

For the sixth project  of the class , I was tasked  with taking yet  another photo of  myself and use  the tools of photoshop  to make  a mask of  my various features  and turn them  into different colors  using 3 different color palettes . Overall this  project was just  fun and I found out  that lipstick really  doesn’t look good  on me.

  For the fifth project of  the class, I was  tasked with taking  a photo of myself  and, using  Illustrator’s image trace  feature along with  my other skills,  turning the photo into  a poster with a  3 point message.  Unlike the last project  which brought  me back to  my roots, this project  let me “look up  at the stars” and  remind myself of my  inspirations and where  I want to end  up in life.
