I have a blog?

Hello Children.

Last term we were doin' something to do with motion sequences and shit.

In this sequence I've been trying to find images that I think would make a realistic background, I plan to add more images of building to make the background standout. A major problem that I've got with this piece of work is trying to find the right images for the background and trying to make those images fit with the background. I need to colour correct the background images with the foreground image to make the final piece realistic.



Lumakey: a means of seperating a foreground image from its backgorund by use of difference in brightness.

Alpha Channel or Matte (Digital): Mattes are used to combine two or more image elements into a single, final images and are in effect an alpha channel is the portion of a 4-channel image file that is used to store transparency information.  
    

My Character Fred Astarie

My characters is based off Fred Astaire so my character's outfit will be a top hat cut-away coat with white spats on his shoes. My character will be dancing in the city and then I might have the background change into some sort of meadow of avenue or maybe he'll be dancing in a ball room. I don't know what else to write so I'll just stick with this. These arfe images that I think might help me when I make my final character.

 

 

Motion Graphic

I learn't chromakey & Lumakey using After affects I learn't how to take one image putting it onto another which is called called compositing I did this to make the iamge look realistic.

I had difficulty making the foreground image not transparent and I lost my background.

Stop motion Sketch book work........I like PIZZA!

In this piece of work I had to create five different stop motion animation characters that is based around me and answer some questions about the characters and write about their personalities. I think that this piece of work is very good because it's helped to show me how creative I can be. I think that answering these questions was a good thing because It's helped me to understand the characters and to know their personalities.

This is a story board that I created for one of my five stop motion characters. I look at each of my five characters and thought about which one represents me the most. To create this I thought about what I do in my free time, all I do is play video games or class work, so I created a little story that about me playing video games I liked this story because I believe that this helps to show me through a character that I developed.

This is a Phenakistoscope that I drew in my sketch book the image in my phenakistoscope is a jigsaw piece, the reason that I decided to use this is because it's an object from a video game that I used to play when I was a child. I like this creation because it helps to show what I liked when I was a kid. Next to the phenakistoscope is a storyboard in Muybridge style and expalining whats happening in the phenakistoscope.  







Here I have made two new characters for my stop motion work, but this time I made two out of different media the first one is in a silhouette and the other out of collage. The collage character is made out of different video game characters from games that I've played in the past and ones that I play now.

Tuesday....I like Pizza

In today's lessons with Geoff I had to come up with a fantasy portrait rough drawing and do it in my sketch book, once I've done that I had to search the Internet finding pictures that I like that also relates to the sketch in my book then after I found that picture I need to put myself in the foreground of the picture using Photoshop.   

Recording File details

Friday 5th October

In today's lesson we've been annotating are work by writing the file details that we might use for our ideas in our sketch books.

 We need to think about:

• Proposed file type: .TIFF
• Print resolution: 300 dpi (min) 
• Estimated file size: 1.5 mb 
• Scale/Pixels: 1024x800

You DID NOT HAVE TO DRAG ME INTO THIS!!!!

24th September

In today's lesson I had to draw 4 concept drawings to get an idea of what environment I'm going to have for my video game character and then after that lesson I had to create this by getting images off the internet and adding editing them on Photoshop.

Don't you just hate it when someone points at you?!
