Christopher Nolan's Movie Tips

This article told us about how Christopher Nolan came to success. Christopher Nolan is probably most know for writing and directing box-office booming films such as The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, And Inception.  From this article, I Learned many tips to be a successful Filmmaker. I Learned to try to meet Talented people in the field by going to film festivals. I Also learned that to be a good filmmaker, I Should be familiar with the entire operation on set, From Sound, to Special effects i should understand the jobs of these people. Also, I learned that sucsessful film writing comes from a blend of Objective and Subjective views. Something I liked about the article is that it tells people how to think when it comes to the art of filmmaking. Something i disliked from the article was that Nolan tries to use as little CGI as possible, like hey! that's Basically the field im interested in! A Question i have about the article is that Filmmaking is an art, Although people can take tips from others, We shouldn't totally listen to what one successful writer and director is saying when it comes to plots, and effects, isnt being the same as someone pointless?

3D- Blog post 2- week 4

Why 3D Films are not the future.

From this article I learned that 3d Films are actually becoming more and more less popular. I also learned that making a movie 3D Takes away some of the color, and vividness of films. Next, I learned that it cost $15 Million dollars just to convert the Disney-Pixar movie Finding Nemo From standard 2D to 3D. A Thing I Liked about this article was that it told you about how much money companies can make just from taking a blockbuster film like The Lion King, and converting it to 3D. Something I didn't like about the article was that it showed that some movies just use 3D to take up for the loss of a good story or acting. A question i have about this article is why are they continuing to make 3D movies if the market for them is going downhill, it just doesnt make sense to me.

What I Learned Week 4

Week 4

This Week I learned how to use Adobe Flash, and how to use it for simple animations. We learned to animate using techniques such as frame by frame using Presets etc. In The Future i would like to learn how to do more complex animations, and how to do it productively.  A thing that frustrated me this week was all the bugs, and problems with the Adobe Flash program, such as the constant crashing. I was happy that I could finally learn about animating in flash, and i cant wait to make my own flash movies.

Here's a cool link.

Its a stop motion animation video ive seen a couple times, its pretty cool. I think its relevant because it shows how people can take animation further than just paper.

Monday Thoughts

Im Absolutely Disturbed that the weekend came to an end and its monday....

Robots, Now with Feelings.... blog project #3- week 3

In Reading this article, I learned that people's gestures, and posture, foreshadow their upcoming actions. I also learned about how ridiculously advanced computers and robotics are getting, now they can even show emotion. I Also learned that people can use robots to figure out how the human brain. Something i didnt like about this article was that robots can now show emotions, because its sorta creepy. something i did like about this article was that it was interesting to see the advancements that are being made in computers. A question i have about the article is why are we using computers to show how gestures can show if you can trust a person or not..

Blog Project #2 3d printers- Week 3

3D Printers

From the article "3D Printers: Now You Can Bring Hi-Tech Manufacturing Into Your Home." From Huffington Post Online, I Found out that 3d printers are used to make Real life objects from layers generated on a computer, Even though this sounds a little sci-fi, its not. I also found out that these high tech machines have been a reality for more than 25 years. I also found out that these printers are now becoming available for home use. These 3d Printers will go on sale starting at only $350 Dollars. A thing I liked about this article was finding out that these 3d printers will come available to everyone to purchase. Something i didnt like about the article was that companies see these printers as a way to make loads of money off consumers, its a nice thing to have, but its not practical such as a regular printer. A question i have about this article is that it takes so long to make something from the printer, why dont they speed up the process of these printers before selling them to consumers?

Friday!

IT'S FRIDAY.
I feel almost as happy as that guy.

Blog Project- Week 3.

What I learned this week

  This week I learned about design principles, and methods advertisements use to attract consumers to their products, Involving color, shapes, and proportion.... And i learned The Magic of Notebook page reinforcement. In the future i would like to learn how to animate objects i create in adobe illustrator.A thing that frustrated me this week is the sometimes over complex actions you have to take to do small thing in illustrator. I was Really happy to be able to take my drawing from paper to computer easily, and make a more "professional looking version" of my sketch. 

Heres a cool link i found a while ago.

Its a short video based off a scene from one of my favorite old video games, "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" for the Nintendo 64. The Video was created by a person who was at the time, a beginner at 3d animation. I thought it was pretty decently done.
