Reality TV

One thing that I learned from this article is that survivor started 13 years ago. Another thing I learned is that Reality TV appeals to kids because of the competition aspect. I also learned that Reality TV has things that appeal to both adults and kids. A thing I liked about this article is that it sorta points out that all tv shows are on the same level of lame no matter the genre. Another thing I like about the article is that it wasnt boring. A question i have about the article is Why does reality TV suck so much?

Aleksandr Petrov

A thing I learned from this article is that Petrov made his animations from paintings. Another thing I learned from this article is that Petrov used Oil paint on glass. I also learned that it took Petrov 2 and a half years to make his old man and the sea animation. A thing I liked about this article is that the animation was really cool. Another thing I liked about this article is that it shows how dedicated some animators are to their work. A question I have about this article is Why havent I heard about this short before??

Class Evaluation

1. In general, what did you like most about this class?
The thing that I liked most about the class is that i finally got to learn how to make animations. I have always wanted to learn how to make my own cartoons and animations since i was very young. I really enjoyed the curriculum and just everything about the class was honestly perfect. I also liked that the class made me a more mature person when it comes to work. I loved that the course was reasonably challenging and demanding. I also loved that I learned so much, Not only about Animation, but also design and text as well. Just everything, from the people to the projects made the class very enjoyable and defiantly worth the while.

2. In general, what did you like least about this class?
Defiantly the project deadlines, But honestly, its not something that needs to be changed. The only reason I didn't like them is because sometimes they interfered with other school projects, But Hey, Thats life, and I'm glad that I had to struggle with them because they taught me to become less lazy, and to work harder than before.

3. What were your most favorite project and least favorite project and why?
My Favorite project was probably the Final animation, I really liked the songs that were provided and the fact that we could do it anyway we wanted to. I really enjoyed the project and the thing I liked the most about it was seeing how much progress everyone (Including myself) made since the beginning of the year. My Least favorite project was probably the Rotoball Project. This is because it was very time consuming and there was just something about it that i didnt like that i cant put a finger on. ( I guess it just didnt really click?) But I liked learning about the Rotoscoping and how that was done!

4. Do you feel that this class will help you achieve your future academic or career goals? How or why (or why not)?
I feel that this class will defiantly help me in both my future academic and career goals because
it has taught me to be more into my work than ever before. I think that it has taught me that to get anywhere in life i defiantly cant slack off no matter what.


5. Additional comments:
I really enjoyed my year in the class, And I think that anyone with any interest in the animation field would love this class. Im really glad that i made the choice to join the class even though at times projects drove me crazy. Im looking forward to next year's film class.
