storyboarding tips

Something I learned from this article is that when your making storyboards you should think in a 3- dimensional perspective. Another thing I learned is another helpful storyboarding tip, use grids, using grids will help you get more control of the perspective. I also learned to label characters when dealing with more than one in a single shot, this will help stop confusion with differentiating the characters from one another. A thing I liked about this article is that it contains a bunch of really helpful tips to storyboarding that I have never thought of. Another thing I like about the article is that it contains pictures of storyboard examples to help you understand what they mean in the writing. A question I have about this article is who thought of storyboards in the first place?

Walt n' Jim

Something that I learned from this article is that Jim Henson died from a rare bacteria. Another thing I learned is that Jim Henson had a small company mindset, unlike Walt Disney who (as you can tell) wanted to expand and become a media marvel. I also learned that both Walt and Jim were influenced by fairy tales they were exposed to when they were young. A thing I liked about this article was that it had a pretty good amount of information to compare and contrast Walt Disney and Jim Henson. Another thing I liked was that the article was separated into different sections, rather than big, long paragraphs. A question I have about the article is were Walt and Jim friends?

This week

This week was okay.  I learned about morphing images together through the "Worth 1000" project. Something I want to learn in the future is how to be better at photoshop. Something that made me happy this week was talking to my mom about getting my license and a car. Something that frustrated me this week was having an essay on something that I cant really write about, and realizing how close all the deadlines for college applications are. Here's a cool link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clnozSXyF4k This video made me realize how many things ive seen in movies that were probably just greenscreened, wow what a cool, yet sort of simple technology!

Emotion Manipulation with music

Something I learned from this article is that certain noises can give a person a certain emotion. Another thing I learned from this article is that scans suggested that the regions of the brain that light up with music are those linked to euphoric stimuli such as food, sex and drugs.  I also learned that it's believed that the fear people felt while watching "Paranormal Activity" was caused by the use of low frequency sound waves. Something I liked about this article is that it was interesting. Another thing I liked about the article is that it showed how important music is in a movie. A question I have about this article is  what do they mean by " back to when our prehistoric selves will have heard a twig snap in a forest and thought 'that's it, I'm dead'?

Chipotle Scarecrow

Something I learned is that the video in the article has angered many people in the food processing business.(Understandable) Another thing I learned is that the video hasnt even been aired on television. I also learned that the video isnt really an ad, but more like a narrative. I also learned that Chipotle wants to gain customers by reaching people who agree with their anti-processed food approach. A thing I liked about this article is that its about chipotle.(Their food is so good.) Another thing I like is that the video is animated. A question I have about the article is why is there an article on the video?

Weekly Blog Post.

This week I learned alot about photoshop. Something that I want to learn in the future is how to use after effects. Something that made me happy this week was the release of Grand Theft Auto 5. Something that frustrated me this week was having an english essay. http://youtu.be/WQO-aOdJLiw This might be a little disturbing, but i guess this guy uses photoshop to do this, so i thought it was Relevant.

Low Budget Visual Effects

A thing I learned from this article is that the COTOPOXI boat (That appears to be huge) in "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" was actually a 20-foot model and the actors were just placed a quarter mile away. Another Thing I learned is that the "Imperial Sand Dunes" from Star Wars Episode VI were actually just dunes in Southern California (Not Surprised). I also Learned that the author of the blog post used the same "Forced Perspective" technique in his own movie "The Grind" to put a humvee in the desert. A thing I liked about this article is that it gives you a useful way to make a low cost visual effect. I also liked that the author included videos of the effect in action. A question I have about this article is why does everyone do this effect in the dessert?

Too Many Animated Movies

A thing I learned from this article is that there are too many animated movies coming out or already out.
Another thing I learned is that DreamWorks had to lay off people because of the money lost from "Rise of The Guardians." I also learned that Warner Brothers is making a movie based off of Legos in 2014.(Why?....) A thing I liked about this article is that it shows how more creativity is needed for movies to be successful. Another thing I liked about this article is that it talks about upcoming animated movies. A question i have is whats with the obsession with the Minions from "Despicable Me"?

Something I learned this week is that I have the math skills of a 7 year old. Something that made me happy this week was that the weather was good for the most part.
