Animation Final

For animation our final was to make a video using special effects. Our group had five people In it. Erick Vidal, Saif Jasim, Joey Tangeman, Brandon Daniels, and me. I was the Cameraman, Saif was the  Director, Eric was an actor, Joey was the Animator, Brandon was the driver.

Frist we had to storyboard out our idea. Eric drew our storyboard and we then went to a location and filmed.

After filming was done we had went to editing. we slit up the parts. Someone worked on Erick walking, the explosions and then we put it all together in one video then added sound effects.

 We went to ism films for the explosions and missile firing sound effects. We went to youtube for the snapping sound effect.


  This project was a lot of fun and we had fun finding the sound effects. Hope you enjoy.

Jessica Blom Interview

I interviewed Jessica Blom about how she plays the flute in ONW band.

Maya Tools

Hammer: When making the hammer I used the Cut Face tool where I cut the back face of the hammer to make the back prongs. Extrude to pull out the prongs and pull out the hammer head.

Ice Cream: When making the Ice cream and Cone I used Bump map tool to make the indents of the waffle cone. I also made it into a looping movie by turning the ice cream a few degrees then added a keyframe to the last keyframe. This made it spin in an endless loop. 

Cup: When making the Cup I used NURBS. I used the curve tool to cut out the cup into the shape of The Holy Grail. Then I used the revolve tool to take my cut of the cup and then expanded it in a 360 degree to make the full cup. Then I found a Holy Grail type of texture and added it to my cup.

Salt Shaker: When making my Salt and Pepper Shakers I used the Curve and Lofting along with the Extrude when making the cap.

Bouncing Spheres: When making the Tennis, Golf, and Bowling balls drop tests I used Keyframes, Graph Editor, and Squash and Stretch.

Chris Hwang Interview

I Interviewed Chris Hwang about what he got for christmas that he hasn't had in a long while. He was very excited about it.

Character Animation

Here is my Character Animation form Animation class. I had to make up a story and characters and the plot and everything else. It's about a car who is a great need of gas but just can't find it. He sadly can't get the gas station in time and runs out.

I made the character and the background in Photoshop and animated it all in After Effects. I made about nine different short animation of each scene then had to add them all together then rendered it all. 

Here is my animation.

Lego Blood Drive

Here I have two videos that are a little differnet then before. There are Informal Interviews. Before I made fun stories and now I'm making news packages. The first video I interviewed my friend Carter about him building legos and other things.

I got all six shots in and asked all the right questions. With the informal interview I asked Carter what he was doing, Why he was doing it, and other more personal questions. All this was done while Carter built his lego set. The project was fun and pretty easy but some things could have been improved like not such shaky camera shots meaning needed to keep stable when filming and interviewing Carter. some of my shots were very quite.
