This week

This week I've learned about our new project witch is rotoscoping. In the future id like to learn lipsincking for future animations. I liked doing the walk cycle critique this week and the fact that i got to the SECOND page of my 2d short story board. what frustrated me this week was my computer it would lag for about 2-3 seconds and would confuse me on what I'm doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BB65F1I0mA This link shows some of the making of avatar the last airbender it is also one of my favorite shows. Enjoy!!!1

Star Wars! Disney?

      After reading the artcle "The disney purchsae of lucas films:what does it mean?" ive learned that disney has boucht the rights to the star wars movie for 4.05 billion dollars. Ive also learnded that the animation studio ILM is remaining a seperate company, but will still be making the souind  affects for star wars. Ive also learned that disney plans to release the new star wars movie in 2015. In my opinion the article was ver well written and it was very informative. Will the new star wars be better or worse then the originals?

Voice actors!

       After reading the article "Voice actors stepping more into the spotlight" Ive learned that voice acting had started in japan and then made its way into american lives. Ive also learned that  a man named Frank Welker was the voice actor for Fred from Scooby Doo and many other voices we all know and love. Ive also learned that Seth MacFarlane is the creator of not only Family Guy but also American Dad and The Clevland show. I like that the article showed where voice acting came from and that it also listed some of the voice actors from today. Is it possible for voice acting to get more advanced?

No disk drive!!!!!

After reading the article Apple and the incredible vanishing CD drive ive learhened that Apples CD drive is vanishing each new MAC they create does not have a CD drive not but you can buy one for $79. ive also learned that the only computers in apples current line up is the MAC pro and the non retina display MAC book pro, but apple has stated that a new MAC pro will be released in 2013.KI have also learned that removing the optical drive saves the computer on space. One thing i liked about the article is  that it described the past and future of the MAC's. Another thing i like about the article were the pictures that were posted in the article. Why else would apple get rid of the disk drive?

Hurricane sandy fraud

After reading the article hurricane sandy images: dont get fooled by a fake photo. ive learned that theyre are alot of photo shop "artists". they make fake photos such as storms. which cause wide spread and not so much needed panic. The article displayed many pictures which made the article more interesting. The article was very informative on how to catch on to fake pictures created on photoshop. I also like how the article was very well written. Why do people make these pictures if they know it doesnt help anyone?

This week in class I've learned how to make an animated walk cycle. one think i liked this week was doing the logo critique and watching hurricane sandy :P. One thing i did not like was doing the animation for the walk cycle because it was very repetitious and time consuming. In the future i hope to learn the structure of the mouth so i cant do lip sinking on my 2d animated short http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeZ4ariFYm8 this link is about the making and meaning of the games series Kingdom Hearts (Best games ever made in history)
