More rotoscoping this week :(

this week i learned how to take still pictures from a camera and import them to premier. i wish to learn how to enhance my drawing abilities. one thing that i disliked this week was the repetitiousness of rotoscoping. one thing that made me happy this week was starting my stop mooting animation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw7aCFQqQ8M this link shows the behind the scenes in bethesda studios about the making of the elder scrolls skyrim. Enjoy!

the hobbit :D

After reading an article of the movements of gollum etc. I've learned that in order to capture these motions and facial expressions and actor must wear a skin tight suit with infrared lights on them, they must be bright enough so the camera can pick them up in broad day light. This technique isn't used just on gollum but the goblins, orcs, and trolls from both "The Lord Of The Rings" and "The Hobbit". Ive also learned that peter jackson is taking the approach with 48 frames per second rather than 24. I n my opinion this article has showed me how the whole motion capturing system works. i especially like the illustration in the beginning of the article. How will motion capturing be further advanced?

weekly update

This week I've learned how to upload videos from a camera into premier then from premier into flash. in the future i would like to learn how to import still pictures from a camera into premier, so i can make my stop motion animation. one thing i liked was learning about premier i looks like a fun program in the future. one thing that really frustrated me was the repetition of our rotoscoping projects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrJceE4g_Ms enjoy this link on how the creators of dragon balls create one of the dragon ball z games for the game boy advanced!!!

Rise Of The Guardians

After reading pete ramseys interview I've learned that rise of the guardians is a movie based on fear. it teaches kids that there is fear in the world but there are forces that protect you from it. I've also learned that pete ramsey is also the story board writer for dream works and now directed the movie Rise Of The Guardians. one thing i like about the article is that it gave me great feed back on the movie and gave me interest to see the movie and i also like how he described what the movie is about. what is the next movie that will be created by dream works?
