Hello every one this is James Riddle and I m bout to tell you about my story animation thee video bellow is what I was able to get  completed in the time I had. I will admit I wanted to add another scene to my story and add more content to it.  some things I learned were how to  rotate my character around and animate the arms.

Bello is the  back round I used for my story. I created the background in photo shop then imported the file into after effects and then  animated my character.

  

Hello this is James Riddle  I am about to show you what I consider is some of my best work in Animation class

First I will show you my multiplane animation

I dont know if the video will play in blogger so I will have to describe the project to you ifferent parts of the video will move at different spedes similar to some 2d animated carton backgrounds or when you lookout the window wale driving.

I learned how to use the burn tool ( that's how i created the shadows under the trees and clouds) I also ws taught how to minuplate different lwers at different speeds and create different shpes with the brush tool.  how I waz taught this my class s shown how to use the different tools and minuplate the background as for the rest I learned through experementing and asking questions. I created the trees by using the brush tool in photoshop along with the burn tool to get the shadows I needed.  once the back ground was complete I imported the prject into After Effects so I could animate the project.

My worm project

For this project I learned how to use the puppet pin tool in after effects,make a character move across the screen,import a project into After Effects. We were shown how to use the brush tool to create the shape I needed after that We drew lines to get different parts of the worm and so the puppet in tool would work properly. After that  I drew a face on the front of the worm, once I finashed creating the background and the worm its self I used the gradent tool to give the worm a 3D optical illusion. once tha was done I  imported the project into after effects and used the pupit pin tool to have the worm move upward

Feature story project reflection

I have just completed my first feature story for my sophomore year. This project took a lot longer to complete.  Next time I will collect more B-roll and play it during my voice over and not just my sound bites, follow the rule of thirds, and fix delays in between my transitions.

Procedure Video

Hello everyone, this is James, and I have completed my first video project for sophomore year.
My assignment was to chose a procedure in my agenda and film it. My partner and I decided to cover plagiarism.

First, we were taught how to use the cameras, next we drew up a story board and found out where we were going to film. Later, we started to film our shots. I quickly found out we needed a third person for one of our shots. It took a few days to finish filming our video, but we got it done on time.  When I got the files I needed of my SD card,  I went straight to editing and I had a massive amount of it to do but the video turned out to be excellent.

So far I have learned how to use the Panasonic cameras, the importance of white balancing the camera, and how to edit in a completely new software. Next time I will add a music track to my video. I'm going to keep the timings on my video.  I got some good feedback from my classmates about the timings.

For my next project I'll know to get just the right angle when filming a computer monitor, make sure the camera is secure on the tripod and repeatedly check the camera's white balance.

I think this project will help me complete my next project now that I've learned the camera's basic functions and have limited knowledge on how to use the new editing software.

Our team name was Fast Break Food and our product was called the Portable Mini Fridge. I thought we did a gd job creating our video.

I think we struggled with getting our animation complete due to technical difficulty , as a result we were not able to animate the file we were going to use.

I had a lot of difficulty completing our website on time and I apparently forgot to tell my group I put our advertisement on the website but I was still able to complete the website and I took control when I learned my group did not know about the advertisement.





One thing I think I would change is the fact that we were un able to contact our group members if one or more of us was absent.

Think my ability to speak in front of a large group has improved.
