Hello everyone this is James Riddle and I am about to tell you about some feedback I got from my class. I was told that I did a good job editing my video. Someone told me that my idea was clever. For the first part of our project, we had to select a song. My group chose the song, All alright by FUN. Next we had to get the copyright information for the song. After that, we completed our beat sheet, drew up some ideas on story boards, then we worked on our blog posts. Finally, we were able to film!

 It took us a while to learn how to use the new equipment. We also had a few problems with the tripods. Along the way, we learned how to use a dolly which is basically a device that gives a tripod wheels. After the filming was finished, we each had to edit our own video. Editing took a while, it was difficult to line up the clips with the song. I learned through working with my group that staying after school with your group helps a lot with filming. It was also helpful when people remembered to bring props for the video. Next time, I am going to get a better tripod. Unfortunately, most of them are broken! I thought I worked well with my group. I thought we collaborated well. Also, I learned it's a good idea to ask for outside help.

some of the feed back I got from my class was that I did a good job editing, i should say it was very difficult to line up my clips with  the parts of the song that I needed.  

Hello my name is James Riddle I am a student at Olathe northwest High school and I am writing a blog post about my first project for entertainment video.  Me and my group have figured out what we want for a song.  The song is called All Alright by a band called "Fun".  Unfortunately we were not able to find a music video for this particular song. as a result I had to use a lyric video.  In one Part of the song you hear "I got nothing  left  inside of my chest, But its all all alright." this makes me think  the song is  basically  saying that life can be hard but every thing will be alright eventually.

I personally like this type of music and thought it would be a good idea for use to use this particular song for our project and I think it will  go along well with our idea.  We came up with  the idea of filming someone studying for finals.  one thing the creator did well was the fact that the words were timed with the music correctly. This is critical in this type of video.

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.

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.
