day 13 - viewings and new project


Today was the day that we got present and view all of our animation projects. I kind of more excited to see how our animation turned out since we edited it yesterday, but also at the same time, I was a little too see how ours compared to the others. The group to go was Viet’s group, and their animation was pretty well done, almost professional like. The style looked very vivid and the motion of it looked very clean. I was surprised that they used the idea of a man smoking a cigarette all of a sudden turns into a cockroach. Maura’s group’s project was up next, and it a little bit more abstract than the other one in which it features a butterfly hatching and flying around the foreground. The part where the sound pitch suddenly goes up higher is what I think got everyone in the class a little scared because they weren’t expecting it. It then transitions into various clip out art pieces that form a woman who slowly ages as the pictures goes on, and then the same butterfly appears and then dissolves in the shape of a skull. Our group’s project was the last one to show, and it received a somewhat warm welcome response from the class.

The difficult part was determining which ones should play at the finale of class, Dr. Silva thought all three of them looked eligible enough to be featured, but it was a lot more complicated than that, as each film had its flaws. So we did the process by elimination strategy that we did for the audio projects. Each film had meet a certain requirement and criteria in order to pass inspection. In end, thankfully, all three films passed inspection and could be featured in the finale, which pleased me the most, personally.

The last thing we did today was discuss our new project assignment which is about creating a film with “beatz”, like montage editing. We were divided into groups of two this time, with me teaming up with Paul and we discussed what our battle plan would be for this project. Hoping that everything goes as well as planned and that we just have fun with it.
