ball animation

This week in Ecomm we had a project. Our teacher told us to go on photoshop and make an animation that had to do with the ball bouncing from the corner like he taught us to do. When the ball was done bouncing, there had to be a surprise at the end.

For my animation, I made grass with the brush for my background, and frame by frame I made the ball bounce. When the ball stopped bouncing, I wanted my surprise to be different. originally I wanted the ball to be like an egg, and a chicken pop out of it. I had some difficulties with that so I made a raven (our mascot) jump out instead. I thought the raven looked boring so I put a crown and a cape on him making him a king raven jumping out of a red bouncy ball. Not only that but I made a cage fall on him.

The process of making this animation, that is about five seconds, took 3 days. The background was pretty easy, I just took a brush that looked like grass, and filled in a little more than a third of the page. next, I made the ball bouncing. This took up not much time because I have done this multiple times before. I made a circle, colored it red, and made a lot of copies of it, and placed them going down, and up, and down again. I then opened up my timeline and I made a frame for each of those copies. Next, I made a hole in the ball where the bird would pop out, and then I drew a king raven that popped out. The hard part was making the cage fall. I had to make many layers and I had to put specific layers on different frames.

Senior final

      M y past four years with the eCommunications academy was overall an amazing and unique experience. freshman year I remember having a big interest in video and graphic design, but I wasn't so into animation and web. I made some great friends freshman year and that followed into my sophomore year. obviously, I chose video and graphic design. I had a lot of fun following tutorials and creating art I could be proud of in graphic design and I loved making music video remakes and doing mini cover stories. at the end of the sophomore year, I decided to go into convergence journalism. I didn't really connect with the people in that class and within a week I switched to entertainment video. I loved the people in my new class but a part of me always kind of wished I stayed in journalism because that has been something I've been into since middle school. however, I did find something I loved in entertainment and that was my role as a documentarian in that year's feature film...

Personality type

        Personality tests:                 Test #1: In Ecomm we did something called a personality test. After taking this test with about sixty questions, it would then examine my answers and tell me weather I was an extravert or an introvert. An extrovert is an outgoing person who is good in social situations. An introvert is someone who would rather read a book then hang. The test that I took told me that I was an extrovert. It asked me questions like if I liked being in crowds, or just sit and read a book. Of course I said I like being in crowds, because I am a people person. Being a people person makes me an extrovert, and according to my test, I was basically the opposite of an introvert.                 Test #2:The second test that I took put me into one of four categories. After taking the test, the animal that I got was an otter, which means i am playful and I like to be aro...

pressure and ink

Relief process In this process you use somthing called a baron to transfer the picture. u place the paper over the carved wood that has ink on it and you use the Barron to rub in the ink. the Barron is a wooden circle that makes the ink more visible for a better transfer. to make the print u use wood that is carved by hand and u use negative and positive space to show where and where not there will be ink to form the picture. intaglio process For this process you use copper and scratch it with the tool to make a picture. but first you have to buff and shine the copper so the un intended scratches won't effect the print. then you put it in a liquid to make it stronger and its a really important step. u make the copper jet black and u slightly scratch just so you can see the copper. lithography process this processs uses stone and it uses the technique of grease and water. they will draw with a greasy material onto a lithographic stone and then they use chemicals to treat the ...
