Animation 4/25

I made a video about what a girl should wear on her birthday and how her roommate can be critical on what she should wear. I used photos in photoshop using a timeline. I first took a picture of my roommates room so the background was the same. Then I took a bunch of pictures of myself facing all directions in all different outfits so I can have free range to move myself around the background. I then took a picture of my roommate indicating yes or no. I extracted my roommate, the folding screen and myself and put it in the background. I also recorded myself for the dialogue and imported the voices for the video. I really enjoyed this project, it was fun to manipulate the images to make it seem like they were moving. 

Storyboard Sketches

I'm going to do a girl trying to find a birthday outfit. She tries on all pretty outfits and her roommate keeps saying "NO!" and until finally she comes out with a ridiculous outfit on and her roommate loves it and says "YES!". She keeps going behind a curtain and shows up with a different outfit when she returns. I'm going to use photoshop and use pictures but not stop motion. I'm excited for this project. 

Collage Environment 4/6

I used the song lyrics from the song "I'll be" by Edwin McCain for my collage inspiration. This song is a love song but this set of lyrics made me think of a father-daughter bond. I took pictures from google and personal pictures of family to have the years of their lives throughout the landscape. I first have a newborn in the back, then age 5 on the bench, a teenager in the middle, a young women at her wedding and then finally the daughter all grown up waiting to meet her Dad again in heaven. I wanted to use a mixture of a black and white filter and a sepia tone filter to set the emotion and scene. I also decided to use the lyrics in the photo so that it didn't look like just a bunch of people in the park and show that it's stages of one persons life. I liked this project because I liked using a song for inspiration and had fun extracting all these photos and putting it into one.
