Flash Intro

   We made a flash video for our final and i did the 3-D intro and helped with lightning VFX and helped a little with the green screen. we didn't really sketch much because we knew what we were gonna do from the start and we just dove in. we had a problem with audio balancing because we used after effects and none of us have had much experience in after effects.

The You in Youtube

      this article talks about the future of small time animators and freelance animators and designers on youtube. if the small time animators stay independent and do not partner with companies the will not get as many views and they will be more vulnerable to copyright strikes and attacks on their channel, but all hope is not lost. although the alternatives are harder they are still alternatives. for a self employed animator using youtube as their outlet they will have make, pitch, and sell their creations to their fans and hope to get ad-revinue all while battling copyright and plagiarism.
this author seems to have done his research on youtube and can write with a good flow. his sentences art choppy and there isn't any awkward pause in his blog. he talks about how youtube is more about pointing viewers towards high ad potential channels and because there is just so much content being made now that the limit to what is being watched is not by the channel or a TV schedule it is made by the viewer. one of his weaknesses is that he docent get to the point of the article very fast he is two to three paragraphs in before he tells you what he is arguing for.

eMagine

I was not able to go to imagine because of a band trip but i think that there was a problem with plagiarism and i think that some of the winners shouldn't of won.

3-D in Adobe Illustrator

I made a 3-D room in illustrator using the perspective grid and boxes and lines. i did this in my free time and am proud of my work.

carton

Me and my partner Ben had to make a carton based around a product. we made a carton for snake oil and used the 3-D effect in illustrator to put it all together. i made the snake logo with the pen tool and we found a free for use font to go with our box. Ben helped with the image and the 3-D boxes.

Movie Poster

we were told to make a Saul Bass inspired movie poster and i did ash vs. the evil dead. i think i kinda misunderstood what Saul was going for with his style and i tried to give the poster a leather textuer and it did not turn out great.

Magazine

This is my magazine i made it to resemble a minimalist cover and be related to jazz and instruments from jazz. i used illustrator and Photoshop to get my pieces together than used in-design to make into one thing. i do not think i will continue to use in-design because you can move adobe files to all adobe programs and edit them there.
