Ball Bounces

Ball Bounces

Overview


For this project, we had to make three different animations which all included a ball bouncing. One had to bounce up and down, one came from the side, and the third one had to have a surprise ending. Beforehand, we were taught how to make a frame animation on Photoshop, and then we were released to make these three animations.


How We Did It


For this project, we started off by making our background, and our ball. After we had done this, we used the command, option-drag to create multiple copies of our ball. Once we had done this, we moved all of the different balls to a specific area that would make it look like an animation in it's final form. We then started the actual animation, where we started off with our original ball, with all of the others hidden. Then we created a new frame, and hid our original ball, and showed the next copy. We repeated this process until we had gone through all of our frames. There were different things we had to add for the specific animations (such as up & down repeating itself, and the surprise ending). This entire process resulted in our final animations.


Conclusion


Overall, I think these animations were pretty successful, and I enjoyed learning how to make a frame animation. I do think that if I did this again, and spent a little more time on it, I could've made the animation look much cleaner, and less choppy. However, considering this is my first time making a frame animation on Adobe Photoshop, I am very happy with my final products and how everything went as a whole.

Semester 2 Video Production Review

Projects Movie Trailer Recreation For this project, we were put into groups and told to recreate a high school movie trailer. Our group ended up recreating the trailer for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". This entire process took about a month to complete, and had many challenges built in to it. The main challenge we came upon was scheduling with our actors. We found it was extremely difficult to find a time that all of our actors and team members could be in the same place at the same time. Throughout the making of this video, I learned a lot about the use of microphones and sound. I learned how to operate a boom mic and also learned more about how to use your music and audio effectively. At the end of this project, we mostly received positive feedback. The main negative on our piece was that some of the music did not stay true to the actual video. So, for our re-edits, we imported some of the actual music from the video to make it more accurate. Overall, I think our gro...

Movie Trailer Remake

Pre-Production For this project, we were assigned a specific movie about high school, and were told to remake the trailer. My group was assigned "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for our movie. I was pretty excited about this project to start with because I really like the movie I got, and I thought I got a good group. However, this project was certainly not an easy task, so we had a lot of work to do. We started off with all of our pre-production activities. This included story boarding, completing a beat sheet, and figuring out who to cast for each role. Our group decided to mainly cast from our own group to make scheduling a little easier. However, we still casted all of our adults, plus two of our main characters from outside our group. Before we started filming, we also figured out what we were going to do for locations, props, and costumes. Most of our group chipped in for some props or costumes, and we mainly decided the locations as a group. Once we had all of that...

Typography Project

Typography Overview In this project, we were approached with the task of creating a project to show different terms of typography by using Adobe Illustrator. Before we started, we were given some basic knowledge about typography. This included different fonts, and parts of letters. We were then able to use some of our prior knowledge about Adobe Illustrator to create a name line to show our newfound knowledge. This project once again I believe was a very good stepping stone in my knowledge and I think it will be very useful in the future. What I learned For this project, we started off by writing our names and sizing it appropriately, and then making three lines to represent the general height of different parts of the letters. We then labeled different parts of our name with words and arrows. Once again, the command "Option-Drag" was very useful, as it helped us copy and paste our labels easily. After we had labeled at least ten parts of our name, we tweaked the l...
