a tutorial on frame-by frame animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdKBoB5BRBI

an animation with an good idea but for some reason i just don't like this animation but it is still worth watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdKBoB5BRBI

well we learned about our final project this week, im thinking im going to do the song Code Monkey. i liked that i was able to start my independent study project and i got a good part done. the only bad thing is that i have work this weekend so i will have to work on my project when i get home. i have started trying a new style of animation which is just frame-by-frame animation but it is still more fun than just tweens. also i am looking forward to the skills competition because i will get to use what i can do in 3D to put towards a project for a big contest.

well this looks like a funny movie and its done in claymation

well like most of the on the weeks this one has been spent on working on projects, so we didn't learn much. But we did learn about the 11 second club project which i have most of the modeling done for and i really like what i have so far. the only thing that i didn't like this week was how i forgot allot of stuff in flash, that made me a Little mad. other than that this was a good week, I'm happy how my project is turning out.

this is an abstract audio animation that works well with the music

there not much to say about this week. i finished my 3D short, but i made the models when i didn't fully understand how models worked so there movement are a little messed up. also the idea i had where the camera goes into a 1st-person view worked the in cheetah but when i rendered it it didn't work as well. But i got it done and its not the best of my 3D works but i still like it.

This week we didn't learn much about 3D, but we did take a quiz on 3D and i was happy with my grade. I'm still not as happy as i could be with my 3D short but it will have to do.
