another week

well this week i learned the basics of After effects and i like the program so far. I want to learn more on animation in this program but that will come next week. This week i was glad to get some of the footage done for my documentary and to figure out i should be able to finish it on Monday. The only thing that made me unhappy this week is that i have been sick and just going home and falling asleep, but i feel better now so i can get some things done this weekend.

Dead Water

Well first thing that i learned from this article is that Chesapeake Bay is 40% dead. That is weird in my mind, how can water be considered dead? Is it like 40% of the animals that live in it dead or is it 40% toxic materials and 60%water? The second thing i learned is there is an isopod in Chesapeake Bay which is kind of scary because is could evolve int something like the movie one day. The last thing i learned was that Even if you make an expensive cameras footage look bad it will still look fake. This kind of means that some times its better to use the cheap gear to get the effect you are looking for.

Color vision

Well first I learned that there is many different forms of color blind. I always thought there was just one form of it where you saw everything as shades of gray. The second thing i learned is that the main colors that color blind people can not see are green, red, orange, brown, pink, and light blue, I just thought that they could not see any color at all. The last big thing that i learned is that they are producing glasses that will let these people see these colors again. This is a huge innovation in the scientific world. To be able to give someone the gift of seeing color again is amazing. Personalty i was thinking of saving up and buying my uncle Billy a pair because i know he is color blind and it does affect his life from time to time. I am just wondering how these glasses exactly work? 

This week I learned that you should have a second plan for a project, so if you cant get footage you still have a back up plan. I still want to learn after effects and to do the fight sequence project we were told about. This week the only thing that got me down is that i was not able to get much footage at Roswell because of the hipaa laws but what can you do. This week i was happy to found out that we are doing a fight sequence project, because i have so many ideas for it.

Disney STOP BUYING THINGS

well the first thing i learned is that Disney bought Lucasfilm. NO this is not ok, They are going to mess with everything. I would not be shocked at all to see mickey in the next starwars film. That leads into the second thing i learned, Disney is making a new starwars film. Again not cool disney. Lastly i learned that when Disney bought Lucasfilm they bought the rights to many video games too. So im expecting a bunch of crap games to come out soon, I mean Disney has made some good games like Spectrobes...... that is the only one i can think of.

voice acting article

The first thing i learned from this article is that Frank Welker played the monkey in Aldin. I never would have thought that that character would have a voice actor. The second thing i learned was that  Seth MacFarlane made American dad as well as the The Cleveland Show. That means he has a week to make 3 22 minute shows.This is crazy because each requires a lot of work

This week i learned that white bread has bleach in it and that processed meat has ammonia in it, Who know. I still want to learn after effects. This week the only thing that made me mad was that people kept walking into shots on the video hunt but what can you do. This week i was happy that the videos for the group i was in turned out well. That about it for this week. 

The article about hurricane Sandy was shocking in its self. The first thing was that people would fake a photo for something as serious as a hurricane. The second shocking thing was that the person that photoshoped the picture of the statue of liberty was to lazy to take there own picture of a storm but instead used a well known picture. The last shocking thing is that there is a program that can tell you what photos were used to make a potoshoped image, That is really cool to me because i have wondered if there was something like that but never looked it up 

The article on the new apple computer was interesting, i mean personally i use a Alienware but it was still interesting. The first thing that was shocking to me is the fact that there is no CD drive, That ties in with the next shocking thing which is that if u needed to read a cd on your new computer you would have to buy a usb CD drive. In my opinion that is just apple trying to take more money from its costumers. The last thing that shocked me was the fact that the usb CD drive is $79, That is ridiculous for something as simple as a CD drive.
