Tips from the masters of a boring film company.

1) well the first thing that i learned is that you should not make the facial expressions of a character how you would your self but you have to think of them as a real person and think of how they would look and react. In my opinion this is smart because it adds originality to characters, It makes them there own person and not just a bit of there creators.
2) secondly i learned that you should not worry about animating the character you should animate the emotion that they are expressing. This is smart because this makes it easier for the viewer to be able to tell what emotion is being expressed.
3) lastly i learned that only make one main thing move at a time this was the viewer knows to focus on. This is also really good advice because if the viewer has no clue whats going on than they wont watch the entire video or animation.

My only question is what emotion is Jafar making in that photo?    

More cgi less actors.

1) well first off i learned that the person who played Gollum, Andy Serkis does not want to be a normal actor he is fine with using motion tracking. This is cool because this lets him play any role, He could play a demon overlord or a dog. The process of motion tracking an actor and then applying there motions to a 3D model is very interesting to me because this could allow one actor to play all the parts if they wanted. This could reduce the cost for movies by a lot.
2) Next i learned that Steven Spielberg is considered to be a pioneer for using animatronic robots and cgi in his movies Jaws and Jurassic Park. I would have never guessed that he would be considered a pioneer just because he is already so well known.
3)Lastly i learned that motion tracking makes the 3D characters look more realistic. Well ok yeah that is just common sense, but i never realized that in older 3D movies the characters looked fake o soulless. I should have realized this because my favorite movie is avatar which was one of the best examples of how well motion tracking works well if you use it right. In my opinion this is true the motion tracking adds realism to the the characters.

My only question is, do actors and actresses think that this is a good idea? where they would not have to act but just sit at home and collect money.

well this week i learned that if you have a good idea for a project plan it out well. I want to learn some effects but i will watch some tutorials i know for that. I am happy about alot of things this week which is weird. But i am happy that the contest project is all planed out and we just need to wait for the props to get here and than we can start filming. Nothing really made me mad this week.

First off here is a show that i really want to watch Robots

And here is a tutorial not so robots 

stuff

1)I learned that any good director should start with a tv show before a big box office movie. This is smart because directors need practice before directing a movie.
2)I learned that the guy who directed buffy also worked on the avengers. This is shocking to me because the two things are just so different. 
3)lastly i learned that its not all about the ratings its about your fan base. This is important because with out fans buying merchandise your show will go under.

My only question is will the same guy direct the avengers 2?

Facebook

1) well first i learned that facebook is trying to make emoticons for every emotion. I guess this is smart, i mean it gives people a simple way to show emotion on the internet.
2) i learned that Darwin was making a book that logged every human emotion. This is really cool because till now i thought he had just discovered evolution.
3) Lastly i learned that Just by using simple lines you can make good drawings that express emotion. This is really cool because it helps me with the comic im making with a friend.

My only question is How do they plan to incorporate these emoticons into face book? will there be a scroll menu or will you have to push a combo of keys to make them.  

Well this week i learned the after effects like to be the only program open then it is rendering, other wise it will lag everything like hell. Nothing made me mad to mad this week, but on the other hand nothing made me happy either. So this week has just been full of indifference. I want to learn how to make a gun flash in after effects, because i have a plan to use it in my project about the year 2100 or something. but i will just watch a tutorial for that

here are a few good shorts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo2iiqYFKBk&list=SP269398EFF9B8DE81&index=15

Paper is kidnapping that guy

1)well first i learned that 2D and 3D animation can be combined to give a nice look to an animation. In my opinion this is really cool, because i combines the complex models of 3D with the complex backgrounds of 2D. This technique gives the animation a solid and well rounded feel to it. 
2)Secondly I learned "Meander is a hybrid vector/raster-based drawing and animation system". This is a very innovative idea and i think we will see a feature length movie made in this in the next few years.
3)Lastly I learned something they did not state, and that is if you use a 2D background for 3D models it make the models pop and stand out. This is good because you generally want the models to be the center of attention.

My only question is how long did it take to make this short?  

still don't know, still don't care

1) well first off Quentin Tarantino taught me that i should lie. Ok really This dude is a popular actor and he is going around telling people to lie, That seems like such a smart thing to do.
2)Then he taught me that everyone steals, again this dude it really looking out for his job. But in a way he is right because you should be inspired by other movies just do not copy them to a tee.
3)Lastly I learned something useful, to Jive a job your all and make it a personal experience, so your acting in more believable. This makes is smart because if you can trick your mind into thinking its real for that short time you act as if it was real and not come off as fake or acting.

I just have one question and that is did anyone ever sue him over saying he was in those movies when he was not?  

Ya dun goofed Disney

Well first things first, I learned that they think this game will replace minecraft. BULLSHIT, this game is for young kids who couldn't even understand minecraft. This game will never do better than minecraft.

Secondly i learned that some gaming companies think it is smart to make people buy stupid little figures just to play as a character in a game. NO its not smart they are just using small kids because they know they will beg there parents to get every new figure that come out.

Lastly i learned that they are trying to ruin my favorite movie. Ok i know that is not true but most of the people that will play this game will have never scene "The Nightmare Before Christmas" so they will have no clue who jack, sally, and the mayor are.

My only question is why are they just copying other games? why not just be original, o wait its Disney so thats not going to happen. So my real question is why would you need a certain figure to reach a certain level?    

Who knows/ who cares

Well this week was nothing more than boring, I got to work on my paper and i'm happy about that. O I also liked the movie that we watched. Um, this week Nothing really made me mad. With that it was kind of a good week. I want to learn a little more about color correction but i will just watch a tutorial on that, and i didn't really learn anything this week.
