Week post

Well this week i learned that when you have a good idea DON'T CHANGE IT. i want to learn some more about after effects. This week i was happy to hand in my stop motion. But i am mad about some of the stuff im working on. All in all this was not a bad week, it had its ups and downs.

SPACE INVADERS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VczbbiRmDik

well, there going to kill us all.

1) first thing i learned is that they are making a movie that is filmed by robots. This is not a bad idea, just because the fact that the robot could hold the camera steady better than a human. But it is still a little creepy.
2) secondly i learned that these robots interview someone, and that person tells them things that they wouldn't normally tell people. But then these people go and use that in a film. Cuz this totally seems fair.
3) lastly i learned that when sending two of these bots to Fox they hoped to get an interview this the actor that plays Axe Cop this would be a good idea because due to the popularity of the web comic and the anticipation of the show people would see this film just to see axe cop.

I only have one question "Why?....... why would you make this, and who would go to see it?"

Pixar the physic of Moore’s Law

1) well the first thing i learned is that Moore's law is "Everything good about computers gets an order of magnitude better every five years". This law makes a lot of seance because if you give any form of technology ten years there is no way it wont improve.
2) secondly i learned that Moore's law has been going for almost half a century, when its creator didn't think that it would have lasted longer than 2 years. that is impressive, for something to last that much longer that even its creator expected it to last is truly amazing.
3) lastly i learned that Pixar animators waited 20 years to make the first toy story. That is really weird. but i have to give them credit they stoke with there idea and were able to make if after waiting 20 years......

The only question i have is "why did they wait the 20 years?"

week of bad things happening.

Well this week i leaned that if you have your projects filmed that you should put the footage on a computer before the card goes bad and you lose everything.......
i want to learn why a SD card would be bad at the worst possible moment.....
i was mad that i lost ALL OF MY FOOTAGE. I was happy that....... wait i wasn't happy i was mad.

Here is a link to a video that has some good effects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnuJyJBM_J4

Just when the song is out of my head.......

1) Well first off i learned that they are making a comic based off of Jonathan Coulton's songs. This is cool because he has a lot of good and creative songs that all tell a little story. seeing how much i like his songs i will most likely read this comic when it comes out.

2) secondly i learned that this comic is not only about the song code monkey it also involves many of his other songs. This is also a really good idea because it gives the story writer more material and characters to work with for the comic.

3) lastly i learned that in the comic the "code monkey" must team up with a supervillain Skullcrusher to save the girl he loves. This is an interesting twist, because in most comics the hero may team up with a villain once but this entire comic it him teamed up with skullcrusher. This is a refreshing twist from the comic book norm. 

The only question i have is this going to be a web comic or an actual comic book? or both?

Disney just give up.

1) well the first thing i learned is that Katie Woodger is the one who painted that picture. I have seen it many times but till today i have never known who the artiest was. But i have to say it is a nice painting.
2) secondly I learned that Disney stole this picture and printed it on a bag. I mean really, they couldn't come up with anything them selfs. The also didnt take the time to see if someone owned it or the time to even get rid of some of the extra water marks in the blank space of the painting.
3) lastly i learned that this kind of thing happens all the time. this is kind of shocking because i thought big companies would at least have the respect to not steal from artiest that can't do anything about it.

The only question i have is" did Disney ever contact her back?"

Good news everyone!

Well before i get into what i learned i have something to say. WHY, japan this is a bad and useless idea. I mean yes it might work for some tv shows but what about shows like the walking dead?
personalty i dont want to be watching the walking dead and being able to smell the rotting zombies.

1) well first off i learned that japan is inventing smell-o-vision, what are you japan the professor from Futurama, and i already stated my opinion above.











2)secondly i learned that this invention would run off of small vials. This is also a bad idea in my mind, because if this ever becomes a house hold thing people will have to keep buying more vials just to experience the show to its fullest.

3) lastly i learned that japan got around this vial problem by making a special screen. I still find this to be a weird idea. I mean it may help blind people watch tv but thats the only good reason i can think of for what this invention should exist.   

My only question is if there making smell-o-vision how long till they make the smell-o-scope?

Pointers to Improve Storytelling from someone

1) well first off i learned that you should open your story with a hook. That is what will keep the readers and or viewers attention. This is some good advise because if you have a choice between two books and one starts with a boring explanation of everything that is going to happen in the book, or a book that starts out with a fight scene and lets you figure out whats going on but gives you little hints.
in my opinion the later of the two is the better choice.
2) secondly i learned that listing the back story of a character is a bad idea. This is a smart move in my mind because the readers dont want to sit there and learn everything about the character at once they want to figure out some of it by them self. This is why it would be a good idea to give little hints to the characters past without coming right out and stating it.
3) lastly i learned that you need to use all five seances. you want the reader to believe that the world that they are reading about is real in some form of was. I personally think this is great advice but i also believe that you should show that your characters have all five seances. You should show them not just using sight but smell, hearing....ect.

The only question i have is for the writer of the article, and it would be "what would be your opinion on having multiple dynamic characters in one story?"
