I'm a PDS Sufferer- (Blog# 4)

Hiya!

This week kind of flew by in a way, productive and fun it was aswell.

School is week was alright, just more setting up for the full school year but at least spirit week is next week so woo. The Homecoming dance is coming up also and I'm bringing my Magneto plushie as my date because I don't have a life. Again WOO

In class this week, we did more tutorials on the effects of photoshop and got down and dirty and started making our own projects which I'm ery happy about doing. I mean come on, a hedgehog mixed with a pinecone so it turns out to be a PineHog or a Hedgecone. Awh, it's really great.

Some pretty awesome things have occurred this week as one of my in-school friends asked me to do a tumblr askblog for Five Nights at Freddy's and he wants me to do the drawings which, is pretty fricken' sweet!
Also, I discovered a new show that, even with my love for The Walking Dead, I think it's better than it. It's called In the Flesh and it's mainly about this town and how the dead came back to life and that government created this drug that brings them back to their normal state of being. So their undead but are able to be brought back into society. I swear to GOD, this show has some of the best representation of discrimination, gay people and PTSD sufferers I have ever seen in a tv show.
I highly recommend it.



Look at these undead cuties

For the bad, I don't really have anything to put down. Um, let's see-

Well, I stubbed my toe and it hurt a whole lot. So, yeah. That's pretty much it

Here's Some Tips (Blog #3)

Do These and You'll be a Star

Now, usually you want to catch one's attention and of r an animation demo reel, make in short and sweet but good. You need to keep someone's attention to your work and reel them in with your talent. Remember that. Be unique to your techniques of animation and don't follow the clique's. You need to stand out of the crowd!
Understand your characters, take some acting classes to understand movement and to understand on how to represent a character to their potential. So, take some acting classes when you have the chance to do so, it'll help in the long run of things. Now, for your demo reel, keep a reel and not a full movie of your work, that's gonna get boring and recruiter are looking for your best work and not a crappy thing you made at 2 am. Keep it to 2-3 animations and make them GOOD.

What I'M Gonna Do

I'm gonna follow these rules by heart because this is something I wanna do with my life and yeah, I need to approve on my skills but, don't we all. Acting classes in my opinion, are a must and for me, I'm working on acting at my high school and this'll help with characters and people in general. So /crosses fingers

This article is a huge help for those who need to understand what people/ recruiters are looking for in them. So, good luck to all


Games are the New Movies, Who Knew? (Blog #2)

The Facts

Being the year 2014, many would have expected flying cars and robotic minions that would do our homework for us but, this is obviously not true. Though pertaining to film making and the entertainment industry in general, we have evolved to more complex techniques that catch the eye of viewers, which is us. Movies have been evolving for more than a century and while on the other side, video games have been only doing that for four decades. Even with such little time, companies and developers are starting to implicate film making strategies into their games, like The Order 1886, which is soon to be released.

Depth of field and even lens glares are being added into games to give it a more "movie" feeling which, is working. Video Games in the modern age are starting to be fleshed out as complete story lines and could be made into movies themselves. Lev Kuleshov's technique of the "cutaway" is a great example as in the video given, a director is able to manipulate with the audiences mind and show that lighting could change a mood or give off a type of style. 

Now Let Me Tell You-

This article makes perfect sense on how video games DO deserve more recognition of being a full source of entertainment and DO give of complex story lines that feel like a motion picture. Kuleshov's "cutaway" technique is also a very good technique and way of giving off an artists aesthetic and a way to give mood. Thumbs up from me.

Over all, video games have come a long way in a short time and they're not leaving anytime soon people.

Dem Memories (Video #1)



So for all of us, we grew up watching The Magic School Bus and that was the best day of school. (Other than watching Bill Nye) but I found this fan-made video and let's just say,

CAN THIS BE A REAL MOVIE

I'm Back BABY ( Blog # 1)

GUYSS

I'M BACK (great, right??)

Anyways, school is back on and for the final round this time. Quite scary to think about but I'm ready to tackle the senior year down. 
There are many things I could write here for what I actually learned, like the fact that my government teacher likes talking about voting for about 3 hours or even that seniors boys like smelling like fermented gym socks.

Disgusting

Though, what I actually learned was more Photoshop skills that I didn't know about, like the retouching process that goes on in magazines and what tools the pros use which was pretty interesting on how drastic things could go when editing pictures. 

I really wanna learn more techniques of how to make full blown photoshoped images, like how ads are made. That'd be really cool to learn so I could make some outragous images of pandas in swimming shorts and small babies as office workers.

So pure madness,

This weekend was extremely fun as I got to finally feel like a senior as me and my crew went bowling (in which I totally lost) and I found Michael Fassbenders long lost American Brother. (don't blame me, dis guy was flyyYY)

But as said, things must come down and this week in school I was forced to sit next to this guy in my government class that asked me "What my favorite coloured crayon I liked to eat?"
like, dude?? ?

My school is weird

All in all, things are starting out well and I can't wait to start filiming so you guys can see my horrible acting
WOO
