I decided to warp Chris Evans and Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan together. I picked these two because they looked fairly similar to each other. They also play "captains". Chris Evans plays Captain American and Erwin Smith is an actual military leader. I honestly didn't like doing this project at all.
I only feel pressured to look a certain way sometimes. Most of the time I really don't care what I look like, but then I'll see something and immediately feel self conscious for a few days. I feel like the media pressures teens to look a way that's almost impossible since most models end up getting photoshopped anyway. Most people in reality could care less what you look like.
196 layers later and I finally finished. I decided to create a pokeball out of Pokemon characters. I thought it would be cool to make it out of the actual characters instead of random things. If I could change one thing I would definitely try to fill in some of the negative space between characters. I also realized after I finished that i never actually went all the way around with the gray area at the bottom.
I found it difficult to find spaces to put all the images together. It was also hard to find characters that actually fit the spaces they were supposed to go into. When I first began to work on this project I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the background of certain images but I eventually figured it out.
This is for the edible architecture project. I decided that I would like bugs such as dragonflies and butterflies to live inside the peach house. The background looked nice with the color of the peach so I decided to use those two together. I also decided to have a dragonfly that stuck with the orange theme. The butterfly is blue because I thought the image needed contrast against the orange. The windows and door are red because the also go with the colors of the peach.
I added shadows and highlights on the peach although you can't really tell where the shadows are. I also added shadows to the dragonfly and butterfly to make it seem more realistic. I then added shadows to the areas of the tree where the peach, dragonfly, and butterfly are. I tried adding shadows to the windows and the door but you can't really tell because of how small they are on the peach.
This was my first attempt at stop motion animation using the Stop Motion App. Ethan was my partner for this project.
We don't have a picture of our storyboard, but the plan was to mimic the game Snake. At first we were going to have the intro which said "SNAKE" written out in sticky notes and then have the animation like the original game. Every time he would eat an apple, he would grow more and more. We planned to do this until we got ten pieces of the snake, then he would eat himself and start from the beginning. After repeating the process he would run into the wall and it would be "GAME OVER" written out in sticky notes. It didn't exactly go this way as we never wrote out "SNAKE" and we never showed him running into the wall.
For the actual Stop Motion animation project I worked with John and Ethan. The supplies we ended up using were sticky notes. The part I did was actually recording the project, and it was really difficult to try and keep my phone from moving so the animation would stay still the entire time. It was also difficult trying to make sure everyone was out of the frame or we'd have to start over. This happened a couple of times.
If I could change anything about this project I would definitely change the place where we took the pictures. There was a lot of interference with people walking back and forth through the hallways. There also wasn't a lot of room to try to capture the whole animation. I believe this animation does tell the story it was supposed to. The main focus of the animation was the actual game of snake and we accomplished quite a few rounds of him eating the apple and growing. Unfortunately we weren't able to get the end where he ran into the wall in the actual video, but it was recorded.
