Lab 20

In this lab I worked on making an animation on two cars that start from a vanishing point and as they go down they increase in size. Of course to make this animation seem realistic I added moving clouds and a sun. As the cars were moving faster they found a way to make the trees move due to the increase in speed.  All these aspects were put into play when making this animation. I will be honest when I say I could of managed my time better with this assignment, and there is always room for improvement. That is why I can say that I learn from this lab that over thinking things won't solve anything, it's best to go with what you know. One of the cars in the animation is one that I made, even though it isn't the best looking car, I made it from scratch. In the end I really enjoyed using various tools in this lab.

Lab 19

In this Lab I took an image of a pencil, made a vector shape of it using my tools in flash and with that image that I made I turned it into a symbol. After that I made a copy of that image and resized it to be bigger. With the resized image I broke it apart by doing modify>break apart, with that I changed the color of the pencil using my tools  I used various tools such as the brush tool, pencil tool, paint bucket tool, eraser tool( I used it a lot). I changed the pencil around as you can see below I have three different pencils. Honestly what I can say from this lab is that I learned a lot and just by changing the aspect of something, even if its the same thing, it can look significant better or worse.

Lab 9

In this Lab I took two pictures from the computer and used dreamweaver in order to create a rollover using the two images. A rollover is when you take an image and when you "rollover" the mouse over the image, it transitions into the second image. The way I did was by clicking insert>image objects>rollover images and from there I chose the first image and second image, made an alternate text and a link that would be possible when clicking the images. The Lab was fairly simple despite having broken the link a few times, but I learned that somethings require patience.

Lab 18

In thus lab I focused on playing around with a face I was asked to make. With flash I would move the stuff on the  face in animation. I basically moved the eyeballs, mouth and they all moved in unison. I used the oval tool many times and I added many key frames as well as quite a few motion tweens. The tweens were necessary in having the aspects of the face move. I made sure to add the key frame properly, because if I didn't then the animation would stop at a place that I will not want it to. I learned from this lab how to deal with simple movements on a face.

Lab 17

Lab 17
In this lab I was tasked on making a person and with that person(stick figure) I would  move the individual limbs in different frames to create an animation. A key frame was necessary of course, this is the point at where the animations stops. Though my animation did not come out so great, I felt it was quite humorous and attention grabbing, these are things I feel should feel incorporated in any form of work. I learned a lot from this lab and I had fun doing it.

 

Lab 16

Lab 16

In this Lab I basically had to make a face and move around different parts of the face such as the eyes. I used flash and with flash I used a motion tween to move individual parts, I also had to make the smiling face make a frown. This lab was surely simple but I learned a little about unison in animation. I did use the oval tool 3 times per eye and the line tool for the nose and mouth. By bending the lines, the point nose and mouth were possible.

Lab 15

In this Lab it was my first time using flash. Basically in flash I was required to make a background a ball using the oval tool. After that I would take advantage of the motion tween so that i could move the ball and each time i add the ball it would be a part of an animation. After moving the ball various places with the motion tween, I was able to make an animation, my first animation, in flash. From this Lab I learned the animators take time to make make even a 5 minute video. For a movie that would require years of production until it would be ready. I also learned about frames, there are 30 frames per second, I didn't know before I started using Flash.

Lab 14

Lab 14

In this Lab I was required to first interview my favorite teacher and based on their interests make a website for them to show my appreciation. The teacher I chose was Ms. Ha and the theme for her Website was dolphins.  There is a home page, about page and page for science videos and a link to Jupiter grades.  he website required time and effort, the links weren't hard to add but if I had more time or better time management then I would surely crop out the pictures better. According to the teacher she was satisfied with the website but there is always room for improvement.

Lab 13

                                                                  Lab 13
In this lab I was required to use CSS rule in order  to change font type, font colors, add  different effects an etc in dream weaver. The concept was not too hard however I can say that it took time since each code required time and effort. as for font style I reused the same style just different color. I learned that CSS can be really help when adding effect to a website. There are other CSS styles that I did not use in this Lab that I will make sure to incorporate in future work for web design. Like it says in the blue box below: CSS helps me complete something in Dreamweaver which would normally take me a long time to do , if not 10 minutes than more.

Lab 11-12

                                                               Lab 11-12

In this lab, which is directly related to Lab 10, I had to take my image of Batman and add detail to it using
like bevel and emboss and different sorts of filters to make it come alive as if it was an actual animation. This lab wasn't too hard and I did in fact learn a lot from this lab. What I learn was that detail is key to being successful in anything especially in art.

Lab 10

                                                              Lab 10

In this Lab we were asked to pick our favorite cartoon character draw him out out, scan him and redraw on the computer using fireworks. By using fireworks I was able to add the necessary detail and of course by using the original batman's color. I had to use various tools such as the paint bucket tool, quick selection tool, brush tool, zoom tool and of course the eraser tool many times(nothing is perfect).The crop tool was used as well to ensure that I could crop out the correct sections of the image. I learned from this lab that the role of an artist is extremely difficult. Not everyone can create a drawing and add cool and detail to make it look just as good if not better.
