Final Project Discussion

1)That I was/am not the only one who has issue getting an idea going and I am not the only one who has issues with Chris Evans playing Captain America and The Human Torch. Everyone is also shooting from the hip for this final piece as well. I think we are all a lil brain dead.

2) My final project is just the use of the word Strike and all its variations. I am going to have some fun with this one. Everything else I have do was relatively serious so I just want to enjoy this one. I think "strike" is also one of those words that is considered violent, and it is but it can be used for some good old slap stick humor. *shrugs*

3) I have no idea at this moment! I may have to change my project idea for this and the former to actually occur. Because I am illustrating to a certain extent, however, I do believe that if I put strike into context rather than just have it in its current state it may work.

4) A NEW IDEA! bah! Wait I can tell a story! I am going to animate the single words accordingly with images then produce a story from those base words. So I get my entertainment, the work was not written prior to the animation, and it can and may become some what serious (still doubtful on this one)

What did I learn?
I learned ALOT about layers, blocking the stage and that you can even take a crappy work of art and make it good! I wrote the Haiku in like 5 minutes with zero actual though put into it or meaning behind it, so the text itself is meaningless to me but the work put into the animation does have a lot of expressive power.

2-3days more.


I would defiantly get the text issue sorted out. The text that this computer converted my binary code to ruined those frames for me. I would add some more time into that section as well. There are small places where I made errors but unless you watch it 2-10 times you may or may not notice. The top of the human head is one of them. i cut part of it off without realizing it before I cut it up and did all the work.

start again.
Actually plan it out rather than just taking the idea from my head and putting it strait into the stage.
