e9 Final Post

The scope of the project was to come up with a product and create a commercial an animation and a website with various things on it. Before we just started making some of the things we had to do before that was storyboarding our commercial and sketching our logo. I learned how to better work with a team during this project.

Something I would do differently is I would touch up some of the graphics I made so that they looked better. Something I would do the same is that I was able to get everything done on time so trying to get everything done is something I would try to do. From this project  I would take my experience as working as a team because in some aspects it was easier to have a team but I always worried that someone might not get something done.

Dream House

In this project I had to create a dream house that had to have detail by having things like an overhang. I was using Google sketch-up to create this house. Before I started the house I had to think of what it was kind of going to look like. When I started making it I just made a simple rectangular house shape then continued to push and pull until i got details like the roof. While I worked on this I learned that you have to make sure to pay attention to every side of the shape or else one side could end up just blank white. I also learned how to use Sketch-up because going into it I had very little idea how to use it but I knew what it was so that helped. Something I would do differently is give a little more detail to the backside of the house because it is just a boring brick material wall. Something I would do the same is my door and windows because I think that they look really nice. I will use this experience to help me in my next project because now I know what just a little bit of detail can do to something. I had fun with this project i enjoyed putting my own creative design in to something.

Keynote Animation

I used keynote to create all of the slides for this animation. Once I had the slides done I exported the slides to images then imported those images into imovie where I could then add sounds effects and make slides longer or shorter.

My First Animation

My animation is about a crane with a wrecking ball destroying a building and the building is sad about being destroyed but in the end he gets his revenge. I used the pen tool a lot which allows me to draw what I want and then i can align it along what I want using different points on  what I drew. I also used the interface on the right to fill in shapes with color and edit shadows and borders. Some things people like about mine were how I made my clouds and my story. Two things they said I could improve on is have my clouds moving more and have my building do more than just stand there.
