Digital Media: Calligram Project

 Dear Chris in 20 years,

  I hope you are still alive and well. From a standpoint 20 years in your past you had many ambitious goals and dreams, and I hope after 20 years you have begun accomplishing those. Right now I’m still in school working towards a degree and honing to develop the skills necessary to find a place in the entertainment industry. If everything goes right and I theoretically went down the exact path I hope to take, then the 20 year-older version of me reading this would hopefully be living in a nice house on a beach somewhere while actively working on some type of film/movie or piece of media. I would hope at some point during your time in college you managed to secure a nice internship related to animation or film and by graduation you were able to use that, and your degree to get a decently paying job. At least enough to cover the cost of living and keep yourself afloat. With time that job spirals as you work your way up in the ranks and take up more respectable positions on respectable projects. Eventually reaching the overarching goal of pitching, getting approved, and producing your own animated TV show. You could then rely on the show for as long as it runs and hopefully get work voice acting for said show. It’s always been a dream of mine to have my own show so if you manage to do that within 20 years, then whatever you do after is up to you. Obviously the future I hope you managed to reach was primarily focused on success through the workforce, but I also hope you have lived a little bit. I have ambitions to go and see the world, specifically the tropical areas of the world. I hope you have made it out a few times and seen some cool places, and hopefully you weren’t alone. I hope you have a family by this time, but if not that's understandable. More importantly I hope you are still in communication with our closest friends.  I’m sure a lot has changed; there were probably some losses, and probably many new members, but I hope the immediate family is overall doing well.

Final Project: Results

Image
I have now fully completed my project. It took hours of painting, especially Kanye because his filament was black, so I had to so many layers of red to get it to look full and matte. I spent a lot of time on detailing and they both look exactly as I had imagined them to. I also threw on some mod podge to give them the full glossy look. I am super proud of what I created, I think they are at a decently professional standard.

3D Animation Class Blog Entry #1

 Hello, this is my first entry for our 3D animation class and so far the class has been pretty solid. We have only met in class once so far so we haven't accomplished much in a class setting, but outside of class we have created 2 animations. Even though the animations are very simple I have always been eager to learn how to render 3D animations so this is pretty exciting stuff and I'm proud of what I have accomplished so far. The process itself was challenging and took a while to learn, but I have a lot of experience dealing with 2D animation so the hassle of keyframes and stuff wasn't anything new. Honestly the biggest obstacle I've faced so far is just turning in my projects because the dropbox has been difficult. I know we were only expected to turn in the playblast, but I was very curious what the animation looked like rendered so I taught myself and I'm glad I did because of how the results turned out. It is also very cool how we are learning to rig our own mo...
