Game Over - Induction Project




September 2017

Our first assignment was a project entitled “Game Over” where we were asked to provide a news and press report about a story set in the future (2037) when all video games have been banned. The idea was to discover our creativity with respect to dystopian future ideology in the arena of artistry, gaming, special effects etc.

Each team consisted of 5 members with different roles – I was assigned news reporter and poster creation in Photoshop in addition to filling in where needed on other tasks. I designed 2 posters in Photoshop depicting a dystopian future, but still giving the information we have now found - that gaming is actually good for the human race promoting greater intelligence, better reactions, developing brains with regards to strategies etc. My Posters were well received by the team and I thought my ideas were good.

Our news report had 3 shots – one of which was done in the studio where due to one teammate illness, I volunteered to help out with sound production, the second shot was done outside in the college grounds and thus we spent time researching a suitable location. The last shot was done on the computer - showing a series of images that we called “the aftermath”.

Overall, I think my team and I did a good job on this project. It was our first time doing something like this. Although we have encountered a few problems with the camera and filming the second shot (which led to having to redo it the next day), we still managed to keep a positive mind and worked hard to get it done in time.

See below for the final composition.

Maya - Modelling Mjolnir (Thor's hammer)

Image
Mjolnir SUMMARY This model was fascinating to do because it involved using many different tools which took a lot of time researching on the internet. This was a very time consuming project not only because there was a lot to learn and a lot to do, but also because I decided to use a drawing program to create the curves for the ornament details. I found this technique on the internet whereby I could draw curves in a drawing program such as Photoshop or CorelDraw and then export them as EPS (encapsulated postscript) file. This was easier than trying to model the curves directly in Maya. However, I obviously had to install the drawing program and to do that I also had to upgrade my internet explorer and to do that...............(Further, I wish I had found out earlier that I could have used Photoshop to create EPS Files as then I would not have had to install CorelDraw and learn a bit of that because I already know Photoshop a little - Grrr!). In total with the reinstallin...

Animation Skills - Exercise 4

Image
Walk Animation For this week's assignment we were asked to produce an animation of  a character walking. Obviously to be able to produce any animation, one has to understand the mechanics involved in the actual event we are trying to animate, be it a living being or a mechanical object. Studying a character we can see that the legs have hip, knee and ankle joints to facilitate movement. The animation starts from the hip joint, followed by the knee joint and finally the ankle joint to move the legs in opposition one leg after another. In addition to the legs moving, the arms do similarly alternating in opposition to each leg. I therefore created approximately 10 drawings in different stages of the cycle showing mostly the hip joint and shoulder joint movement with some movement of  elbow, knee and ankle. These 10 images were drawn in Adobe Animate and a complete cycle was created with a key frame for each image. In addition one of the mechanics of walking ...
