Final Evaluation

                          Final evaluation

My Final design for My materials techniques and designs was a photo-shop animation of a meteor destroying a planet showing off a large kaboom with the word kaboom afterward because are target was to creation one aimed at the word kaboom and how to show it off.

1 Be able to explore materials, techniques and processes safely

Using photo-shop was a lot harder to make an animation than using flash where I have had more time with using although it took me a while to get used to it I was happy with what I made in the short time I had.

Instead of using images from the internet I decided to use brushes to make land and add texture through more brushes and using the burn and dodge tool which would allow me to make it more realistic as-well as give me the skills of using brushes

2 Be able to use materials, techniques and processes

After I looked at some other peoples animations for kaboom it showed me how I could improve it and change it for the better like instead of making a meteor just moving I use a mix of blur and sharpen tools to make it look like it is moving at a very high pace

Whilst making the animation I only used my mouse and keyboard keys where I should of used a interactive tablet to draw with which would give me another skill as-well as being able to move the brush and other tools more flawlessly

3 Understand the suitability of materials, techniques and processes

The Research was done only on You-Tube where many animations have been done my thousands of people around the world with different styles and tastes where I choose one to research on feather which one based on call of duty

The only problem I had with my work was the ability to save it since the computer is normally slow it kept crashing so I had to save every half hour so I wouldn’t lose my work I had been working on ever so hard once I had finished the animation its self I added in some music and sound effects which would make it more interesting to watch instead of it being quiet and boring.

Blog:

For the blogger there is a nice use of research and some experimental work, there are also placed videos to show what Jordan has done which gives a better perspective of what he has done instead of pictures. The layout of the blog is easy and assessable to use and there are no problem to follow the blog.

For the final:

I like the final video animation there are good uses of bright colours but I had some difficulty understanding the animation but I enjoyed it. The background use created by Jordan gives a greater feel to the animation and make the animation unique.  

My Animation

 

This is my animation for my materials techniques and processes work with kaboom innovation and tradition in art and design, i did this video on photo-shop rather than flash so i could test myself between the differences of how it is all ran and the layout.

The process of this animation started with the use of creating a stage where the animation would take place in an enviorment that would make sense to the viewer .

Firstly making the space like image in the background was simply done but a star brush and in each frame i would increase the opacity of the stars to make it seem it was getting brighter and dimmer through out of the animation.

Creating the asteroid was a lot harder than it looks due to making it look like it was moving rather than a still image getting pulled across the screen which wouldn't look real at all and also wouldn't be a good animation so i took the color of an asteroid from the internet and added into to a ball and distorted it as much as i could and used photo shops animation software to make it seem like it was shooting across the screen into a planet i created with a brush with and coated over with the burn tool which gave it the planet like texture.

Because i didn't think my animation was good enough i deiced to add in a song which would distract the viewer from the animation and make them focus on the music insted.

This is the group animation done by myself martin, Alex, Jake and will by the use of stock motion animation with blue-tack and a basic camera with tons of editing, we all took part in making the animation each with are own characters

the animation itself is rather short but making it took a good hour or two to get what we desired as a group we were happy with what we came up with but would make it a lot longer if we got the chance in the future.
