what i learned:

• i learned that flash takes a lot of frames for just a minute and a half long animation
• i learned that its not easy to make a short little animation on a scientific discovery it takes a lot work way more than i thought it would

what i want to learn in the future:

• i want to learn how make my animations feel to pop out more and surprise the viewer
• i still cant wait till we learn how to make 3D animations

what frustrated me this week:

• what frustrated me this week was the science animation project my eyes got so tired while working on it
• another thing was when i read that princess article honestly i dont see why people care about ethnicity so much its not that big of a deal what race someone is the should be treated with the same feel no matter what there race

what made me happy this week:

• one thing that made me happy was getting to say Happy Birthday Alex!!!!!!!!!
• another thing that made me happy was hearing Paul's silence lol just kidding what really made me happy was getting some many frames done in my animation

i chose this vid because it uses a lot of animation and also its called bloodlust what holiday could be close enough that a vid about vampires be a must need in your life lol but it does use a good amount of animation and it has its own kinda story behind it.

Disney new princess post

The ethnicity of a new Disney princess:

what i learned:

• I learned that people really care of the ethnicity of a character
• i also learned that disney is making a new princess (wich i honestly dont care about)
• i also learned that just because disney didn't call her a latino princess people got all pissy about it

opinons:

• i like the idea that disney tries to relate to other cultures in there films
• i didn't like how people over reacted toward the ethnicity of a fictional character

Question:
         does it really matter what the princesses ethnicity is?

film directing tips post

Film Directing Tips:
what i learned:

• i learned that directors just tell the camera man and designers and such what they want to feel from there shots and costumes
• i also learned that the kinda of directing they use on cameramen and such doesn't work on the actors
• i did learn that the most important tool a director has is there voice i thought there might be other tools but i guess not

Opinions:

• i liked how directors use there voice to get there points across 
• i don't like how directors get to say they made the movie when others actually did in a physical way did more work on it then the director did

Question:
               why do directors have to speak differently to actors then everyone else its kinda weird?

i chose this amv video cause it actually is a good example for the use of shapes and motion so i think its a good supporter of animation techniques in my opinion

weekly comments post

What i learned this week was how annoying animation principles can be.
                   what i want to learn in the future is how to perfect using the animation principles.
                                   the only thing that frustrated me this week was when i tried using the bone tool for certain parts
                                                 what made me happy this week was thinking this will all eventually help me with my dream of making video games hopefully.

ParaNorman post

i learned that they wanted to make the world seem bigger than usual in stop motion, i also didn't know that they used replaceable faces, i also didn't realize that close ups that were used were unusual to stop motion. i liked how in depth he went in explaining the processes they used in the movie, i also liked how they used replaceable faces in the movie thats cool. I was wondering though how did they get that like green transparent look to the ghosts.

Star trek the Next Generation post

i learned how that theres alot of series and movies of star trek, also learned that its very popular, i also learned that nerd culture is now pop culture. One thing i didn't like is how they just talk so much about star trek i really dont like it to me its boring, one thing i did like though was how they explained how far its come through the years. Why was this article only about star trek anyway?
