Bouncing Objects

Project 1 for Animation 2. Make two objects bounce, the first one had to be a round object of some sort and the second could be whatever. I decided to tie my two objects together instead of having to different scenes.

Assignment 1: Hercless

For my remix/mashup I decided to compare love scenes in two different movies, “Hercules” and “Clueless.” At first I thought this was going to be impossible since one is animated and one is live-action, but to my surprise they were almost the same. To successfully portray the similarities between the scenes I had to match the emotions of the “Clueless” characters to the movements of the “Hercules” characters.
I wanted to show the similarities between the two love scenes and how they play out almost exactly the same. Each scene follows a certain trend starting with the female starting something and the male trying to comfort her. Then the male makes a mistake in his words and the female gets upset. Finally the male comforts her and they finally kiss at the end. I thought it was funny that both movies followed this exact same pattern.

From here on out...

Anything past the date of this post will be for Cinematic Multimedia and Animation 2. Mainly for Cinematic Multimedia, but I figure I would post my Animation 2 projects as well since I need to get them out there. Hope you all enjoy them.

Movie Poster

For this next assignment we had to create a movie poster for a movie that we are either making or made up. I chose to make a poster about my upcoming animation project about dodge ball. I really like the graphic dodge ball and the lighting effects created by using the opacity setting. The balls texture is taken from another image, but reapplied with the healing brush. The credits font is called Steeltongs which I downloaded from the internet and was extremely helpful. The ratings logo was hand made from the line tool. I don't particularly like the title design or the font of the actors. The red and blue symbolize the two teams in the movie however. The font for the title is Impact and I think it correlates well with the meaning of the title. The slogan fits the poster and the movie overall.
