Hey everyone, first posts are comin' out like crazy and It's harder than you'd think to read em all. But I've read a good half of them so far. I really enjoyed the ones I have so far.
Moving on.
Okay, so-I don't know about you guys-this week seemed hectic for me. I was racing all over the place. Incredible how much has happened over just a week. So much home work already, and pretty much in every class as well. But I did it all and now it's calmed for the most part.
Well, this week I learned several interesting facts/topics/subjects/etc about animation that I probably never would of thought about until now. For example, I learned about the several jobs that comes in the digital media department. Unlike many of you guys, I haven't looked into animation until now, so I'm definitely behind on all this. But I'll catch up soon. We also went over the dreaded Safety rules, Copyright Laws, and took several tests/quizzes. But in return, we got to drown our parents with plenty of information sheets to fill and sign. I'm pretty sure my mom wanted to go on a rampage about that since she had just finished eating dinner when I had bombarded her. Oopsies.
In the upcoming months of class, I am not only interested in learning how to animate, or the neat tricks that come with it, but especially about all of you guys. Despite not really being a fan of blog sites and related websites, this is a good chance for me to get involved I guess. What I really want to learn is about the several different styles of drawing/animating and how to add cool effects to the animation. LOTR is very inspirational on that end.
So the frustration was high for all of us this week. For me, it was the homework and the house scene. I had had over half of the original scene done(as sloppy looking as it was) and the very next day everything had vanished. I had saved it, and it opened just fine, but none of what I drew was there. It was very daunting to start from scratch. Now we have to do flip books.. Not sure how this is gonna turn out but we'll just have to see about that.
I think the best event that happened was the very first day. Learning about everybody and their hobbies kinda made me feel a lot more homey. When I think about my reasoning to join, it was the hopes that I'd find more students around my area that are into the same/similar activities as me. So I'm really excited that I was able to be one of the few students accepted into these classes. It's a real honor.
Now for the link of interest! So I was browsing around, hoping to find something that might just help me get started and some simple tips. It doesn't go into the greatest detail but it did help clear up how to time the frames. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Flipbook
Have a great weekend everybody and see ya all on Monday!
