still working

This day I was so busy to do my animation. My plan is to finish it in this weekend. The animation was almost done, so I think I can finish it in right time.
So this pics is the 3d robot that I made. Its working by cinema 4d. Firstly I key the key frame for the robot.

Then I render the psd file for every frame. This would be combine by AE. 

Finally I add all the details and the robot together.  

This is the basic process for 3d part in my animation. To do a whole animation is not easy things, we should working hard and hard. good luck for me and good luck for everyone.  

New shot

The new shot that i just finished.

Yesterday I did the tutorial there are some feedback
1. I should rewrite the 500 words about all the things that I learned during the course.
2.I should give all the peers project feedback.
3.I show the final show idea to Andy, he give me some useful suggestion. My final show will use Flip book to present the interactive movie. Andy said I should keep simple but make it best. So that I abandon high technology support, keep the project simple and focus other thing in the show.
4. More communication with others

For me I should finish my animation as soon as possible, then i can start to test my Flip book.

Killer Tears-Flip Book

Killer Tears
Miguel Rothschild
73 Flip Books
Killer Tears by Miguel Rothschild consists of 73 small filpbooks with signed black-and-white photographs. Every book contains forty frames and together the 73 books make up a long cinematic story. Each book begins with a page of text as an introduction to the picture pages. A reference to the blocks of text of the silent movies.
These film is present as an installation. The small books are fixed to a shelf with a thin chain. It goes along the walls of the show room. Small dialogues are written on the covers of these books. The visitor walks along the shelves, and gives movement to the scenes between his thumb and forefinger.

The reason I post this because in the final show I will make the interactive movie in this way. My flip books will follow the muti-structure to present the story. In the show I want use light to point next step of the book. For the music my idea is - when audience take the book the book will touch off a switch to open the light. This will be control by Arduino.
Flip book is the old way to watch the movie but this also funny and interactive way. Audiences watch the movie by them own hand. At present, movie is made by filmmaker, audiences can not control the movie process. They can not get beyond the senses to the visual. However the propose of my project is to give the audiences more sensory enjoyment using the flip books from allows them to control the course of this film by themselves.

This is the tutorial about how to make a flip book. I searched from http://www.computerarts.co.uk/

It shows the details of making process. After the research, I will put the plans into practice.

AE plug-in

Today I want recommend a AE plug-in call Magic Bullet Looks. The plug-in is handle the video's colour effect. This plug-in is very easy to use. The software included lots of presets. who work for video should try this.

In my video I use this plug-in to adjust video colour.

who ate the water apple

I make the water apple today. the idea come from waste water. in the pic the apple be bite with someone. as we all know water can't be bite but someone just ate the water like apple. this all about avarice. and we don't know who did this. because the one did this will never accept the blame. just like some company or people.

this is the process. made by cinema 4d.

justification－cloud eye

Cloud with 8 eyes that means the god will look at u when u doing something. Why I use 8 eyes was inspiration by the 8 planets in our milky way. 

In this animation the god never forgot the event happened in the world. 

justification－screen design

Today I will explain the screen design that I used in my animation. In this shot I make the film element out of the wide screen.  Because I want the audience focus on the main character and don't ignore the details from the shot. Wide size screen is very popular in cinema, it is much wider than 4:3(TV) size that means people can get more space to look. But in my movie I used the wide screen to highlight my main element. When I make the animation I found this design is much better than normal wide screen and it's more dynamic. So that i use this kind of wide screen.
