Week 2 Outside of Class

Sequential Dreamscape


Homework: 
In 300 words (or more) write about a recent dream you've had or a dream you remember.

I had a dream one night, it was a long time ago. I remember waking up (in my dream) and going outside. It was sunny out and the sky was clear. It was summer time. The neighborhood consisted of just flat roads. It looked very cookie-cutter. The neighborhood was weirdly quiet..I don’t remembering noticing anyone else being outside. It was like I just woke up there. I remember stepping outside and noticing the flat roads before I noticed what was in the sky. When I looked up, I saw houses, cars, etc. They were all upside down, just floating. It wasn't a reflection of the neighborhood I was in. It was a completely different neighborhood, or just a street, upside down in the sky. It was really weird because it made me think that a UFO was floating in the sky. But it wasn't a UFO. I don't know why I would have a dream like that, but I thought it was really cool. I wanted to illustrate it at one point (I still do). I can still picture the scene in my head and what stuff looks like, but it's not a clear cut picture. If given a lot of time, I could probably illustrate it to a point where it would look like what I’m picturing.

Week 2A


This is my uploaded video on Youtube of my Black Line Animation. The video is supposed to represent an emotion we picked in class. I used Adobe Animate CC to complete this assignment. I have very little animation experience, so this is a new learning experience for me. It requires a lot of time and patience.

Update: This video is 54 seconds

Week 1A

Today was the first day of class for Intro Sequence, Motion, + Comm. So far, we drew simple animations and used them on an Animation Praxinoscope - "the 100-year-old optical toy which demonstrates the working principle of modern animations." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatrope) I drew a bouncing ball. We also drew two things that go together on a thaumatrope - "A disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to blend into one due to the persistence of vision." (http://www.mastermindtoys.com/4M-Animation-Praxinoscope.aspx) For the thaumatrope, I drew cookies in a cookie jar.
