weekly post 19

This week I experienced my first major hiccups using flash and it was extremely annoying, it took me about 2 hours correcting it. The bright side is I'm now a skip, hop, and a jump away from finishing and that is something we all can be thankful for especially with the no late policy that was implemented but at least we are all truing it in for full credit.

unorthodox film ideas

From what I can tell there are two types of film makers the kind with money and the kind with out and they are expected to put out the same level of work. This article is for those who don't have a lot of money and need a good studio to work in.  Joey Shanks is highly regarded for extremely professional looking videos and he fall under the type that has little money meaning he has what I assume are good tips. First off use cardboard to block unwanted light, I know this is important to filming due to the multiple articles I've read that said so. Other  lighting tips in clued the use of a dimmable head lamp and use a wire less lamp with the bulb smashed for cooler effects. lastly tip is to tie ankle weights to the bottom to keep them from falling and placing the cables under stand to keep them from being pulled over.
final question "how many camera lenses do we use next year?"

The Pixar 10

the was a top 10 list from people that work at Pixar in the so naturally all of the advise was good. First off it was recommended do research through either   drawing or video. The next step is to get a good work flow going, the easiest way to do that is to work with a less complex model in order to map out the seen and keep working till its finished and then add the complex model to the seen. I like the idea of that approach because, if I had the time mind you, I think I would use it and I would assume it make my animation much better. Lastly the article said when you get to confused or disoriented scrap the seen and try again, an idea I'm not to fond of due to its time consumption. 
final question  "did you see monsters university?"
