the colorist effect

The use of color is in credibly important to all aspects of media, even more so in movies. the use of a colorist can make you film look like it was done like a professional. What the colorist dose is coordinate what the films color so all the scenes so they blend seamlessly and make sure the world looks as realistic as possible. Their other job is to use color to enhance emotion in  scenes using color to accent and highlight the performances.  Through this method film makers are able to create the worlds they want and make it look as if it could have been filmed in your back yard.
I love the idea of having another pair of eyes evaluating the choices made in the final produce and colors has never been my strong point. Of course I really like the idea of making the colors in a film look realistic, because the only thing I hate about indie films is the lack of good realism witch I realize now is because of the color.
final question; can Keven do this?

weekly post 3

This week marked the end of the worth 1000 morph project and begins the last Photoshop project of the year, the montage, and the requirements that have to be met are, in a word, irritating. The need of a digital photo and a scan is bothersome and I have little idea of how to incorporate them into the overall art work. I was really happy when I finished the worth 1000 and with how it turned out. I also learned a great deal about the clone tool and how to arrange the layers in an order that doesn't conflict with each other. Lastly I really need to get a copy of the blog requirements because I can't find mine and I keep forgetting to grab another.

Michel Moore

I feel this article is meant to pertain more to the future project about making a documentary. The tips Moore gave were good none the less and, as I've said before, I like lists there easy to write about. The first thing is to make the movie entertaining. Don't just spit facts blindly make them fun and interesting to here about, try to be both funny and informative. The next tip is to take the route less traveled, instead of telling the same story as others try to find a new angle to express and try to pick something original. The last part and arguably the most important the filming its self, try to get people that disagree with you on camera and try to set the mood right by going with your gut feeling. (On a side note sound is very important)
Personalty I liked the tips Moore gave and I found them all to be very insight and I could tell he had a lot of passion for what he dose. Lastly this article felt really long but not I a bad way.
final question; what are some good documentary topics?     

weekly post 2

This week was great for production I loved the whole work day and I was so happy I could finish Two protects in the time allowed  and now i can focus my full attention on completing the next project. My only complaint is my lack of ideas and I'm worried I won't be able to find an image that are capable of being combined in a way that looks natural. I really hope finding a tutorial is easier than finding the image.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsW0FinSkdk I found this video when I was researching the hullabaloo animation site I feel it describes how all fights over woman end. It's also realy funny but remember I have the sense of humor of a two year old.

A through back with a veteran

James Lopez is one of the animator that worked on the lion king and Hercules who has a personal love of steam punk and hand drawn animation. He desisted to take theses two loves and combining them to make the new hand drawn animation called Hullabaloo. All thought it doses require about $80,000 in start up Lopez is hoping it becomes something more than just a short like a full laugh movie but to do that he needs a lot of money and he is looking into ways to do that (kick starter for one)
The next part of the article talked about the stile of hand drawn animation and the details about the project. First off the idea of steam punk is under utilized in almost all cinema the only thing in recent years is a Japaneses film and it was only a regional thing, never making it to the states. Next is the uses of a female protagonist, this isn't any thing new not since Frozen nut its good to know that the trend is continuing. Lastly the amount of money they are asking for is not much so I really hope the film is made and is free to watch otherwise I feel that its ripping of the people who donated.
Final question; Do you think Lopez is gonna make it into a movie?

weekly post 1

And it begins, the long stride towards the end of the year when the when i no longer have to write theses things. This week  the only thing we did was demos and intro's witch felt like starting over from last year. We went from being able to animate a script to having to work on Photoshop learning to use the crop tool. I will say this once on the record I really do miss animation thought I looking forward to getting to film thing and using the camera, fingers crossed I don't break anything.    

The first 6 tips lists of the year

The tips professionals and recruiters give are the best way to improve your work and increase your chances of getting hired. First off the typical make an impression, the company that is going to be viewing your video has lots more to do, so grab their attention within 30 seconds and you have a shot. Next you should only include your best work this can be the difference between your new office terminal and the unemployment line (the optimal amount of video is between two and three). The last thing to remember is to be your own person, don't just copy the trends and try to be the next version of some famous director or animator. Make the work you do stand out on its own and try to keep in mind who you are trying to work for (in other words don't send Disney a horror real). Over all these tips are nothing you won't here form any one else who has connections in the business, so in my highly regarded opinion TAKE THE ADVISE.
Final question; dose the 5 second rule only apply to  food or can it be used in conversations as well?

The Order and Cinamatic

The order 1886 was delayed twice and now I finally now why. From what IGN tells me the game is not using pre-rendered cut scenes, instead the scenes are rendered in real time. Factor in all the problems that causes and the addition of cinematography it doesn't come as a surprise.
 Through the replication of a "lens" the creators were able to gain the illusion of depth of field and focus. Through this system the people at ready at dawn are able to recreate some of the visual imperfections that are created by real films. Through the use of theses tool the studio hopes to better manipulate the players emotions to better complement the story, this way the players emergion  increase with less effort and the same emotional experience ac be shared by multiple people. All and all Ready At Dawn uses the new tool to make the shots feel real and that is something everyone can appreciate, with these tool my be the industry can shy away from killing of characters to enhance the drama (looking at you call of duty). Its high time some one tried making the games look more realistic with out trying to up the resolution, Here's to something different and hoping it works out for them.        
Final question; do you think we can play the game in class?
