Another week bites the dust...

This week mostly what I learned was about animation. I learned about stop motion animation, claymation and pixilation. Stop motion animation is taking a inanimate object {e.g puppets} and animating it. Like in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "The Corpse Bride". Claymation is animation using clay. Such as "Wallace and Grommit". Finally Pixilation is using humans as "puppets" to animate a scene. So that's pretty much all we've really been learning this week.

Animation

Stop motion: (or frame-by-frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own.

Claymation: A service mark used for an animation process in which clay figurines are manipulated and filmed to produce an image of lifelike movement.

Pixilation: Movies. animation of people, where performers change their positions slightly between exposures of one or two frames each, to obtain a comic effect of jerky movement when the film is projected at normal speed.

These are the types of animation you told us about. So there they are...with definitions! Hurray!

This is the personal logo I designed.

Face to Face with Facebook

I think that the idea behind that is entirely wrong...that an employer could potentially decide on hiring you or not based on your facebook page. The page is a personal thing in a strange way...i suppose based on the fact that you are broadcasting it over the internet one migth think it wouldn't be personal but some of it is...there's also a lot of silliness behind it...it's not created to impress but simply to be...facebook is a tool...not a resume....

A New Kind of Animal...

This is a picture I created in Photoshop Elements. It is a new animal created out of images of several other animals. All of the animals I used currently can be found in Australia. I used a platypus' head and tail, a rare type of fish, and a crocodile's arm.
