Photoshop Workshop

 

 

   I really enjoyed today's photoshop class. I learned how to get rid of watermarks on photos and cut out backgrounds. It was great, I think I'm going to do more experimenting with this as I really enjoyed it and want to learn more. This is what I did. The first photo is the original and the second photo is my edit. I changed the contrast slightly and added clouds and of coutrse the red pole and two plants. I also got rid of the water tower which I found really cool to do.

2d Ball Splash

Nothing special, just practicing with flash.

Spirit Bear Animatic

   This is my final animatic, I found this so fun to make, I loved using Premiere and learning how to use it. I think I should have taken more care in making each frame look to a similar standard as the others but apart from that I'm quite proud of it! I liked doing this and can't wait to explore premiere more.

2D Flash Walk and Dive

   I'm so happy with this, although it was quite rushed and it's not perfet., I was really worried about the splash and I did each frame really rough but when I played it back it actually works. I do think that the splash could be a lot bigger and more exaggerated and my drawing of the person could be a lot better but overall I think its an 'okay' piece of animation. I'm really enjoying 2d at the moment.

Yawning Casey 3D

 

   I tried this before and found myself getting really frustrated and found it really challenging. This time however, it wasn't that bad. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Yes, it could do with some improving but for now I'm pleased.

Life Drawing

I'm actually shocked at how much I'm enjoying life drawings at the moment, even though I haven't gone into much detail I am just happy with my overall shapes. These life drawings are going so much better than I expected and I'm starting to feel a little more confident now.

Storyboard - Spirit Bear

 

My storyboard so far. It's not great and my storyboarding skills are quite poor as I am relatively new to this but I have loved using the wacom tablet to do this and I'm just starting to get used to photoshop so, yeah. I'm quite looking forward to making an animatic of this after christmas! Hopefully I'll get this storyboard finished by friday, what busy week!!
