ppp3 Copyright

In this seminar i learned a lot about copyright symbol and what it does for creative artist like myself.

Copyright is essentially giving the right to the owner who produced something.

this can be the following:

Films
Games
Animation
Music
Computer app
Drawings and illustrations

Anything that has been produced independently or collaboratively can be copyrighted
and can last over 70 years after the person has died which is important to many music artists and film producers.

there are many rules that stop people from copying peoples work and that you can act against them to either compensate to what they have copied or make sure they don't do it again, but on the other hand it can be used to tell them to publise the work but not claim the characters as their own and to give credit to the original artist.

In the uk there is no registration system to copy right so where ever we post we need to make sure that the site has some kind of copyright which can be recored on the work.

If people were to copy something they should ask the original artist so that if the work is being copied with the artists consent it won't cause much of a problem.

this has told me a lot and hopefully i will make sure that each piece of work i make should be copyrighted on websites that have the system to protect my work from others which has happened to my piece but the person who did apologised for not noticing the copy right symbol.  

ppp2 presentation

In this seminar we learned that a presentation is a story or a journey to give information to the viewer. it is important to make it clear and understandable to the viewer. which is basically getting straight to the point.

Another reason for making a presentation is to gain feed back which is important for future developmentand and for constructive criticism which can help to convey meaningful information to the viewer.

In order to create a presentation we need to plan everything we want to showcase or discuss so that we can easily order the presentation and will make it easier to produce.

If we are going to present a project we need to first explain who we are to the viewer, giving them a bit of information which allows them to understand what your position is. Then showcase what you have done and give them information for each thing that is presented.

Then explain how you got to this stage of the final result. the presentation should not be about myself but rather in this case should be about the project I'm presenting.

I've learned a lot from this seminar and i hope to produce clear and understandable presentation which will hopefully push my confidence to showcase my work.
 

ppp1 Reflective practice

In this similar i learned about how to reflect on everything i produce and evidence in my blog.
pattern to follow:

-Look at what I've done.
-Evaluate the result, and produce more idea
-Re-do what you have done with the improvements.
-make sure its done in the best quality.

With the following method above I'm sure I will be able to mange to look at my work and try improve it as much as i can before making the final product which goes with everything i will be doing this year.

I will also once finished my animations critically analyse it and make an action plan which will hopefully improve the future projects.

Adman

One of the produces from Adman came into to speak to us about how Adman started as a company and what films they have developed in the last year. In this case they showcased the shawn the sheep movie. As you can see in the above picture we have the main three protagonist looking towards everyone in class.

Within this session i learned a lot about the behind the scenes and this included the development of a story to then producing story boards. form this we then move on to reanactment stages  where the main animators react the scene so that they could use it as a reference when they are animating the particular scene.

The producer showcased many videos of the preproduction's stages so that we can see how they went about creating some scenes such as when bitzer is running up the hill, they had to do it in stages and then place all the footages together on After effects and this allowed them to get rid of the blue screen they had in some of the scenes.

I've always wanted to understand how they do this and now that we've seen how its done i would like to try and develop my skills in doing more stop motion.

i took many more pictures of the models but this picture above was my favourite shoot because all the models are put in a piston where they are scared.

Kung Fu Panda 3

I recently watched Kung Fu Panda 3, and i really enjoyed how their was a learning curve for Po and for the audience. The lesson to be learned is to believe in yourself and you will be able to achieve pretty much everything.

The Animation starts of with master Oogway resting in the spirit world and suddenly a legendary warrior comes to attack master Oogway and within this short fight scene we find out that this legendary warrior called Kai has taken all the Kai (spirit powers) from all the great masters in the spirit realm, this causes master Oogway some trouble and makes it harder to defeat Kai. near the end of the fight Kai puts master Oogway at a disadvantage which stops him from being able to attack and Kai takes this chance to defeat him by taking master Oogway kai.

Kai then transports himself to living world where he wants to defeat the dragon warrior, within this time Po has been told that he is a master and should now teach the furious 5 which was a challenge because he didn't know how to teach.

I dont want to spoil the rest of the story but the last fight could of had more impact in my opinion. Besides that i really loved how Po learns the truth and is able to fight off against many foe's who stand before him.

The animation at the beginning where Kai vs master Oogway was just brilliantly constructed, the imagination that the animators had for the spirit realm was just perfect, i loved how they used all these different effects that don't apply to the real world. Im going to observe this short clip below and try to understand how they develop these effects.
