For the second project checkpoint I will be animating. I’m not sure how much of a brainstorm blog this will be since I already brainstormed this in the past post. I have 3 main animations that I will be working on. Each animation has 3 different lineworks per each part that is going to be animated. I will go into After Effects and make compositions of the moving linework. Then I will put these compositions into one big composition in order to get the individual movements of t

For the first part of my independent study I spent my time working on the base images that will make up my animations. This included drawing, coloring, shading, and separating each individual part that I will animate. The way I animate is that I redraw frames about 3 times, looping them to create movement. I’ll do this with each part, then take these compositions in after effects to move them accordingly. For this part I also took experimental film and slowed them down to 5fp

For the first checkpoint of my project I tested out various animation softwares, drew my base image and separated it to animate, and tested around with different ways of interactivity. Final drawings VS original sketches: NOTE: I need to remove the polka dots from the blankets Separated files for animation: TEST ANIMATIONS: Animations were done in CapCut, which I have decided NOT to use for this project. I will use After Effects instead, but wanted to test out other softwares

https://trendfriends.substack.com/p/real-talk-ramisha-sattar For my first reading blog I didn’t want to read an article about a specific concept. I feel like when I took DA2 originally I focused more on the technical aspect of learning. I was more focused on learning the concepts that I found myself not putting the same energy into my ideation. I chose this article because it talks about Ramisha Sattar’s, also known as MishaSpice, creative process. I’ve always been drawn to

This semester I’ll be spending my independent study working on the final projection mapping exhibition. I plan to use each project as a major checkpoint. During the first project I will build the actual set up I will be projecting onto. Along with this I’m also composing the main illustrations for the animations used. For the second project I’ll animate each illustration, and during the final project I will be executing the final vision while making any tweaks not apparent du

Bass is normally associated with men. If you think about bassists, often people like Flea, Larry Graham, Jaco Pastorious, and Bootsy Collins all come to mind. However, there’s so many talented women that have built a backbone for the music industry. They’re shadowed by their male peers even though they’re just as talented, if not more. My piece includes eight various female bassists- Gail Ann Dorsey, Blue DeTiger, Carol Kaye, Esperanza Spalding, Melissa Auf de Maur, Kristen P

I’ve been a little lost on what I want to do for projection mapping, but I think after playing around in class with it I have an idea. My freshman year in Arts 1010 I created a linocut print of a bass with collages of various bassists in the back. When I was looking for something to projection map onto for practice I came across my bass, which then reminded me of this piece. I want to take the static mixed media aspect of that print and convert it into a moving image. My plan

As of the past year, I’ve found myself enamored with drawing fish. I’ve made zines and illustrations of all kinds of fish, including local freshwater fish, tinned sardines, redfish, jellyfish, and more. For this project, one of my fish drawings served as inspiration, which then led to me deciding to create a series of underwater sea creatures in Blender to make into a TikTok filter. I wanted to have simplified forms of these animals to make the modeling easier since this proj

Compared to Photoshop and other Adobe Creative Cloud products, the animation features are less limited, but they’re easy to learn for beginners. In order to open up an animation, you simply turn on the anim

With branding comes the importance of logos to communicate what a company is trying to portray. This article talks about the importance of a proper logo in regards to a brand's success. When Adobe talks about what makes a good logo they list the following: It’s unique, memorable, versatile, reflects the brand's identity, and is timeless. Coca-Cola is
