GIF Animation

-





Here is my completed version of my GIF animation! For this project we needed to take a 30-second video and create an animation of it frame by frame! I had a lot of fun exploring with the different colors and backgrounds! The hardest part was tracing each individual frame. It took a lot of work and effort, but it was really cool to see how it all came together in the end. I really really like how this project turned out!

Fantastical Facts: GIF Animation Edition:
  • This project took more than 24 hours to complete! I had roughly 6 hours of sleep while doing this project...
  • Each GIF has around 90 frames which were all hand-traced in photoshop. 
  • The first background is an iceberg, the third is of space, and the last is of Mt.Fuji. All of them were slightly edited to fit the style that I wanted for the GIFs. 
  • One thing I have learned from working in Photoshop this semester is hair is a real pain! It was still hard for me to get the hair right on each layer, even with my hair pulled all the way back in the original video. 
  • Hall of Fame Piece 💫

As always, thank you for supporting this small artist and blog! I hope you enjoy the work as much as I do when I create it! Have a magical day!

It's My Party

  ***IMAGE FLASH WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO MOVEMENT OR FLASHING LIGHTS*** Here is my Illustrator Mandala project entitled, "It's My Party!" For this project we needed to take more complicated images than the Image Mandala and take them into Adobe Illustrator, simplify them, and make a mandala out of the images in Adobe Dreamweaver. These images were imported using Javascript files, so that way we were able to make cool changes to the images without having a disorganized code. Fantastical Facts: Illustrator Mandala Edition: This project is 6,261 lines total! This is by far the biggest project so far! A good amount of the lines were generated from Illustrator and then made into Javascript files, however, they are still counted in the total as they are referenced in the main source code.  It was a challenge in this project to find images that weren't too complicated so that way the code could run without crashing the computer. Luckily

Animation for Interactivity and Games Week 10

  This week in class, I worked on creating the maps for the final project. I created parts of the world that I would like the Critter Cubes to live in. I started with the village house above and I would like to create that into a party scene with more food on the table and decorations in the background. I would also like the Critter Cubes to jump around the table. I also worked on planning the other scenes and what shots I would like to take with them.

Fragmented Video- Doxies In Space

Here is my second project for my Multimedia Installation class! For this project, we needed to create a fragmented video with 6 to 9 squares all with footage that went together. I decided to step out of the box a bit and create a 6 canvas wide painting that when put together, makes one giant painting called, Doxies In Space ! I filmed the footage of myself painting it and made the clips into 6 sections to achieve the product. Fantastical Facts: Doxies In Space Edition: All together, the footage took a little over 2 hours to film and paint! Each clip had to be filmed one at a time, panel by panel. It took about a week of prep work as well, drawing on the canvases and getting all of the supplies set.  After each panel was filmed, I then converted all of the files over to my computer to save space. Because I filmed on my IPhone 8, I didn't have a lot of space to work with storage wise.  Once I had everything filmed, I made the panels using precise math in Premiere Pro. Then I edited e
