Quarter 4 Project Product and Presentation The project was to create a invention and present it to a group of people like we were in an episode of shark tank. My team decided to make a doorway that could teleport you to your destination within seconds of stepping through. The project didn't take as long as I thought it would, I thought it would take longer than a couple of months.  Some of the challenges that my team and I faced were when we would finish everything we needed to in time and if it was good enough or not. Along the way I learned that even if something is messed up don't start over use it and take it as an advantage. Some feedback that we were given was that we didn't seem to have any enthusiasm in our voices during the practice presentations. So what I did to fix that is tell myself that the project is the best that we could have done and i'm proud of it, I didn't focus on what we could have done but didn't have the time. Overall my opinion o...

In this project we had to change the design of a website using Adobe Dreamweaver. This project was not that hard to do as long as you know what you are doing. We had a list and a couple of videos to watch. The top picture is the website without CSS styles and the bottom is with some minor Css styles. The only problem that I would have to say with the bottom one is the fact that the dog is going off of the screen. We started off with the top one then changed the font, text size, color, background and moved the dog and thats how we ended up with the bottom. when you go to the website you can click the word up at the top to switch between the page with and without Css styles. This project helped teach us how to use Adobe Dreamweaver and to become more familiar with it. Its used for more than designing websites. Its not that complicated or hard to understand. I know that there are a lot more things that I could do with Dreamweaver but until I can learn how this is all I can do. Its a l...

The other day I took a personality test and I got ESFP. Which stands for me being Extrovert(41%) Sensing(12%) Feeling(9%) Perceiving(6%). I've never really thought about what type of personality I have just the fact that I have one and not knowing how to explain it. I would say that this test is accurate. After taking this test I realized that this matches me pretty well. I am pretty extroverted when it comes to other people. Also adding up the percentages only equals 68% percent of my personality. That's ok it just means that there is more to know about me. There is a website where you can find celebrities with the same personality as you and its pretty cool. One of the actors that had my personality was Will Smith who is my favorite actor. Looking back at the roles he played in TV shows and movies I can see that we do have the same personality.  I took another test and it compares your personality to a Lion, Otter, Beaver, and a Golden Retriever. It was ...

In this project I learned how to make the 6-shots look better and not as shaky as before. We had an idea that a student was trying to sneak out of school but there are a couple of hall monitors in the way. My partners were great in the making of this video they really helped a lot. My partners were Alexander Evans and Gabrielle Martell. Alex was the main actor as he was the student trying to get out of school. I was the camera person but I had a minor role in the video as a security guard. Gabrielle also had a roll as one of the security guard and she helped me setup the shots and told me whatI was supposed to do regarding the camera.  The editing process was pretty easy with some minor bumps. Unfortunately I couldn't make it 45-60 seconds without having any clips be to long and boring. Alex had the idea that we would do a mission impossible kind of thing but we had to make a couple of changes. Along the way we added some ideas to the video like having Gabrielle watch the secur...

 My team had the idea to make a video about how to print for a school assignment but still make it a little funny. The story is that we printed a piece of paper and someone has to go get the paper. I was the camera man, Andrew was the actor, Alex planned the shots that we shoot. The editing took time to get used to since i have never used it before. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit this video. While making and editing this video I learned how to operate a camera on a tripod and all of the possible angles that make a great video. This took some time to make with some mistakes but we managed to finish. If I had to do anything differently I would make it less choppy and have the shots be a little more level. If I had to do something the same I would keep the music and the shots. If I had to experiences from this project it would be what shots work for a specific type of  movements, the music should match the pace of the character.

The point of these projects was to animate a little bit to get the hang of it and get familiar with Adobe Photoshop and with the types of animation there is. The process was a little slow first we had to make an outline of where the ball would go. Second we had to make multiple copies of the ball and make them have invisible. Then we had to take the frame pictures and turn the current one invisible and the next one visible over and over until we finished. Through out these projects I learned that photoshop could be used to create animations. If I had to do this differently i would make it less chunky and more smooth. I would keep the animations the same.
