Before watching the movie: Post on your blog about the movie. Title of the movie Production company How was the stop motion completed? (ex. 3D printing, clay, wire, mixed media, other) Who were the main people working on the stop motion of the movie? Give a short bio to at least 1 of those people. (other movies, education, location, what they are known for..) What is special about the movie? (largest puppet, first to use 3D printing or style) Insert (not a link) a video of a behind the scenes clip. What draws you to this movie? What do you find interesting about the movie? (Style, theme, subject) During: Take mental notes about the style of the film and its characters. Is there a color theme? Do the characters have exaggerated features? Where does it take place? How do the characters interact with the scenery? Ect. After watching the movie: (To start on Monday) Design a character based off the movie you watched. It can be someone from the story but not seen, in a sequel, or related to one of the characters in some way. (ex. Long lost brother, baker from the town, Consider the style of art in the movie when designing them. Who are they? What role do they play in the story? Must include: Deciding features page (From video) Full body Detail shot 2 or more angles Explain who your character is and how they play into the story. Explain your process to make this character. What things do you find successful and what might you change for next time. 1.) What did you find most difficult about the 3-D process? During the 3-D Designing Process, I found out that a very critical aspect of fabrication is measurements. In most 3-D printing programs, I found that they utilize metric (millimeters) and not imperial (inches). Scaling within the initial program and design process is absolutely critical. 2.) What did you find successful about your piece? Measurements aside, the actual piece was easy to recognize. Given that the piece was essentially a dog-tag, I was able to reuse the same basic shape to create two more versions. 3.) Explain your piece? What was you inspiration and how did you come up with it? For the Data Chip Dog Tags, I drew inspiration straight from my favorite game series, Titanfall. The Protagonists and Antagonists of the story, the Titan Pilots, came in ten different generations. As a result, each generation of pilot has their own Data Chip. The Data Chips that I used in the picture are those of the Generation Ten Pilots. At the moment, I am currently revising the Generation 7 Pilot Data chip so that it can be sent off for printing. However, as always, measurements and layers play a huge role. 1.) What did you think of the project? I personally think that the project was very fun! Utilizing straight lines and Vectors to their full potential is something that I immensely look forward to using in the future. If the option was available to me at home, I would most definitely use Vectors in my projects more. 2.) How is your piece successful and what might you change in the future? I would have to say that the Origami Hummingbird turned out fairly well. After stumbling through the effects and trying to find the gradient tool, I was able to finally get the coloring decently correct. In the future, I would most likely try to take more time in designing the piece. The only reason for doing so would be to avoid having to redo and undo the drawing over and over again as I did with this one. The project was fun and I would be more than happy to do another project involving Vectors again! |
