Audrey Young

This quarter was interesting to say the very least. I had to deal with so much stupidity, bullcrap and drama that I'm just so exhausted. I had to make a product with three, okay no TWO other people, since one didn't even do anything. The product was a virtual reality vine glasses, or as we like to call them, Vinels. essentially, we had to make a commercial, animation, website, and logo. we had to do so much, and I had to do most of the work.  I acted in the commercial, made some of the animations, made the logo and let everyone else do the website. the entire project took overall the entire quarter. we endured a lot of challenges. for one, out "leader" couldn't even lead, so I had to do it. second, I did a lot of the work and ideas. I probably could have done this aline. three, one of our workers didn't even contribute, and someone from another group had to help. might I add, said person wasn't even a part of our group, so I don't ...

oh my god... I've said it so many times it isn't even funny anymore, but this one. this project... this... HOUSE... was by far the most painstaking, longest, and the most TEDIOUS project I have ever done in e9 so far.  the satisfaction that washed over me when I realized all I had to do was paint... it was absolutely remarkable. The feeling of content when I realized I was done painting... treasuring. The moment when I rendered the final frame... the gratification... Just stunning. (in case you're wondering, this is my house) alright, so...? I heard the rumors from other animation students that this was the hardest project in e9. I took heed to this advice, but I also took it with a grain of salt, it couldn't be too hard, right? I already made multiple chairs. I felt like a master of sketchup. oh, dear sweet naive little Audrey. (by the way, this is the house I tried to replicate ) You start with a square, to scale. that's it. from ther...

Here you see the beginning. The beginning of a career that'll last me a lifetime. here you see the first three animations that I'll forever look back on and think wow. I really don't like animation in photoshop. The whole point of the project was to animate three different balls. one bouncing from directly below, the other an arch, and the last one with creative freedom. these three gifs are what I created. the process I created the first one by making a custom grass tool and drawing the grass, then coloring the background. I then created a ball, and rendered it's texture by double clicking the layer. then, I began to make copies of the ball, making them do as I please. I made a frame animation, then turned off all the layers except the first one. then, the tedious process of duplicating a frame, turning off the last layer and turning on the next layer began. the last gif is 106 frames, so you can understand that it took a while. execution picking my color...
