Personal Blog Post- Animation

Fire pit explosion 

For this project we were to take the skills we learned in the previous project to create an explosion of our own. I picked to do a fire pit explosion. We had to add all the SFX effects that we added last week, which were smoke, fire, the explosion, dust, smoke, and debris. First, I picked all the elements I wanted to put in my explosion. Then, I resized them so they would fit into the fire pit. I set key frames, so after the fire exploded the debris would follow later. I did this because during an explosion it doesn't all happen at once. You have the explosion, the fire, the debris, then the smoke. I learned how to use matte to make the edges not look so harsh and how to set key frames accordingly. I would keep the order in which everything exploded. Next time I would try and add more "glow" in the background to make it look more realistic. In general I liked how this project turned and I also liked the process of putting this project together.

Professional Article Review

Maya Software! In this article, a college student writes about downloading Maya in one of his classes. He does not really have an argument, but if there was one I'd say he is for the Maya software program. He writes about how it is helpful because a new setting, Camera Sequencer is used to let people layout their camera shots, and can manage them with one part of the animation. The author did a good job of conveying people to download Maya, but however he did not do such a great job in explaining in detail what some of the other features are. I would add more information next time, and more featues to talk about. In general this article helps me understand the Camera Sequencer and hopefully I will be able to use it sometime at school.

They story I watched was a little boy who received a special Christmas,  It all started when a little boy took his moms phone and posted a video of himself on his moms Facebook. He then later appeared on Ellen and was interviewed by  Ryan Seacrest and Kris Jenner. He shocked people with his knowledge on dinosaurs.   The anchors brought his toys on the show so he could show them what he knows. The anchors gave them their full attention and that to me made watching this story better. A lot of background information was given as the anchors asked him the 5 W's.  I personally feel they did a good job with the interview. I will take the skill of really interacting and engaging with people for further interviews.Also, adding more background information to set the scene.

I read an article about the  Las Vegas Shooting  and the reporter did a good job of introducing the topic and giving the stats right away. The reporter also did a good job of throwing in the fact that it is was the "deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history."  I think they could have added more pictures so we would have an idea of what the atmosphere was like, and what the hotel looked like. Seeing more visuals would have helped create a better picture of what was actually happening at the time. From reading this I will remember to add more pictures to my work and make sure to add important facts that can relate to the event taking place.
