Our team name was LIT and the name of our product is Shwamock. We all worked well together brainstorming our ideas and agreeing on one. We made the animation well together but the video was a little challenging at first because we were not sure how we were going to hang the Shwamock up. For the next group project I will prepare more before our presentation. Going first we really didn't know what to except so we didn't do bad. I would change the amount of time we spend in the video room.I think having more time in the video room would be helpful because of all the different clips that we had to edit. I have improved because I got to see how other people used Sketchup and I learned from them. I worked on the add, the video, and made the trees for our animation. 

This is my house animation I made in e9 this week. It took me a while, but it wasn't too difficult. First, I went to  http://www.ulharman.com/new-home-construction.html to choose what house I wanted to design. I chose "The Barclay." I went off the measurements for that house to draw my bases. After that, I drew some angles on the roof to give it the different levels and dimensions using the push/pull tool. I made some doors and windows, which weren't hard at all. All I had to do was draw rectangles, use the offset tool, push/pull tool, and the paint bucket. I also made gutters on the side of my house. I made a little rectangle on the sides of the rood and used a 1in offset. That was the main steps, and after that I got to "design" my house the way I wanted. I added a bench by my front door and some flowers. I made a driveway by drawing a rectangle and added a Range Rover, because who doesn't want a Range Rover? I also made a pool by making a rectangle a...

This is my website I made in Dreamweaver. We first had to connect to the server and locate our file. I had to pick one project form graphic design and one project from animation. I don't have anything under the video heading because I haven't taken video yet. After placing all the files I had to edit the HTML pages. It really isn't as hard as it sounds. I typed in my name and used a level 1 heading. Then for the other titles I used level 2 headings. The tricky part was making a link from my home page to my project page. Thanks to the "drag the point-to-file icon" and Mr. Olson I was able to make a link to the other pages. It was first in black and white, but it needed some color. To add the color I had to find the CSS panel. Under the CSS panel I clicked "background" to change the color and when I liked the color I clicked OK. I did the same thing for the text color and the sides of the webpage. For the font I clicked the #wrapper also in the CSS fi...

This is my dog house I made this week. We first got a sheet with all the measurements and then I made the dog house the same way I made the table and chairs. I made a rectangle then pushed/pulled it up, made a roof, and then used the "offset" tool to make the white boarder around the house. Next, I used the type tool to type the name Max. Max is the name of my dog and I imported a picture that looks a little like him. The last step was to add color to the house and add grass. I made the roof a grey color and made the dog house blue because of the Royals. Go Royals!

This week I have been working on making a table and chairs in Ecomm. To make the chairs I started off with making a rectangle 18" by 18" using the rectangle tool. Then using the push/ pull tool I pulled it up 4'. That is how I made the base of the chair. For the legs I made another rectangle and pushed/pulled it up, then made a design on the rectangle. I then used the "follow me" tool to create the design on the legs and the table. I just made one original chair then I made components for the others so I would have the same measurements on both. I made my table by using the rectangle tool and then added some walls and some windows. The last step was to add some and color. That's it!

This is my name bouncing ball animation. As you can see, its a little rough. This project took a long time and a lot of frames and layers. It starts out okay but at the end its gets a little crazy, but oh well. I had to make a text box to type my name and used the eclipse tool to make the bouncing ball. I drew the faces on both of the balls. I had to make a copy of the ball each time and then squashed and stretched them as it went on. After that I put them in the animation timeline and put the setting on repeat so that it would repeat forever. Then saved it to the web. That's it!

This is my name animation. I first made a text layer and typed my name. Then, I made a copy of the text and added an effect to it. I made a lot of copies of my name and on each copy erased a little each time. I erased from right to left. I had to make sure to hide the previous layer so I could keep erasing. After my name was fully erased, I went up to window, then timeline and clicked frame animation. After that, I went to the "secret menu" and selected make frames from layers. I selected all the frames then put the frames in reverse. That's it!
