 Investigation:

This week I did my investigation on a YouTuber whose channel name is called "BORE.D" He makes cooking videos, however, it is not a typical how-to cooking video. In his videos, he makes it seem as if his cooking videos are quests that he needs to complete by editing a "quest log" with objectives written over it.

In this video, for example, his objective is to make a pancake. His editing style makes it look like the viewer is in a video game with the edited inventory and how he receives a notification each time he obtains an object. 

After having my file got corrupted, I got really demotivated to work because I had lost two weeks of progress. However, watching his videos gave me an idea of what I want to do for my next project.

I want to try and make a videogame-style cooking video by incorporating Minecraft as the game into the video. I think that I will have a lot of creative space to play around with since there are inventories and quests that players have to achieve in Minecraft as well.

Work Log:

Monday: I continued to work on the eye animation. It was difficult because I lost my headphones, so I couldn't hear the beat of the audio. I used s_wipeline over the solid layer that I masked out over the eye to make it look like the character was blinking.

Tuseday: I was not satisfied with how the solid black layer wiped over the eye, so I had to adjust the graph editor.

Wednesday: My laptop died at the beginning of class, so I began working on my investigation instead.

Thursday: I finally finished the eye animation, and I began to add a slide down transition.

Friday: I opened up my project file today and found out that the file got corrupted :(
