Digital Portfolio

Investigation: Pixel art is a form of digital art where images are created on a pixel level. The aesthetic for these kinds of art come from 8-bit and 16-bit video games. An example of a pixel art would be this picture: Instead of having round edges, the image looks like it is created by using small squares. To incorporate pixel art into my video, I want to create pixelated objects on photoshop to use in my video. To do the is, I have found a few youtube videos that will guide me through the process. Work Log:  Monday: I had trouble exporting my image as a png from photoshop because when I resized the image, it decreased the resolution of my pixel art. Tuesday: I found a fix to my problem from Tuesday and successfully exported my image. I then went on youtube to find some video game sound effects and came across this video. It has a lot of different 8-bit gaming sounds that I can use in my video. Wednesday: I worked on my video in after effects Thursday: I worked on my video in afte...

 Investigation: This week I did my investigation on sprites. At first, I had no idea what it was, but Mr. Bomboy showed me a few images on google with examples of sprites. It is basically a two-dimensional bitmap graphic object most often in a 2D video game. This is an example of a character sprite sheet. It is a combination of different movements originated by one character. I am going to create my own sprite character by using pixel art. I will also create items and other inventory needed with pixel art to incorporate into my video. Work Log: Monday: I began to work on my video in after effects. I started designing the quest log.  Tuesday: I continued to work on the design of the quest log. I also added a cookie to resemble what the video game character is going to make. Wednesday: I finished designing the quest log book. I began to work on the inventory and materials for the video game. I also added audio to make it sound like it's a video game quest. Thursday: I began to w...

Investigation: The game "Minecraft" has been out for a decade now, and it's been loved by many people, continuously having updates even til this day. In this game, there are also achievements that players can achieve by completing a specific objective such as killing the ender dragon or obtaining wood. After doing research about Feng Mengbo a few weeks ago for a blog post, it inspired me to relate my project to a video game. Since I have been playing Minecraft ever since beta, I thought that I would incorporate it into my cooking video because I have a lot of knowledge on how the game works. To create this video, I will edit an overlay on top of the video to make it seem like a quest/achievement that a player needs to accomplish. An example of it would be like this, taken from BORE.D on youtube. However, I am going to use a picture of a book and quill from Minecraft to list out the quest objectives. One an objective has been complete, there will be an achievement notifica...
