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 after effects
Friday: I worked on my video in after effects

I’ve had an interest in digital art ever since the start of middle school, and I’ve had a lot of experience from graphic designing to video editing. This was also around the same time when I discovered fandoms on Instagram that created fan edits out of anime and kpop. Watching these videos inspired ...

Since I finished my Five Nights at Freddy's inspired video, I have decided to move on to a different project. However, due to the amount of time that we have left in the school year, I want to work on something small and simple. Whenever brainstorming for ideas, I thought of doing a "customize your character" where I would draw a character and make it seem like someone is changing their appearance and outfits. This is usually what people do when they start a new game that requires them to customize their personal character. An example of it would look something like this. However, I would obviously put my own twist and style on it. The art  style that I want to use will also be inspired by the mobile game called "Animal Restaurant." The appearance of the art style looks very simple and clean, which is exactly what I want to go for when drawing my character. At the beginning, I will also include a title screen just like my other previous projects to make it seem ...
