 Investigation

This week I did my investigation on text animations. To create my video game intro screen, I need to know a little more about animating text in after effects before starting it. To begin, I came across this video of someone showing a tutorial on how to make text look 8-bit.


Since the video that I am creating is related to video games, this video was good to know about because I can use it to add a pixelated effect to my texts and objects. As I continued to search for text animations/effects on youtube, I came across a really cool rainbow text trail effect:


Sometimes for text animations, people create text expressions on after-effects to animate their text. However, the person in the video only uses keyframes to animate the text, which is a more simple way of doing it. 

Lastly, I found someone who shows a tutorial of 5 very simple text animations that I can use in my video game intro. 


his video tutorial would be the one that I would most likely use for text animations since I want to go for something that is more simplistic. In the future, I will most likely make something that is more complex, but for this video that I am currently working on, I want to stick with simiplicity.

Work Log:
Monday: Worked on video in after effects
Tuesday: Worked on video in after effects
Wednesday: Worked on video in after effects
Thursday: Worked on video in after effects
Friday: Worked on video in after effects

  After going through the Themes in Art pdf, the theme that I'm going to explore and focus on this year is going to be the concept of Art and Fantasy. I chose this theme because I believe that there are many different ways that you can display fantasy through videos because of how broad and diverse of a genre that it is. A couple of examples being an individual vs society, man vs nature, good vs evil, etc. Another reason why I’m choosing the topic of fantasy is because it is one of my favorite genres of films to watch, from Studio Ghibli classics to folktales and traditional motifs. Fantasy is a super limitless topic and you can create basically anything out of it with your imagination. 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 ...

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...
