Blog Investigation 2/13

-

This week I did my investigation on stop motion. Stop motion is an animated technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between each photographed frame so that they will appear to show individual movement when the series of frames are played back. The very first stop motion animation produced was The Humpty Dumpty Circus directed by J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith who used their daughter's dolls as props. 

Sadly, due to time and age, the first stop motion film has been lost and there is no way that people can watch it. The only trace that we have of the animation is a single screenshot. 


Despite not having footage of the first ever stop motion animation, there are also lots of other videos on the internet like this one, which is made out of legos:



The youtube channel “I like home” has a lot of amazing stop motion videos posted on their profile. However, since I am just an intermediate, my video will not be as nearly as high quality as theirs. 

In my Five Night’s at Freddy’s inspired video, I was going to plan on making my stuffed animals and plushies move around in areas of my house. However, since I can not have them move on their own, I will need to position their placements and locations by myself. Then, I will need to edit the photos together to create a stop motion video.

  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...
