Walking Cycle

I think with this project the walking cycle turned out well, but i didn't like the fact that I could only use it one way. I felt that the piece was pretty sucessful, but i wish i could've added more effects to mario, like jumping. What worked about this project is the walking motion, what didn't work is I wish I had more time to colorize the whole thing. If I could do this project over again I would add jumping into the cycle and colorize mario. The hardest part about this piece was drawing the walking cycle because of how time consuming it was. I learned from this piece on how to create a walk cycle.

5 compositions using 5 elements

























For the first design the most difficult part of it was making the type face the main aspect of the composition. I think the textured text turned out well.
For the second design I learned how to use the artistic filters. I liked the different types of filters on the cow.
On the third design I think I couldve found a better way to make the star the focal point of the piece. It was hard to set up the cow and the lightning in the right place.
With the fourth design it was hard to think of a way to make the textur the focal point. The piece turned out better than I thought because I was able to turn the texture into the cow.
The final piece was my favorite to make. The effect of the glow off the lightning and cow turned out really well. The artistic filter also turned out well with the cow.

Forget You-Facemation

I think this was one of the best projects I've done so far this year. I think it was pretty sucessful because it turned out the way I envisioned it. The mouthing out of the words was pretty sucessful, but the only thing that bothered me was that the lighting changed on a couple pictures. If I could do this project over again I would correct the lighting on the photos. The most difficult part of this piece is how time consuming it was. It took about 1 hour to make 30 seconds of the video. I learned how important time management and staying on task is to complete a giant project like this.
