Braeden's Media Arts Blog

Ihave now figured out that this will take longer than I had thought because now that I am nearing the end of my intro I am having to redraw every other letter every 5 frames witch 5 frames will get me one letter so I have to redraw every other letter to make 1 new letter than redraw every letter again to make another but I am close to finishing anyway it is starting to feel repetitive drawing the same letters over and over again.

 Today I worked more on my intro I need to bang out a few more letters than work on the other effects I want to add on top of the intro.

Today I worked more on my intro I am just about dont making it next class I need to figure out a way to slow it down so it doesnt zip by in like 2 seconds and I will probably be done my project within this week.

Today I worked on my intro portion of the video I got quite alot done I am make a drawing effect where it says Braeden Jones Productions as the intro

Today I focused on working on my intro I have drawn a little under half of the first part of the intro witch is a good start and I like how it is coming together so far

Today I starting doing the intro portion of the video I am going to make it animated and make it look like im drawing it out on the screen

Today I pretty much finished the part of the guy doing the kickflip and I am about to draw the intro part of the video but since I did the rest of the video it will be wierd trying to time it right and get a good transition so what I will have to do to give myself enough space inbetween  clips I will have to split the video into different layers and delete the middle part so its a perfect transition from the intro to the video without risking not giving myself enough space or having to do it backwards it will look like this but with the small middle chunks deleted and the first and last chunks put together

Today I worked on drawing mostly I noticed the first part I did where the guy fades in from one line disappeared witch sucks but I finished the kickflip part so now its mostly working on the effects and the intro so far I have painted 2000+ lines

Today I focused on drawing and got a bunch of frames done

Today I started drawing the actual kickflip part i am going to try and use some of the skills ive learned to make and intro using the frame drawing glowing effect so it looks like I am drawing my name out and it sort of transitions smoothly into the skateboarder doing his trick

Today I worked hard on drawing as many frames as I can and thats pretty much what I did all class Im hoping to be done all the drawing within the next 2 classes

Today I focused on drawing I spent nearly the whole class drawing frame after frame I am a little over half way done, animation is alot harder than I thought to think it takes this long for like a 4 second clip. Overall I like how this is turning out and I hope too finish soon.

Today I worked on painting mostly but so its been taking pretty long so I started looking for some short cuts and I noticed the guy filming is pretty steady and doesnt really move but since I had my brush set to single frame it wouldnt let me copy and paste it over to other frames witch was annoying so I messed around with the paint options and found you can set it to custom instead of single frame and paint something and set how many frames you want it to last for so I sent 10 frames at a time so i dont have to keep drawing the filmer and this should speed up the process

Today I focused more on drawing than anything else I finished the first transition part where it starts from a line and draws out the two figures in the video and just started drawing more frams as you can tell

Today I focused more on drawing frames I fixed the error where there was a hole in my top layer and spent the rest of class drawing I like how its looking so far.
