Braeden's Media Arts Blog

Today I learned 4 different tutorials How to make stairs, how to make a tower out of lava and water,\ how to create a sand storm and how to use in game items to spawn different things. I really enjoyed the fish/ water spawning tutorial because it was the most challenging and the most rewarding I like the idea of not having to type the word out to use the command but instead using a in game item and right click to spawn stuff in. Slideshow

Today I learned how to make a spleef map and make a how to make a little leap of faith jump thing they both sort of have the same concept where you build platforms above eachother weather it beat 4 blocks or 128 blocks they sort of were the same tutorial just a little bit diffrent I liked the spleef one because spleef is a fun minigame Slideshow

Today I learned 3 different things, I learned how to fast forward time, Print out a word with blocks through code and I learned how to add depth and place blocks different distances away from me hence the compass. So far am enjoying the minecraft tutorials and cant wait to see what ill learn next Slideshow

Today I did a few tutorials including Super Jump, flower trail and super dig out of them I enjoyed super dig the most because it destroys everything in your path . Slideshow

Today I spent about half the time downloading and setting up my minecraft than once I loaded in I learned how to code different things like spawning a certain mob by saying a certain word in chat like "chicken" than I learned how to command my agent around by coding different movements like moving 5 blocks or turning left or right and placing blocks. Slideshow

Today I finished rendering and editing my video clip, I had to export it in After effects as a video than cut up that video in premiere pro

Today I finished my project and I had to figure out how to cut it down and render it out to fix the timeline, To make it easier for me I am going to be finishing the project in premier pro to do the final cuts and ajust the speed of the video

Today I pretty much finished my intro I just want to go back and touch up a few things add a few more things. If there was one thing I wish I did differently it would be more planning I wish I added another transparent layer and maybe added a sample text in the exact spots I wanted and sort of traced over it but I cant really fix the placement of the words now, either way I dont mind how it turned out so far

Today I got closer to finishing the intro I am a little under 4k lines drawn in total Its getting harder and harder to make each letter because the further I get the more letters I have to keep redrawing I think I should be able to knock down the last two letters tomorrow and merge it together with the skateboarder video.

today I worked on some final letters for the intro I am almost done that and than I am going to add some final touches hopefully I will be done within the next few classes.

Today I got even closer to finishing my intro in the finished product it will say "Braeden Jones Productions"

Today I worked on my intro some more and while doing that thought of different effects I could add every day I am getting closer to getting it done hopefully I will be done within the next 2 or 3 classes than I can start on something else.

Today I worked on doing more frames some of the letters I drew last class didnt save so I had to redo those witch is irritating but I pretty much did the same thing as last class and just did a bunch of drawing.
