Corporate ID (4th 9 weeks)

Another day another project. This time it's 'Corporate ID,' and I did mine at home in free time. Using an application called 'Blender' that I've used before for various other side projects and classes, I recreated the 'Universal Studios' intro (screenshot below is converting it to AVI, as Blender wouldn't let me) in about 30 minutes total. My personal computer at home, being an iMac running a quad-core 3.2Ghz Intel chip with a 1TB HD and a 2TB EXTHD, was easily able to render the entire Blender project in maybe 20 seconds. The end result is good, but because of the aspect ratio rendered the 'globe' in the background of the text as a semi-oval shape instead of a circle. It'll do though.

Movie Menu (4th 9 weeks)

A few weeks, a few projects. Interims come Wednesday, and unsurprisingly I have an A. Photoshop and Premiere are easy to learn if you sit down with them and just mess around with some controls here and there, learning how to accomplish different effects that you want, etc. The most recent project to be turned in is the movie menu (screenshot attached), and I decided to do mine on 'The Hunger Games.' as that was, in my opinion, a great movie and even better book series.

Ticker (4th Nine Weeks)

New 9 weeks, new projects, new things to learn, same ol' people complaining about not being able to finish projects. The ticker was the first project of this 9 weeks and was by far one of the easiest. Of course, you could make it more complex than others but there still wasn't a way to really make it too hard. All it needed was 3-4 layers in Photoshop (of course, that's one of the more simple, mine included 8-9), and some movement added to it in Premeire. With one project down, there's still the rest of the year left. Looking forward to summer already.
