4/8/2010 - Notes

12 comments:

  1. Critique Day-

    Mine- good idea for in and out of piece, technically could have been better
    Sam- Good technical transition into piece, would have liked to see him in more of it
    Dylan- kept eyes moving, needs better transition out of the piece
    john- lots of interaction with the piece, funny transitions in and out
    jade- not really a full transition because it starts in a sort of animated world, good job green screening
    matt- good idea of getting into piece, could have been executed a little better, stills in beginning maybe not the best idea
    josh- funny but needs better transitions
    ethan- good job getting in and out, but logically they do not work together

  2. sean-pretty good, could have used better green screening, comical
    sam-good conversion from here to there, could savor it some more. not as much self in piece as I'd like.
    dylan-cliche entrance/exit, interesting to see how the quick cuts worked.
    mine-pretty good, as ethan says, boring after the color.
    jade-cool effect for intro, but animated the whole time. could enter piece more technically.
    matt-funny intro, not too technical and never really enters the piece
    josh-entrance/exit abrupt, car riding scene is well done
    ethan-interesting, film part could be changed for logical reasons, funny movie posters

  4. campbell - heavy use of the pen tool might be a little much, the ending worked well when the hand brought you back into your piece

    Sam - great transition in wish it was held longer, transition out was awkward and whats with the pill bottle

    dylan - character doesn't move, transition in sucks and I don't get it, and why is the character only sometimes on the blue space you didn't explain that in your piece

    John - green screen made you look transparent which worked well with the black and white but didn't work very well with the colored background

    Jade - No transition in, vector graphics did fit the piece nicely

    Matt - intro was a music video and lame, didn't go in or out of your piece

    Josh - the boxed car through off the whole piece, your intro was interesting in that it reminded me of American Splendor however it needs to be timed better to pull of the effect you want

    Ethan - continuity of the piece doesn't make any sense, is your character going inside his head or into the mirror, nice use of color

    Monday

    24 frame storyboard
    3 paragraphs
    read the rest of the book for discusion

    John Mondor-Great interaction with the piece, and nice use of color

    Josh Smith- A little confusing with the transitions

    Ethan-Transitions are well executed, nice use of color

  8. NMD 304- Notes

    Sean- green screening the hand would look smoother, original idea compared to everyone else.
    Sam- intro looks great, cartoon self is an awesome effect. by far my favorite piece out of all.
    Dylan- A little too fast paced for me, but it keeps my attention. outro could have been a little longer.
    John Mondor- intro/outro is hilarious. the effect you put on yourself looks really interesting and helps you stand out in the piece.
    Josh- the car in your piece (black box) was a little weird but I thought your intro and outro worked really well. slow down intro and you could take the part of yourself without the backpack out so it isn't so inconsistent.
    Matt- intro/outro was funny but would look better live action.
    Ethan- I think you could have put yourself in the piece more.

    HW:
    - Monday @ midnight have your storyboard for final done. 24 frams minimum.
    - 3 page description of what it is.

  11. critique of a5

    seans's > good consistency in transitions in and out of animated world

    sam's > intro w/ pie animation for car starting is a good setup for transition into animated world

    ethan's > into I was expecting for you to going into mirror or room, would create better understanding of end transition

    josh > didn't understand transition into piece. sequence too quick.

    dylan > dream transitions, black fade at end, bland. Burning in beginning is effective technical in transition.

    jade > interactions within animated world well executed (hand turning on light and turning key) end transition when walking away and the turn at the end creates a little confusion

    john > use of chord to enter computer generated world is clever.

    matt > transitions difficult. quick flash frames of self in animated piece with particles is effective.

    don't use 'like' and 'I feel like...' or cool
    explain what works and why it works or why it doesn't

    monday next week by midnight
    story boards due for final > 24 frames/panels
    3 paragraph description > narrative and technical
    finish book

  12. Sean - The puppet transforms work great for the piece, making it crazy and zany. The underlying piece is a bit simplistic.
    Sam - All of the parts where you are green screened in are great. The places where you aren't feel a bit empty though.
    Dylan - The piece is cool and complicated, but it's somewhat repetitive.
    John - It all worked pretty well. The transitions from color to black and white were a bit jarring though.
    Jade - Entrance and exit are a bit abrupt and you are animated at all times
    Matt - The transition from the real world to the piece is way to abrupt and unexplained. Funny though.
    Josh - The camera you used seemed to have interlacing issues.

    Monday next week by midnight
    Need full storyboards with at least 24 frames
    a 3 paragraph description of the storyboards, including both technical and narrative explanations

    Finish the book by tuesday
