W4B

This is my first attempt at animation my phrase. I wanted to convey both anxiety and calmness. Much like how you might feel when you are anxious about something that is going to happen the next day so you can't sleep, but are also exhausted.

Message in Motion

This is my final version of message in motion. I kept the same concept but I added a gaussian blur effect to some of the words to convey tiredness. I also fixed the part that says "a thousand pictures fill my head" to better emphasize the feeling of thoughts filling the head, while at the same time trying to create a cleaner animation.

Today, we didn't have class so we worked on finding a phrase to animate. The phrase I found is a quote from an Eric Whitacre choral song called "Sleep."

Upon my pillow safe in bed
a thousand pictures fill my head
I cannot sleep my minds aflight
and yet my limbs are made of lead.

Today we worked on an animation for the word rhythm and this is what I came up with. I wanted to keep it simple and convey simply the beat.

In class we worked on a new animation project. It is an exercise where we have to animate shapes to  a song from the drive. I chose the song I chose because I thought that the fast and sudden sounds would be interesting to bring to a visual medium

Dream Project

W2A

Today in class we went over our animation projects and had a critique. For the most part, people recognized my emotion or at least that it was a positive one. I think for the future I want to work on making my work cleaner. I am not very good at drawing so my animation was a little rough. Overall i'm happy with it, being that it was my first animation in the animate program.

For the homework, we are supposed to recall a dream we had in 300 words

I am having trouble remembering a specific dream that I have had. Especially in 300 words. Most of my dreams I will remember for a few minutes after I wake up then I forget.

Many of my dreams involve me not being able to see. I'm not sure why this is. Or I will be in one location and then it morphs into another and Im talking to one person and all the sudden they are another person or an animal of some sort. Many of my dreams are derived from thoughts I had in my subconscious throughout the day. I struggle with anxiety so I would often have dreams which involve people in my life being mad at me or something of that sort.

One dream I am starting to remember is that I was back in high school and my school was doing the musical Annie as our production for the year (which did happen in real life). In the musical I was cast as the mean orphanage director miss Hannagin. Immediately after being cast I was thrown on stage in front of a full audience and I didn't know any of my lines.

I cant remember any other details or dreams that I have had.
