Spring 2024 Research Project Update: March 21st

Hi again!!

I made some progress on my Research Project, although not as much as I wanted to...

I did however buy some things I needed for it, mainly foam board thingies and popsicle sticks (along with cardboard in case I for some reason need it)

I also bought miniature ducks, originally for a different project, which got me thinking "hmm, what if I made a miniature duck room?"

Here's some images of them by the way

Spring 2024 Animation Project Update: March 21st

Hi!!

Just to let yall know, I made some progress on my project!!

Here's an image of me putting one of the scenes hastily together for my WIP presentation! By the way this is also one of the few shots where the animation part is actually done!!

To be honest I made a lot more progress than I thought I would

(Slowly) Starting My Animated Project

Hi yall!

Guess what? I'm working on a Junior animated project!!

What is it about? Well, long story short: in the middle of the night, an insomniatic teenage boy travels down to the kitchen due to some incredibly strange sounds he heard from his bedroom. To his utter shock, he finds out that the sounds were coming from his twin sister being under control by weird alien goop on her face. He then runs back to his room, with his sister chasing after him. The short ends with him keeping the door locked while his sister keeps banging on it.

I know. Creepy, right?

Anyways, last Friday, my class and I were broken into groups for pitch presentations. I did mine and things went pretty well! Everyone loved my idea!! I was also given some really good feedback as well, such as trying to distinguish the twin characters in my projects even more, and giving more eye-contact to the audience while presenting my stuff.

So far, since after that, I've been punching holes on paper I want to use for said animation project. I'm still not done with that, but at the same time I still feel like I have enough, for now at least.

I've also been experimenting more on perspective! It's been helping me think more about the design of the backgrounds I want to use as well! Here's 9 of them below:

In other words, nothing too much.

My "Inspirational Family Tree"

So, for context: as the title suggests, this is a tree connecting to people based on who they inspired or who they were inspired by.

The person at the very bottom is a personification of myself, the guy right in the middle is one of my biggest influences, Stephen Hillenburgh (which may be obvious as he's holding a mini SpongeBob), and the three portraits above him are some of the many figures that inspired him at some point in his life (from left to right: Charlie Chaplin, Jacques Cousteau, and The Three Stooges).

The wavy strings connecting to us are waving downwards, which in a way symbolizes how the inspiration has traveled from one person to another.
