Blog Question #3

Straight Ahead VS Pose to Pose Animation

a) Straight Ahead - Starts with first drawing and each second has a new drawing. Could unintentionally change size and proportions. More pictures, takes more time, less planned out. Action scenes commonly done with this method.

Pose to Pose - Key drawings are done every couple of seconds. Size and proportion are better controlled. Animator doesn't have to draw every picture - more planned out, less time.

b) We can't usually see the difference between the two different animation styles because they both cause a trick of the eye that the human eye can't notice.

c) Pivot uses straight ahead animation and Flash generally uses pose to pose but can also use straight ahead; it can be a combination of both.

d) I prefer to use pose to pose animation because it takes less time and you can plan out the scenes better.

To create these scary animals, I took the mouth of scary animal, put it on the face of the cute animal, resized it and blended it with the clone stamp tool to make it look natural.

Tilt Shift

To create this tilt shift effect, create two copies of the picture, add a gausian blur to the top layer and attach it to a levels layer. On the levels layer, create a reflected gradient. Add a brightness/contrast adjustment layer to the very top, attach and modify.

Rainbow Eye

To change the colours of these eyes, we added the colours in a new layer and changed the mode to multiply or overlay.

Cracked and Peeled face

Open the model and a texture. Lower the opacity of the texture to 50% and change the mode to multiply. Adjust the levels of the texture (enhance and adjust lighting). Add a levels layer and join the texture layer to it. Paint in black where you don't want the texture.

Blog Question #1

Q. What is the meaning of photographic evidence if you can change an image digitally?

       A. If you can change an image digitally, photographic evidence isn’t as accurate. In the actual picture a person could be wearing a different colour shirt than in the digitally altered picture and it can look quite convincing. And for another example, a person could be actually put into a scene with a background change. Photo evidence can’t be trusted as much since photo editing has been introduced.

 Q. Now that you know a little about digital alterations, what would you say if you were accused of a crime and the police had a photo of your car that clearly puts YOU at the  scene of a crime?

     

      A. Now that I know a little about digital alterations, if I was seen at the scene of a crime, I would ask if it was the original image or if there was evidence that the image has been altered. 

Blog Question #2

Ethics and Aesthetics

Ethics - What our standards are, what we perceive as "good" or "bad", inner beauty.

Aesthetics - What we see as beautiful, pleasing apperance, outer beauty.

Our society finds it ethically not acceptable to "Photoshop" a photo when it is something relating to news or everyday, important information.

Our society finds it aesthetically acceptable to "Photoshop" a photo if it's an image in a magazine or any image in an advertisement form.

Select the top half of the subject, add a new levels layer. Drag it back to the top and attach. Change the background to your liking.
