Practice Story Reflection

     We had to do a story about me making animation. It was about how I started animation and what kept me going with it. We had to make up five questions for the interviewer to ask me. I was the center of attention! It was all about me, it felt good!
    One of the most challenging things was making sure the interview equipment  was good to go. We had to retake our interview and our b-roll. We had to retake the b-roll because the files were not fully imported! We had to retake the interview because my mic wasn't on the whole time! But are team worked out fine. We all encouraged each other and did our best.
     Are interview was pretty good in the end. It was fun at sometimes and stress full at others.
We had to rush. It was crazy! But in the end it all worked out fine.

Polar Panoramas


These are two polar panoramas that I made. I created these by taking at least 10-15 photos of a location with a nice horizon line. I took the photos while circling around 360 degrees overlapping each photo 10-15 percent. All the photos that had to be vertically oriented in order for it to look good.  I then merged the photos together using photoshop. After merging the photos together it created a regular panorama, I saved the panorama then changed its size to 5000 by 5000. Once that was done I clicked polar coordinates  in photoshop and I was done!

Spherical Panoramas

I created this spherical panorama by taking 10-15 pictures while spinning around 360 degrees. After that I edited the photos in adobe bridge. Then I transferred the photos from adobe bridge to photoshop. I took my already photo merged panorama from finder and resized it to 500 by 500.
Lastly I hit polar coordinates and Im done!

Three Shot Sequences!


     A three shot sequence is a sequence of three shots. A three shot sequence usually consists of a wide a medium and a close shot. Sometimes the close shot is an extremely close shot! Sequencing can be helped with certain techniques. These techniques include framing leading lines and contrast of content. Without three shot sequencing movies would be boring.
