My Animations
There are more anmations I have done except since they are so big it takes at least 2 hours to load a 2 minute film. I will upload my Sony Vegas Video and upload my Final animation ASAP!
Reflection + Evaluation
If Only…that is the title of my awesome movie. I used a vary of tools in animation-ish such as the painting tools, keyframes, move, foreground and background. By doing this project, I have learnt how to use Animation-ish and I have also learnt how to use the tools in Animation-ish. However, before I could finish my movie I had many problems. My main problem was learning how to use Animation-ish. It was quite hard for me since I don’t have the best drawings. Another problem I faced when doing this animation was remembering to save my work every couple of minutes. Since the Mac Book laptops would freeze up for no reason, it was really important that we saved our work every few minutes so we wouldn’t lose our work if the laptop froze. I had to learn this the hard way.
I am very happy with the final result of my project. I had put a lot of time into this project trying to get it done and I was so proud of myself when I had finished it. However, my project is not perfect. The one thing I would like to change would be to take the subs away and put audio there instead. I think that Pixur wouldn’t buy my character or my animation. This is I believe that there are other projects that are way better then mine. Don’t get me wrong, mine’s good just not that good. If I could start this again the only thing I would do differently would be the way I managed my time. Overall, I believe that this project was a huge success for me!

Creative Media Assignment - PART A (3/5)
Personality Profile
Kai is a troublesome, rebellious little creature. However, the most important thing about Kai is that he has a split personality. Since Kai is an Emgo (an old clan who can run very fast) he tends to be a bit stuck up and thinks that he is better than everyone else. Kai loves to cause trouble but the worst thing is that Kai can get bored very easily hence the reason why he always causes so much trouble. Kai hates snow and ice since he can't run probably on it. Kai many act tough (his mouth will open) but in reality he's not really that strong and easily frightened.
The way I am going to show Kai's personality is by his facial expression. As seen in some of my videos, it shows Kai with different size eyes. When Kai has small eyes he acts tough and stuck up but when he has large eyes, he is either scared or has an idea.
Overall, Kai is not that bad a creature. When the white side appears (large eyes) he is actually a pretty sweet thing but when the black side appears (small eyes) prepare for all of hell to break loose.

The character I have decided to do is in the video above! His name is Kai ^^
I came to this decision since Kai is a cute character and when I was working in Animation-ish, I discovered that he was very easy to move around as well as to do things too. The only downside to Kai is that he doesn't have any arms. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to give him arms or just leave him like he is. A part from that, I think Kai is the best type of 'thing' for my storyboard since the 'thing' in my story is going to be doing lots of running. Kai's legs are easy for me to move unlike the other creations in Animation-ish.
At the beginning of this assignment, I really wanted to draw my own characters but I then realised that, that would take a very long time. So...I decided it would be easier for me to just use a creation already made in Animation-ish.

Before I can actually start this assignment, I need to know what animated characters are since the Pixur Group use them.
Animated Characters: A character is any person, persona, identity, or entity that exists in a work of art. The process of conveying information about characters in fiction is called characterisation. Characters may be entirely fictional or based on real, historical entities. Characters may be human, supernatural, mythical, divine, animal, or personifications of an abstraction.

Now that I have a basic understanding of what an animated character is, I can now start my research! Just below is a few images that I consider to be an animated character(s).

About My Creative Media Task
Design Brief - You have been commissioned by the Pixur Group to produce a trailer for a new TV series of children’s animations. This new series is important for Pixur, and is aimed specifically at the 12 – 17 year old demographic.
As they are still in the writing development stage, your brief is quite large and unrestricted. They are looking for ideas of all types. They want characters that will appeal to the target audience. They also want characters with personality.
Your brief is to produce a 60 second animated trailer of your idea for the TV series. If time permits you may choose to also provide a longer version of your idea that may run for up to 3 minutes. The characters themselves do not have to be complicated drawings, simple line art can be very appealing, if the character is strong and the storyline is interesting.

Trial with Subs - Lesson 9
Since I'm not really good at using Garage Band, I decided that I would do subs instead. This is a trial of how my subs are going to work.
