Final Post

I believe that my final project "The Last Cookie" was the perfect culmination for my graphic design career. This project had its ups and downs but in the end it came out pretty well. For my advice for future people taking CAS I would say that you should really plan ahead for what you will do. I know that this is told but really plan ahead because for me there were things that happened that ruined my original ideas because my plans weren't that clear. Besides that enjoy it. Nathan out.

75 percent

For my 75 percent check, I have reached my goal of finishing the action sequence and starting to stylize my video. As I continue, I will start to finalize the effects, making sure that everything is correct. I will then finish the stylizing and be ready for presentations.

50 percent

For my 50 percent the goal was to start the effects process which I have.

25 percent progress

For the twenty five percent progress check I had finished the filming and began uploading the footage into the after affects composition. The process of filming was difficult. With rainy conditions for the date I wanted to film I was forced to film inside and I believe this gave my movie even more of a difference from star wars. Overall I believe this filming day was a success.

Production schedule for project

25% = January 17 (G Period)

For the 25 percent mark I want to have finished the choreography and script and have filmed the action scenes and dialogue that I would need. There also may be additional visual effect shots that I film incase I want to test those out.

50% = February 7 (G Period)

By this date I will have started the effects and be either near or done with the action scenes sword fights. I will be done with the first part of it which is just having a layout which won't be perfect. Also experiment with stylizing my video.

December 5th Tumblr

For today I was playing around with the effects of the lightsabers trying to create what I thought first differed from star wars and also looked cool. My idea is to make the fight over the last slice of Pizza, where the characters battle over the last slcie or maybe another food item.

CAS Thesis Proposal

(WORKING)TITLE: Shadows 

Purpose: The purpose of my project is to create a story about a person finding something from his past and conquering it. The idea of reflecting and moving forward will be portrayed within the film.The film will go back and forth through the time demonstrating the flashbacks.

Materials: Lightsabers(provided by xander and yasu), maybe costumes that are not related to star wars.

I am hoping to produce a short film that has a story arc about the development of a character and overcoming rivals.

My initial thoughts on the gallery project is that I will need a tv screen to showcase my video.

Since I can remember I’ve loved visual effects in movies. The star wars lightsaber was my favorite ones. As I grew older visual effects grew as well, along with that my understanding of the world has grown as well. I understood the mental struggles that can occur and how that affect someone. For my CAS project I want to mix those two into one. I want to make a story with primarily two characters, brother kind of figure, where the brothers train together and they hate eachother and have trauma. He becomes powerful and seeks out revenge. The ending is a secret ;). I look forward to my project.

Milanote

I understand that there may be simlarities to star wars but here is how I will differ, The differences are that the lightsabers a different texture and colors differing from the original ones. Secondly the story will be different, where there is a metaphor that is not instilled in the movies. There is a brother story linbe that dies not exist in star wars.

CAS MINI PROJECT SUMMARY OCT 11/25

This is the conclusion of my CAS mini project in which I wanted to test out my after effects abilities. I learned to create a planet in after effects, I learned how to use the camera function in after effects which can be used in the development of the my full CAS project. I then learned about after effects lightsabers were I learned to create motion blur for the lightsaber using choreography with two people. This project had some issues which I will tackle in my future projects but for now I feel confident in my work. My mini porject is in the one drive hand in folder.

Tumblr Post Number 2

Today I was planning to work on the planet but new circumstances didn't allow for that today, so I began researching and watching videos about the choreography of lightsaber duels along with how the sabers are made. Here are some videos I watched along with reference videos of lightsaber duels.
