This featured story was covering chance the rapper who is an independent song writer. He makes a unique style of music that represents freedom through a mixture of R&B, Hip-Hop, Rap, and gospel. The video speaks about his journey from starting in a public library in his home town to hitting the leader boards repeatedly. The project is done by Robbin Roberts who is a well respected anchor in america who has been on the daily show good morning america for 12 years! What I would take away from her work would be the different edits that she applies to her work. One element I have already learned is the right interviewing skills. What Robbin did well in the interview with Chance was that she made him feel comfortable saying what he really felt. This work is flawless in my eyes so I would think it needs no improvement.

Technical tutorial 

The skill I will teach in this tutorial is how to render in Adobe After affects. The purpose of the blog is to inform student's on how to use simple tools in after affects. You don't necessarily need this skill unless you are using this adobe tool.

The first step to rendering your animation out would be to import your file into after affects.





















Next you move the file into the composition box and doing this turns it into a composition or an animation.












When you have all of your key frames set to your liking you need to send it to the render que

After it is sent to the render que you can render it out with ease by clicking the render button (make sure that once you render it, it should be sent to your desktop!) Once you click the render button it will start to load and then once it is completely rendered out it should make a little twinkle noise to say it is completed!

The scope of the movie The Incredibles was mainly to give kids the entertainment of a movie. The story of the movie is a secret family of superheroes. The dad has the power of super strength, the mom has a power of super strech, the oldest daughter has a power of invisibility, the oldest son has the power of super speed, and the youngest son has a power of shape shifter. The story is told about a boy who worshiped the dad (bob.) Bob ignored him and the young boy became angered and when he grew up he became a super villain and tried to battle the whole family. To sum up the story quick the family wins because good always defeats evil. From the movie I will take away the extreme detail to the characters faces and hope to put these details into my maya projects in the future. One element that I have already used before that is in the movie would just be the 3D animation. The creator of the movie did the motion of the movie very well and I can tell that the project took a long time. There really is nothing bad with this project since it is a professional project done by pixar.

The scope of this project was to perfect our skills with a walk cycle, puppet tool, ball bounce,  and a multi-plane. My process of making this final project was first using a story board to lay out my plan of the scene clips and such. After planning out my project I worked on all the skills for two weeks to make my project the best it could be. What I learned along the way was how to fix simple mistakes and how to scan drawings into my computer. What I would different next time is I would use illustrator instead of photoshop to draw everything because illustrator makes everything look crisper. What I would do the same would be the general idea of the project which was a chase scene. The experiences that I will take away from this project will be the time management. I learned that I need to come in to finish the project and that I need to use my time wisely in class. 

Tutorial-Video

"How to" Blog:Video 

The skill for this blog that I will teach is how to make a clip slower or faster for a nice effect. The purpose for this "How to" is to teach someone how to make a clip more interesting. They could either make it slower and give it a sense of humor or make it faster to save time. The intended audience of this tutorial is mainly kids in my class because some of them ask and some of them go on google so I am trying to save their time by just telling them to go to my blog. 

Step 1-Select a clip of choice to make slower or faster 

Step 2-Right click your selected clip and scroll up to Speed Duration

Step 3-This little box will pop up and you change the percentage. Right now it is set to 100%. To slow it you should lower it to about 50% and to speed it up you should set it higher like 120%.

Featured review

For this project we were told that we needed to come up with a featured story. After brainstorming different ideas I nailed it down to the pressure of student athletes. I tried to mainly focus on students here at northwest that live the busy lifestyle. I tried to dig the deep details out of students by interviewing some of them. My process for completing this video was the initial idea, interviewing, and taking b-roll. I learned how to sequence the clips together with the help of Mr.Cooper. Professionally, I learned how to get correct b-roll for my video to help to make sense. What I would different would be getting more b-roll and remembering to turn on the sound so I could get some natural noise in my video. What I would do the same would be the interviews because I felt like my interviews were very strong throughout the whole video. The experiences that I will draw from this video would be the out of school video shooting which I found was very tiring because I had to do a lot of walking around the school.

Interview Review 

     Our latest assignment we were given was to do an interview with someone in our class. My process that I proceeded to do was to first do my actual interview with my partner Courtney Honors. I talked with Courtney about her summer trip and moved on once I got the right information. Once I had all my clips I made a script that matched with the topics from the interview. After I completed my voice overs and embedded them into my video I realized that the video is missing something called B-roll. B-roll taught me that It helps bring the video together and make it more organized. I learned that it is difficult to get B-roll when the event has already happened. For my next interview I will make sure my voice over doesn't just ask the questions and then the interviewee answer them. What I would do the same would be to include B-roll which will help make the video make more sense. The experiences I will draw from this project will be the face-to-face interview which defiantly helps with life skills.
