For the Invasive Species website we had to use so many tools I had no idea that all of those even existed. I think the hardest part was making sure all the coding was right.
This house I made over the past couple of weeks has been quite a challenge. Even though I had some trouble with the house I still ended up with a pretty decent outcome.
So far in e9 I have had the privilege to go through three strands: video, graphic design, and animation. All three of these strands have been a good learning experience. I'm leaning towards video and graphic design for the next year and junior year I hope to focus mainly on journalism. I'm am really enjoying e-communication and I am defiantly planning on staying in the program.
For this10 word project we had to come up with 10 words that describe us and our personality's. Instead of using a frame timeline I used a video timeline and make the words fly into the background picture. I would have to say that the video timeline was more difficult because we had to mess with every word in the picture instead of just copying frames. I thought that the timing was the most difficult in this project because if one word was timed wrong it practically messed up the whole project, but I stayed calm and fixed the problem by asking Mr.Olsen and my peers next to me. Overall I liked this project because it wasn't very stressful. I would defiantly recommend this project to a friend
For this project I enjoyed the whole procedure very much! I thought this was really fun because I was used to using the new tools and I could control it more. I would deeply suggest a friend to do something like this. I learned that you need to make many slides for the animation to look realistic. Also I leaned the squash and stretch method which really works!
