Plausible Impossibles

Plausible Impossibles

In the clip with Donald Ducks cousin Gus Goose, Gus has a very large appetite. A Plausible Impossible occurs when Donald Duck opens the door after Gus Goose knocks multiple times. Gus continues to hit Donald in the head because he doesn't realize that Donald has opened the door. This causes Donald's head to make noises that sound like dropping metal.  It's impossible for someones head to make the noises that Donald's did. It could be plausible because he hits Donald's head so hard with a wooden umbrella hook so maybe Donald just had some screws loose. 

In this short action when Donald realizes Gus is his cousin he puts his hand out for a handshake. Gus shakes Donald profusely up and down and moves him side to side as well. This is impossible because there is no way someone could shake another persons hand so hard that it shakes them that hard. But in the plausible perspective Gus is almost twice the size of Donald so the weight and height difference could help Gus shake Donald that hard. 

 When Gus smells the food Donald has prepared for himself, Gus goes ahead and sits down in Donald's seat and starts eating the food on the table. Gus grabs a piece of corn and started eating it so fast that it sounded like a typewriter making the ding sound and then having to push it back. Donald looks at him and starts watching him eat it like a typewriter and then Donald's head also follows the typewriter pattern. This is impossible because no one can eat corn that fast and then make it sound like a typewriter. But for the plausible explanation of it, it he is still twice the size of Donald so he can eat more/faster. 

While Gus is eating he up piles some sandwich bread and some sandwich meat. Gus shoots it into his mouth and swallows the big sandwich. When he did this he made his throat look like an accordion. Then his head bobbles up and down like an accordion. Also it makes the sound like an accordion to get across what the animators were trying to portray with the image of Gus's neck. This is impossible because no ones neck can turn into an accordion and move up and down. But from the plausible perspective of it, some people might get that feeling after eating to fast and swallowing too big of a bite. 






As the last plausible impossible in this clip I have chosen the par where Gus's stomach starts to bark. Donald is fed up wit Gus eating all of the food at the table so he brings out the "Barking Hot-dog" that "gets rid of any hungry relative." When Donald offers this to Gus he swallows it down right away and then Donald acts as a cat to anger the hot-dog. Then the hot-dog in Gus's stomach chases Donald down. Donald laughs in amusement because it is a odd situation This is impossible because there is no such things a barking hot-dog that chases you down through someones stomach. But it is plausible because someone could portray it has a hungry stomach barking for food. 

Movie Trailer Review

Overall I thought this project was not good. I though the idea of the project was creative and I was excited about completing it but when it came to shooting there was some struggles. The celtx website helped my group a lot when it came to organizing shots and the script. When it came time to shoot my groups video it took a long time. The process was very long and some of my group mates did not help completely. Also it was difficult to find the right actors that could actually shoot when we needed them to. With this it made the process longer and harder for the group and me. I would not recommend this project to others unless they actually have set aside time to shoot and collect all their clips.

In the article it mainly describes how to get yourself started in After Effects. The article tells you how you should set key frames, render, and move objects. The author does no provide an argument he just lists how to use after effects. The authors strengths is explaining in detail how to use the program. But his weakness he portrays is not providing enough information about how to start the project. He just expects you to understand how to start it. The authors general conclusions the he lists is to just have fun with the project and not get frustrated! My critique would be that the author needs to list reasons why after effects is helpful for animating. But I will use After effects for my projects in class!

The scope of the movie Finding Dory was to add another movie to the sequel of Finding Nemo. The purpose of the movie was to enlighten children minds and entertain them. The story that was told was how the blue fish, Dory, got lost from her home. She was lost at a young age and she forgets things easily so when she was trying to find her way back she could not remember. An element I would apply to my work would be the different variations of color the movie includes. With all the bright colors it makes the movie more interesting. One element I have already learned is the use of the puppet tool that the movie used often. The creator made creative graphics and included many new and interesting characters. I think the work does not need to be improved because it is such a good movie in general! Overall I though the movie was very cute and almost all children would love it!

Technical Tutorial Post-Animation

The skill I am teaching is how to render out your animation in Maya software. The purpose of this skill is to remember how to render when you are finished with your work. You need this skill memorized so you do not have to look it up every time you are ready to render. A student would use this technique because it would help them understand Maya software better. 

1) Make sure your Maya workspace is set in Modeling-Standard

2) Check to make sure your top bar of Maya matches this screenshot below

3) Change the little drop down tab from Modeling to rendering

4) The top of your Maya should now match the screen shot below

5) Last step is to go to the render tab > Batch render (Another Maya square will pop up and a little movie tab will pop up on the bottom of your screen. This lets you know that the movie is being rendered!)

   The scope of this project was to work on our animating skills in Maya Software. Our project was to make snowflakes fall from a window to make it look like it was a snowy morning. My process to make this project was to first go through the tutorials that were given then to slowly follow each step carefully to make the best project I could make. I learned how to increase my animating skills and learned how to adjust vertices to mirror an odd shape. Professionally I learned how to collaborate with the people I sit next too which helped when I had small questions. What I would different would have been to make more snowflakes to make it a continuous heavy snow. What I would do the same would be the lighting because the spotlight lighting gave a good effect to the corner of the wall. I will withdraw the animating for my next projects because I think it will help with the effect of my future projects. 

Personal Project Review-Video

Hello-Heise

The scope of my project was to show dramatic flare with the use of the song Hello by Adele. The process to making Hello was first collecting the correct information to complete credits. Then we had to create a small beat sheet that had a layout of our camera shots. Then we used the story board worksheet to imagine our future shots. Once we shot the scenes we all created our own edited video with filter, text, and dramatic flare. During the creation of the project I learned how to use the dolly which helps guide our camera sideways or any other direction. Something I learned professionally was the teamwork that we had to use to create the video and also the project deadlines which were very strict. What I would do differently would be to get the exact same filter that the real music video uses for Hello where the one I use was just something similar. What I would do the same would be the variety of shots that we included. The experiences I will draw from the project to enhance my future projects will be the teamwork because in covergence we mainly worked by our self's so when it came to working together it definantly challenged us.
