Photoshop Animation 2




 


This week we focussed on Rotoscoping animation in Photoshop. I enjoyed the freedom it gave compared to other animation we had done, especially using animation to represent the motion in a video such as with the buggy video where the animation is following the motion and therefore the focal point for the spectator. If I were ever to use animation in a project I would prefer to rotoscope instead of using the puppet-warp like previous Photoshop animations. For my independent animation with my own footage, I decided to reuse an EX close-up shot from a previous project and expanded on the idea of the shot of representing an abrupt awakening. This very much inspired the monochrome to high saturation CMYK pallet I used

Degree Project Digital Media Analysis

  Today we were shown a process of analysing Media to better understand the why and how of it all. Here are two examples, one was of my own choice, the other a given example. Both are very different but the framework can be used to analyse both. My choice: Gears of War, EPIC Games   https://www.xbox.com/en-US/play/games/gears-of-war-ultimate-edition/BQT21VXFS52F   (2006, 2017) 1. What type of media is it? A 3rd-Person cover Shooter developed primarily for Xbox 360 2. What initial promise/s does it give? A single/ two player set of detailed levels full of set pieces and various encounters as well as a 6V6 online multiplayer mode with various arenas and characters to play with 3. What is its purpose & function? A 3rd person shooter game designed to always be played with others, with or against. 4. What are its unique/unexpected qualities & ideas? One team will always play as subterranean monsters 'Locust' one team will always play as humans. On the surface it is made to s

Degree Project: Brand Touchpoint Matrix

Image
  https://brandtouchpointmatrix.com/ Yesterday, we were introduced to the Brand Touchpoint Matrix which is essentially a tool that maps properties of different user experiences and the user journey with a brand in all of its aspects From advertising/ Introduction, to customer service, to the service itself and also perhaps the surrounding community of a brand too. The two Axes for this graph are the length of an interaction vs how personal an engagement is so a short, impersonal engagement could be just seeing a social media ad for a brand where as a more personal and lengthy interaction could be using a brand product or service that was advertised or engaging with a community. https://brandtouchpointmatrix.com/ I thought it would be helpful to attempt this myself for a game, which is my chosen medium for my degree project, with the aspects of the brand I am making, I'd mark out the desired customer path with a specific user scenario I had in mind, keep in mind that this Matrix is

Degree Project Initial ideas

 For my degree project I have 3 initial ideas: 1.  A first-person puzzle platformer game developed in Unreal Engine 5, the main mechanic would be the player having the ability to switch out a set of platforms with another which the player would use to progress through the level. There would probably be 3 levels and a hub world to connect each level with each level setting a different type of challenge to the player, going beyond just a change to the layout of obstacles, i.e. with my current plan I would have a level to get the player more familiar with the mechanics such as the switching platforms mechanic if I can implement it, platforms that appear and disappear on a timer, platforms and other terrain that have their gravity activate when the player touches them which should be fairly easy to implement because of "setenablegravity" which could be tied to collision with the player. the game would be similar to Portal (2007) and Portal 2 (2011) too I think which is one of its
