Looking back through my animation i am alright with how it turnhed out However
Next time I create an animation I would like a plot that is more clear to the viewer, something more emotional too
I would also use thinner lines as I think having thick lines does not suit my style and does not reflect how i wish my animation to be.
I would also like to be able to create better effects like shading and just overall better looking

Computer Milestones 1980's
Int he 1980's animation hit a few mile stone in the tech department, after the flop of tron, they started a few experiments, one of those being mixing 2d and 3d animation together to create a final product
Live action was also mixed with Animation in things such as music videos. like take on me which is now stuck in my head.

WHat I have done:
Character design
Basic ship design
Base Info for Rangi
What I should be up to date:
Never made a plan, I am a horrible planner :D
What I need to do
Finnish writing up the character info
Start some good concept art for character and diffrent poses
Get together the scattered info of my reserch and put it together (want to show this too) as in where I got the info of research and in a way my thinking, (not that I am right now T-T)

History in motion Capture: Overview
Montion capture first began in the 70's where they started experimenting with computer generated images captured from real life, of course this isn't the first instance of motion capture, as previously animators would use real life people to animate from, however they were not done on the computer, or captured in real-time.
Uncanny vally:
Its where something seem so human but something is slightly off making the image or animation unsettling to humans, this is more often when realistic animation or motion capture is done but not quite realistic.
This one probably doesn't fall into the category but its hilarious as fuck.

Low Concept Film
A film with a generic plot, one that can easily be repeated and replicated, in other words a basic formula for a movie.
High Concept Film
A film with a highly though out plot, something that is out of the ordinary and brings something new and exciting to the playing field.
Which films paved the way for Hollywood Blockbuster films.
A lot of horror movie such as friday the 13th and Nightmare of elm street, also things such as Superman, Starwars, and back to the future
Thoughts sequels
Sometimes sequels work and add more to the world that has previously built an example would be back to the future, it adds more to the world without becoming completely unnecessary
and for others,
some
reaaallly
just need to be left alone.
Other then batman a film that made more from merchandising
Star wars has a huge market, it has a large amount of fans same with Superman, even more so then the star wars films, Superman was long running before it got a movie adaption in the 80's
Now:
Star wars
The starwars fandom is huge, fans need merch.
Marvel:|
The MCU need I say more, fans eat up mercindise faster then my dog eats her breakfast who wouldn't want anything from the fandom its amazing.

The book:
I already know the stuff in here but i need something to put here.
What can I look into that can help me build my character:
Seeing as my character is going to be in a space/sci-fi themed world/story I want to look into Outer Space, and also the Ocean seeing as the are many parallels between the two.
Something that draws people to a character is basing traits of them on real life facts, things that the people can dig into, something that will make the character more interesting,
Space Stuff: (of course being sci-fi I can still make stuff up)
001279622714P- her miniships serial/register code.
Moons in the Solar System
Thing I can look into:

Books:
Games:
Destiny 2.
- Hive like enemies
- various enemy types
- ghosts (like a personal ai or something)
-Various planets have been colinised
- human life span has been made longer
StarBound:
- 5 vanilla races
- Teleportation to and from the ship
- protector's of the universe (hudshfhuforgotwhattheyarecalled)
-mainly to build and explore
Fact Stuff:
At the center of galaxies exists a black hole.
The Andromeda galaxy is the closest galaxy to the milky way
Sombrero Galaxy - has a super massive black hole (might be the biggest recorded)
Dark Matter:
Most of the stuff about Dark matter is theory it is supposedly some sort of fluid-energy
The universe is around 68% dark energy and 27% Dark Matter 5% Normal Matter
Asteroid Belts:
The asteroids can contain valuable metals: Iron Titanium, water can even be found on them
which according to the site could be used for colonies.
They would be a target for mining.
Gravity can pull asteroids out of the belt
Black Holes:
A black hole is something with such intense gravity that nothing can escape it including light
Stellar mas black holes are created when humongous stars explode
Supermassive black holes exist within the heart of Galaxies
Sagittarius is the black hole in the center of the milky way containing the mass of 4 million suns
Gravity:
Gravity varies from planet to planet, we are set to Earths gravity, but in space there is no such thing, taking into fact that im going to have multiple aliens from different planets with varing intensities of gravity A ship would have difrent levels of gravity in each room or maybe. there could be some device that each creature has that can auto fix the gravity for them.
Of course I can ignore this, my age rang for this is teens and up, on the one hand it might teach more about gravity and put an interesting twist on the sci-fi world and on the other it might be complicated for some.
Gravity is set to something, some might need devices to altar their own gravity due to living needs (some might be too weak or too strong)
Magnetic Fields:
A planets Rotation can generate a magnetic field
Earth has a powerful magnetic field and is the most dense planet in the solar system
It can have an effect on Solar wind emitted by stars
The Northern Lights on Earth are because of Earths magnetic field clashing with Ionized Particles (gonna look into what they are)
Characters paralleling Planets: https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/greek-vs-roman-gods/
I would aslo like them to have attributes of the gods that the planets are named after
MainBCharacter _ Earth/Terra/Gaia (protector of Earth?)
Is dense is personality ( most dense planet in the solar system )
(Gaia was the goddess of the earth (she was a titan)
Venus is considered Earth sister planet so main can have a sister:
Mars - one day will have a ring, signs of life
Uranus is Cold, moons named after shake spear characters
Not all planets will have oxygen or the same gravity, gravy adjuster things could be use for people though they might not be able to create less gravity only more
Black holes could be warp holes that as of so far only celestial can utilize.
the bigger the black hole the easier to use.
No one can live close to the event horizon of a black hole, it is too dangerous, as if any did they would be lost to the black hole.
Universal time, the universe wouldn't go by the time of one planet, so there would be a universal time so things could still be done, it would be wildly different from earth though,
for example an hour in universal time could be 18 day on earth.
From: Earth/Terra/Gaia - New Zealand
Maori/celestial
Units - measurements
Light years - Speed
Ticks - Time
Names:
Rangi - meaning sky
Moana - meaning ocean (nope will be seen as the disney movie ref)
Whetu - meaning star (fe-tu)
Marama - Moon
Pania - mainen name in maori myth
Hauku - Dew
she would be 15 so she wouldn't really have a propper job yet job shit is dependent on species
Why the heck is she in space what does she do.
not trying to find her mother
Humanity is spread out through the solar system. but they havent spread further,.
The aliens she travels with usualy collect materials from asteroids (astroid miners)
One or two are solders in the universal goverment, the gov is made up of (high ranking up of) 18diffrent species, or somthing not every race can be represented but any race has the oppertunity of getting there (by hard work) Some think otherwise though it is a divided opintion
(kind of liek the pumbers i guess?)
The band she lives with (travel in a ship) They basicly are free lance group who mainly Sell materials from asteroids, they are also mercineries, with morals
Im not sure I will use diffrent time, as while it will be more realistic it may end up being confusing
Tick - hour (2.5 Earth hour)
Tlicks - I day
3333 15
Universal time
Second - normal
Minute - 60
Hour - 2 earth
60 in an hour, h
Screw it, Universal time is Basically Earth time now
A year in Universe time
Universe time is actually on a main planet one of the early races to space travel and it ended being picked up
A year on the planet would be about 20 months
One Universal year - 1.7 earth year
15 years in Universal year 180 months old 20 months in a year
Wings on her celestial form- the celestial being could be ocean inspired.

Out of all the films we watched I found this one the most entertaining This film was written by the AI and interpreted by people and acted out following what they made of the script, The narrative made no sense but taking in the fact that it was created by an AI makes it funny, ( seeing how it tried to make a film)
Its no game:
I found this one the least entertaining which narrative wise it made more sense I found it quite boring, it was co-written by the AI and human writers.
Zone out
This one was written and directed by the AI, I found this one as well boring, I think If the face swap was of better quality I might have been slightly more interested,I don't think it was as spontaneous as the first I think having the actors interperate the script gave it that funny edge to it.

Animatic
The animatic was completed and turned in
Rach did all the drawing for the animatic (great job btw) and I worked on the audio with putting them into the animatic, Rach and I both looked for the sounds in the Data drive.
We also scoped out a location to film, and claimed it
Unfortunately the animatic file is too big to upload to Blogger

1970-1975
A change that happened in film:
The biggest change in the film and animation industry during this era, was that a lot of animations and films were being created for adults, being targeted towards a mature audience, the films included things such as nudity and foul language.\ and morbid themes.
The films in this Era were very experimental
There were other things such as stop motion films such as Dougal and the Blue Cat
Hungary released a full feature length film.
big production films.
A few animations from this Era:
Dougal and the Blue Cat\
The Pinchcliffe Grand Pix
Hugo the Hippo - first featuer lenght movie from Hungary

Story:
5 guys a loitering in a museum, Ray, Reese Judus, Dan and Cole, Banging is heard from the ceiling and Ray falls through the roof screaming, he falls onto a spike surrounding a giant boulder, he bangs his head onto the boulder sending it rolling.
Reese, Judus and Dan run away from the boulder, Reese and Dan run to the sides, while Judus runs in front of it, as expected the boulder catches up to him squashing him flat, Reese backs up at the sight of seeing two people die, he bangs into something and looks back to discover he knocked into a tall suit of armor, when he knocked into it he dislodged a giant axe poorly tied to the wall, the axe swings around and cuts of Reese's head.
Dan looks over the scene of dead people, he isn't scared just happy that he unlike the others didn't die, Ray then brings it up that he is as well dead to, dead from a heart attack, Cole butts in introducing himself, and revealing he was dead the entire time having died from starvation.
After talking a bit they hear the scream of someone new to see its a janitor.

Review:
I found this film amazing, not only is it a New Zealand film Set in New Zealand, it has great comedy and is shot in an interesting way, that would be in documentary view, All the characters added great assets to the film and even though it does not have a story line as is in usual movies, it follows a simple kind of story or a slice of life story if you will.
Also has some great NZ actors as well.

Create a animation meme/trend

While memes are not a trend in themselves they are in their own catagory.

La Jetee
La Jetee
The Film La Jetee was created my Chris Marker, who was a director and a writer it was created in the year 1962, the film is created within the surrealism area of film making.
Inspired by: A trip to a movie (apparently)
My review:
Once again I was almost falling asleep, the use of voice over for the entire film was a bad desision and I couldn't pick up the plot at all, I also think that they used way to many still shots, it didn't draw my attention at all

The Film La Jetee was created my Chris Marker, who was a director and a writer it was created in the year 1962, the film is created within the surrealism area of film making.
Inspired by: A trip to a movie (apparently)
My review:
Once again I was almost falling asleep, the use of voice over for the entire film was a bad desision and I couldn't pick up the plot at all, I also think that they used way to many still shots, it didn't draw my attention at all

why....
How can I create a successful animation trend? (in other words a meme).
Maybe instead I could create an OC map Orrrrr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpCWAK_B3cI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_v5skyVZqw
Trend, continue or create a parody
Create a animation that carries on like a chain, or create something that can be repeated by various people,
Other then a meme I could extend this to an animation colab for various people to add their own ideas and characters too, starting off with mine
What I have noticed about various animation memes, is that they are short and have a beat too it, nothing that would take ages to animate yet interesting original and up to pop culture on most occasions.
This is something that also occurs in animation colabs, if I make it bouncy and reference what is in modern culture without coming off as
(Next Player, boss fight style? It has the option of being a chain or repeated creation)
One to look into: The Floor is Lava - By PaintedSerenity
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCphc0IiT-_ySBXvaliONvsA
The music used in this creation is from this person https://www.youtube.com/c/niviro
I don't know if they had permission to use their music in their animation.
Im not sure about the character either (yet) whether is is an oc (which would make the meme a form of OC map) or if it was created specifically for this animation.
Unable to find the same character on their other youtube videos or their devient art so i think it is logical to say that the character was made for the meme.
Most of their characters a felines
Colabs and Animation Memes
Animation memes are creations that can be recreated in any way the creater or parody maker wants as long as it sticks to the base source, It usually is pretty short and repetitive as it wont be too much work for others to create
When and if I make one im not expecting it to get far as I don't have any print in the animation culture on youtube as of yet. that thing takes time in which I wont have while making this
Colabs on the other hand are usualy done in a group and arn't chains, I supose a combination of both would be some sort of colab chain meme where people just add onto what exist instead of making a parody.
What kind of visuals ?Visuals really depend on the type of artist and their style, but one thing most of the memes and colabs have in common is that they are very simple they aren't intricate for the most part, ones that are, are stills some with boning to move them.
no
What kind of character would draw in people?
A character that fits the type of meme im going for, example, for the bipolar meme the character is intricite and crazy looking and for the Floor is lava meme, the character is very rounded and sppealing to the eyes with a pastle pallet
Is for bipedal or quad, I think A cat like creature might be best however i am thinking of using my Icon Eeeble for this creation.
Level: Icon
Music?
Should I create or or Parody another?
Look into Colabs and Memes
What was the goal in mind when they were created?
What is something that would draw an audience in?
What kind of visuals ?
What kind of difficulty?
What kind of character would draw in people?
How can I make something that others would want to as well?

Animation 1965-1970
Overview from my eyes:
Animation in this time was in my opinion very spoof like, and light harted
During this time films such as The jungle book was created.
This Era of animation held a wide variety of animation types, it was the age of experimentation within the animation community.
Some of the animation from this era was of very high quality like the ones from disney.
That is not to say the ones with more sketchy and jittery movements were not good
(unlike some of today *cough cough* Ben 10 reboot)

Pdf listing what we are doing
Story:
Satan comes home from work to discover his high score on the claw machine has been beaten by Hitler, He must reclaim top score.
Taking in the fact we are making bases to have the clay cover it will be more of a puppet animation then true claymations
We could possibly replace the claw machine with an arcade game, such as tetris or pong
Act One:
Satan Walks in through a door into his gaming room, walking past several games before spotting hsi claw machine
He then looks at the score and to his disappointment, surprise and anger, his top score has non-other has been beaten by Hitler,
Act Two:
Satan storms up to the machine glaring at Hitler's score. He pulls out a truckload of tokens from his pocket and slams one into the machine, and starts to play, he carefuly minuvers the claw to a plushie and picks it up, he grins, the claw is dragged to the prize drop but it falls out of the claws grasp before it reaches the drop, He is pissed, (smoll montage of him trying and failing)
Concentrating hard he finally wins a prize. he then wins a few more.
Act Three:
Satan looks up at the scoreboard to find his score is now back at the top, Satan Celebrates and dances, He then stops as he hears the machine working, he looks at the machine and (---) is there playing, (---) then goes to the top score, SATAN RAGES.

BEEN WAITING TO USE THIS STORY
THE FUCKING AFTERLIFE
ok so, its basically its about 5 guys who die and they are complete morons, they end up going around each afterlife fucking all the shit up, though the comic itself will just to the pilot, in other words its about them all dying.
seeing as this will count as exposure, i will have another option in case, i would love to make both if possible but Im not sure, sticking to one if i need but two would be awesome.
the other idea I have is basically a slice of life comic of a costume maker that makes shit for all types of races, merfolk centaurs elves humans all the shit.

Box-Trolls
I recently watched this stop-motion feature film, The animation is
extremely smooth that it can be mistaken for CGI however this entire
film is stop-motion which I find very impressive.
The best thing about this film is the after credits scene, it not only
breaks the forth wall but it does so by showing a time-laps of the animators moving
the puppets and zooming out to show the set of the scene.

Breathless
Breathless Review:
I found this film quite boring as I feel as through it was a bit dragged out within the love area. to me the old romance in films is too sappy and drawn out,
Alongside this I found the plot very hard to follow, and ended up zoning out every now and then I also found that characters not that deep in personality, I didn't notice their struggles that much as the acting and the way most characters are built in that time, they seem more (idk liquid, fluid) in personality then what is produced today.
The one thing that annoyed me most in the film was the jump-cuts majority of these were unnecessary and made the film look very tacky.

Research Question
How can I create a successful animation trend (in other words a meme).
What I have noticed about various animation memes, is that they are short and have a beat too it, nothing that would take ages to animate yet interesting original and up to pop culture on most occasions.
(im not sure if the artist of theese memes are the original creators of the trend)
What was the goal in mind when they were created?
What is something that would draw an audience in?
What kind of visuals ?
What kind of difficulty?
What kind of character would draw in people?
How can I make something that others would want to as well?

Alternate Idea
Small dragon fighting demons.
A small dragon is running through a Forrest or something trying to reach the other side to its friend though its has been forever blocked by a demon, the dragon must fight its way to its friend.
Looks at mountin so destination is shown.
Determined look on dragon face
(the longing to be near family and friends. the demon could be its counter or reflection of its self, then not physically but Mentally, we all have to somehow overcome our demons.
Maybe there is no fight, inner fight, you cant run away
It has to face it before passing, it can not run away the more it runs the worse it gets,
You have to face your demons before you ,move on
Maybe no fight just a confrontation
when finally confronted its a reflection of the dragon.
or the demon is the part of yourself that you don't like, you need to accept yourself before you move on
the other dragon might not be necessary its just about the dragons and its demon.
instead of a big fight the dragon just tries to dodge before realizing it has to face and get past its demon.
A small dragon is running through a Forrest or something trying to reach the other side to its friend though its has been forever blocked by a demon, the dragon must fight its way to its friend.
Looks at mountin so destination is shown.
Determined look on dragon face
(the longing to be near family and friends. the demon could be its counter or reflection of its self, then not physically but Mentally, we all have to somehow overcome our demons.
Maybe there is no fight, inner fight, you cant run away
It has to face it before passing, it can not run away the more it runs the worse it gets,
You have to face your demons before you ,move on
Maybe no fight just a confrontation

I was thinking of creating something other then my pleb story but, I think I will stick to the base of the story and pull around a few ideas for the details of the story
Thus far I have a small creature being hunted then the tables turn.
Extended Ideas:
Alian like flora and fauna
Dark colours with hints of fluorescent
White lines. as contrast the to dark fill colours.
Small skinny creature, looking for food, then it shows that it is being hunted by a creature,
(it was previously a character called Loaf but it was not intimidating enough)
I don't want the creatures to talk as I would have to find voice actors and create dialog but I don't need it, to create a decent story

Story Ideas - Stopmotion
Stop motion or more specifically claymation has this off putting look to it for me, especially if you suck at sculpting.
Ideas:
cannibal babies
Empty eyes
- Eyes are the window to the soul so what if each persons eyes matched their personality
Dead souls/lost souls, hunt the living for their souls to make them feel more real.
Ent Like creature that hunts tramping humans as revenge for its fallen kin
I want to create something creepy yet sad the thing that happens happens because of something sad something that comes from sorrow and anger.
Butterfly creature getting revenge on a human for picking its flower.

New design
another version of the pleb i am designing, the story is not set in stone though i am pretty sure this thing will end up being a character in my animation
nitial Ideas
What type of stop motion?
I am thinking of either going for claymation or puppets, either of those seem like they would be the most easyiest options, more so on the claymation option as there is no boundary to the shape the clay can take
It could be possible to do a mix of the two mediums having a puppet for the main body and clay for details such as expressions in the face.
What type of story?
So far I don't have much of an idea but I would be chill with comedy to horror, im planning on teaming up with someone so this will be discussed further with them
I am Planning on teaming up with Rach so, we are both going to come up with several ideas for stories and on our next meeting we will converse and mesh our ideas into whatever the horror of a story will be the outcome

Dragons Lullaby
I love the simple and smooth animation in this film. the designs are also great and I love the story
also dragons are awesome
It is very long for an animation and I wont be going anywhere near this time range for my story. I do like the typical story line, though it is old school I don't think its a bad thing, just as long as it not the only thing people do.

French New Wave
Overview:
The new french wave began in around the 1950's,
The new french wave began in around the 1950's,
it brought on a new perspective in the film making industry.
It encouraged film makers to express their views and creations of their own minds.
Before this wave had hit France film making was an expensive endeavor, films in that time had to have a backing from a film making company to make it possible to create. Thought through the French new wave equipment had become cheaper and people started making films and proved you do not need a big budget to produce a good film, only a good imagination.

Proposal
2s animation story idea.
Story: Don't hunt the Pleb? Might rename.
Smol pleb being hunted by a monster. I wont be using the animation I created first semester as it is WAAAY to long adding to that i had way to many characters.
Possible characters
Pleb and Loaf (not scaled)
Pleb the hunted
- jumpy and quick animation, short cuts unatural
Loaf the hunted
-slowing and bouncy blubber animation, no sharp turns it is basically a fat pug.
