When I was thinking of ideas for this project I was trying to incorporate the idea of the peak into the letters APEX and this is what I came up with. I also like the idea of adding a water tower on top of the letter X to make it more related to Apex.
For this project, I worked with Claire and Emmaly. We were stuck between several ideas for this project. We came up with the ideas of having stuffed animals come to life, building a house, playing iphone apps (like 2048 using sticky notes). We ended up combining the ideas of stuffed animals coming to life and playing on the iphone.This is our story board and basically we just wanted the stuffed bear to roll to the phone after a person leaves a room and the bear turns on the iphone to play the game Snake. The bear then loses the game after the snake eats a few apples and then the bear rolls back over when he hears the person come back up the stairs.
We found that this project was difficult when we had to stop working for the day and come back the next day trying to find the same angle the camera was placed the day before. We also found it difficult to try and work with the camera at some points. We got the hang of it by the last day though. If there was anything I wanted to fix, it would be the audio. The audio is a little off but if we had more time, we could have fixed that up better. I feel like we did a great job of incorporating all the things we did from our storyboard to our animation video.
Hope you enjoy the video!!
The person I chose to research was a person who goes by the name PES. PES is just one person, not a company name. PES has made several different videos which I like. Some examples include his western pasta (video on left), game over (video below), KaBoom!, and fresh guacamole. I just thought that PES was very professional and I like how it all flows very well and it all looks very realistic.
My inspiration for this piece was my Aunt because she does yoga everyday and I thought of her when I was creating a pose to do for this project. When I was creating the background for this project, I did a blue and yellow sand gradient color, like the beach, because I would love to do yoga on the beach one day. One problem I came across was coming up with a pose for this project because it did take me a while to think of something to use. I also got overwhelmed with all the brushes that I had no idea of what brush to use. If I were to do this project again, I would change the brushes just to test out which brushes I like more than others. The brushes I used were the sparkly ones (my favorite), the leaf-looking ones, and just some plain ones so that I could create some swirls on the side and around me.
