Introduction

During the Explorations Unit. The main purpose of out work was to show our own creatively and combine all the skills that we’ve learned in Digital Media and in our own elective classes. In digital Media, we went through a weeks worth of time on learning new project choices, We branched from photoshop skills, Audio Editing, learning how to make music through pro tools, and many more. I’d say it was definitely our most creative and productive unit yet.

Animation

In Animation, I decided to explore the ways of a walking figure. A person more specifically. I had to learn a lot of frame by frame drawing skills that could let me have the most unique and human-like walking form. I was really shocked by how down to detail and intricate drawing someone walking is. The process was done on photoshop at first to draw every frame out, then it was brought into Adobe After Effects to place onto a canvas and rendered out into a video.

Music Production

Towards the end of the year, we were taught how to use Pro tool and Reason. These 2 applications have so much in store. You can create pretty much anything with them. In Pro Tools, I was able to make beats for the background of a soundtrack very easily. And in Reason, we had access to almost every sounding instrument to play, that was very fun to explore. I got to explore a bunch of different instruments and saw how they fit into a certain song. It’s crazy that you can just put any instrument in the background and make a soundtrack sounding cool!
