How I made my own projector for my Afrofuturism Collage

For my Afrofuturism Collage Project for my Intro to Computer Graphics class, we had to take five or seven things that meant a lot to us and find images of those things that could represent what we wanted to put in the collage. 

One of the images I chose to showcase what meant to me was a projector, meant to show that I love movies. The image I picked to showcase that was this: 



While I thought this was a great image to use to showcase what I'm passionate about, I knew I couldn't just "use" this image for my collage. It's clearly someone else's work. So, I thought "How can I make this my own?" and came up with a great idea. 

First, I imported the image into Photoshop as background. 

Secondly, I put a layer over the image of the projector and decreased its opacity so I could see the image clearly. 

Thidly and finally, I began to trace over the image and adding my own spin to the look of the projector. Making it more cube like and blue, adding a little red antenna on it, and a small crowd made out of three shapes. 

All together, it came out like this:


 


I really liked how it turn out and it was fun to really make this my own.

GIF TUTORIAL Assignment

  Here is a GIF of the Lake Tahoe Shore I did within Photoshop                                                                                            Here is a GIF of Daffy Duck I made also via Photoshop. I chose this clip because I adore the Looney Tunes characters and thought this particular scene from their new series would fit this particular assignment perfectly. I had trouble trying to make this work as a gif, but taking away some of the frames from the original video finally got it to where I wanted it to be.

The Witness and Alberto Mieglo

 One of my favorite shows streaming on Netflix right now is called "Love Death and Robots"  The show, which was originally meant to be a remake of the 1981 anthology film "Heavy Metal", is an adult anthology show consisting of several animated shorts spread across each season. Each short ranges in style and tone but the overall theme of all of the shorts goes back to the title.  I remember watching the first season of the show back when it premiered in 2019. While I loved majority of the shorts, one of them that really stood out to me, visually at least, was the third short of season one: "The Witness".  "The Witness" is a thriller following a woman who witnesses a murder and is spotted by the killer. She is then pursued through the streets of Tokyo as she attempts to escape the killer.  Once separates this short from the others in that season is the distinctive style. The art style is done completely in CG and looks very much like something out ...

Kevin Temmer

For awhile now I've had the absolute pleasure of subscribing to the wonderful Kevin Temmer on Youtube. I really admire what he does and love the content he puts out. Tremmer is a professional animator as well as a singer/songwriter. On his Youtube channel he uploads all sorts of great stuff from songs that he's written to his own CG animated content. What makes his content particularly unique to me is how he uses both his talents for animating and songwriting to combine them into great musical videos with a distinct style.  The songs themselves are all comedic in tone and can range from being about depression, exhaustion or breaking down the basic plot structure of an animated film. Temmer has even written songs based around certain memes that are honestly pretty catchy and are done in a way that is very funny.  The animation style he'll use in his own music videos have a style to them that is mix between character designs that evoke a 2D look and character designs that evo...
