Kaleidoscope

Working on Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope 1

Learning Corel Pinter is completely new for me. And I'm glad that we have been taught this semester.
Here is the final output of my Kaleidoscope.



For this image, I simply dissolved the black background for a different look. And I'm satisfied with this one. originally this image would look like this,



I started with very basic drawing with various brush strokes for different color selection.

Kaleidoscope 2

This is my second painting for my portfolio. I wanted to try a different style of painting with some vibrant colors. This is the first painting I've done so far on the computer. My experience is not bad at all. It's very convenient to draw and software tools are very effective. Especially with Adobe Corel Painter, I feel comfortable using it.

I will try to implement all the tools and techniques that have been taught in class in my future endeavors.

week 15

I had a Bug while using this website( i.e. Blogger.com)
Here, I’ve lost all my work from week 15 while updating my blog. It happened when I typed CTRL+Z to undo. and it did undo for the previous work. and included that file in week 15. I had this problem with another subject as well and I'm feeling insecure to use this site. I’m very disappointed.
I would like my tutor to take it as a consideration. I'll be reviewing it later but I am extremely lacking time at the moment.

Bicycle Thief

Italian based movie directed by Vittorio De Sica in 1948. It's considered as one of the best movies of this era and I strongly agree. while a man searches for a work hopelessly, one day there is a job with a man with a bicycle. A man along with his wife helps him to pawn a bicycle, which he would take every day to work as a poster hanger.

In a movie, a bike represents an essential asset for Ricci; a character who is entirely driven by class and economic need. The bike allows Ricci to go to work and earn some money to feed his wife and son.

In the movie, the use of nonprofessional actors is obviously seen. most of them act as to be not helpful and kind of bad. while in some scene like rescuing boy at the river. These people seem very helpful.

Character Arc: Antonio Ricci: When a movie starts, Ricci is curious to provide his family in economically suffering post-war Italy. however after a bike being stolen. Antonio undergoes a drastic change in character. He no longer carries the high moral standards as shown at the beginning of the movie. His self-pity makes him blind and ignorant to all the suffering around him. However, the journey to find his lost bicycle becomes fruitless and he fails. He becomes a vulnerable person to society. He even ignores his own son Bruno.  He undergoes some psychological thoughts regarding Bruno.  Later feeds him well at the restaurant, despite knowing the value of money and its tremendous importance for his family. he tends to treat their moment by forgetting whatever happened in the past.

Boys opinion of his father.  As they are big in number, They would put blame on Antonio for accusing insult and hurting a boy who seems to steal his bike. He is left heartbroken.

For me, the movie was a bit different with lots of suspense. It starts with a happy beginning to the sad ending. I feel very pitty for Antonio, he is such a nice guy who seems to be hardworking and loyal to his work. His son has beautifully improvised the act as a carefree child. Though he is underaged he works in a gas station to supper his poverty-stricken family. I find his acting very adorable.
The thief in the movie also seems to have a very extreme poverty driven life. The movie somehow humanizes the thief as he also suffered from a seizure, a critical medical condition.



Re-Doing my assignment after losing the original file.

Video Game History

Working on my digital paintings.

I try to imagine and create this image as I go along,
Lots of erasing and correction were made in the process.

For this image, I got the concept from cartoon movies and some of the good sample of digital paintings done by professionals online. Here I have added some rocky mountains with trees. and I decided to put the sun, which will be creating some hazy sort of scene.
Later I painted with some color. and here is my color palette for this particular image.

   

After completing with a painting I get this image, 

This is how far I have gone till now. and I still need to work on other digital paintings as my part of the assignment. For a bit up taste, I have put some Uniform grain and zoom the front mountain a little.

Some of my inspirational image from the website are as follows:

Week 2 Story idea sorted

Storyboard pro-Second class

want to be in timeline workspace
Continuing with previous class, we are told to add any new character if we want, so I decided to add a drawing of Rocket, that follows the guy just after he's blown away by a bird.

a preposition and resize ( start position and end position)
generate an arch to make smooth. it is possible to change duration as well by stretching out the timeline

IMPORTING SOUNDS.
waveform, solo track and listen to it separately.
scrubbing and dragging help to spot where exactly the sound is.
can also put snaps on.

Split right click and split the clip at the current frame.

Adjusting volume. right click to audio and alt+click let you add or delete volume key. (Drag up and want to adjust)

introduction to visual language:
Using simple visual clues help to create all kind of cool ideas and various emotions. Therefore a single image is powerful enough to tell a whole story.




How the camera angle can make a difference. (visual storytelling)

• Something which is bigger in the frame is most important. It can show characters such as villain be unstoppable and our character is triumph( a great victory or achievement), how power dynamics between players in the scene or visually show character's state of mind at the given story.
• how whereas smaller they are the most vulnerable they will be. Generally, the size helps to manipulate the audience's emotions, tension and drama show the characteristics of their location.
• Low camera angle can make your character look commanding or menacing. The image in this angle looks larger than life screen presence. the more extreme the angle the more dramatic the effect. If we go too far it might become comical and melodramatic but can be still okay if you are going for such a scene.
• Tilted camera angle may seem unbalanced.
• the wide-angle lens helps to manipulate the relative size of things on screen when they are staged correctly. This makes the foreground element to look larger and taller while making the background image look further away. 
• Staging:

Review your poster on a wall. critiques, your thoughts.

I have a concept of collecting every element from my story and present in my cover paper.
For this, I have spent some valuable time drawing temple, horses, and carts, jungle, and sky and I have literally drawn it without tracing. I struggled to finish it on time and had to work under a short time. I was having difficulties to catch up things basically with regards to teaching methods, assignments.

Writing a blog is a new thing for me, and speaking and listenings in English speaking environment is a new experience for me.

For further queries, you can refer to Toon Boom Storyboard Pro site. They pretty much have everything.

This image shows the staring dialogue box while starting the storyboard pro. Here we need to consider various settings like the Naming project name properly by including underscore(_) instead of space. It has to be of a certain length for naming the project. Project Directory should be chosen to the appropriate file destination.   Please note that it's not recommended to have an external hard disk drive as the destination folder. And it's better to keep everything in one single folder followed by various subfolders. Camera Size: Camera size for our project should be set to HDTV_1080p25After this you can simply create a project. for quick tips, Recent projects are shown in the right-hand side of the window.
