Dream-House Animation

This was a house that I created using Google Sketch-Up. The main idea of the project was to create a house that was a one-story building, that had a pitched roof, and an overhang. The process it took to make it was first, I had to find a floor plan that I could use to start building. Once I got my plan, I started building. It wasn't easy at first. The hard part was to create the house to start out with. If you didn't know what you were doing, then you wouldn't know what to put in. My house took me a while to figure out an I had to start over many times. What I learned along the way was how to use Google-Sketch-Up, and how to add components. Components make things much easier but take a lot of space in your file. What I would do differently next time is try to come up with more creative ideas. What I would do the same is add components because they make building so much easier. What I will draw from this experience is that I know how houses were designed and how hard it is to do so. In conclusion, I liked this project better than the chair because I had more time to work on it, and I had someone to help me a lot at home who knew the software.

Animation Project

Scope:

This Animation project I did was the first project I ever did in Keynote and in iMovie. The idea of the project was to create a 30 second animation that interests you and interests others. 

Process:

How I created it was first I had to come up with an idea. Then once I had an idea, I had to storyboard it. After I was done with my storyboard, I started animating in Keynote. The animating was very difficult at first because you had to make the opening scene and that takes the longest, but after that it is pretty easy because you can duplicate multiple slides. Along the way my work did not save in keynote, so I lost 2 days of work, but I caught up in time for the deadline. Then I exported it to iMovie to edit my video of how long the time lapse of each slide will be and I added sound effects. 

What I learned:

I learned the different thing in keynote and how you can use shapes to make a lot of different things. The deadline was also very fast, so you had to go very fast in your animation to get it done. 

What I Would Do Differently Next Time:What I would do differently next time is try to go faster, because I had a complex story but I wasn't always focused. 

What I Would Do The Same:What I would do the same is try to create a fun little story that everyone would enjoy. 

Overall:This was a great experience and now I know what to expect an animated video to look like.
