The obvious ways to get the juice out are using a juicer/squeezer, squeezing it by using your hand and stepping on it. There are many creative ways to get the juice out of lemon, such as dropping a box, throwing the lemon in a boxing ring full of hippos and many more. The point of the tutorial is that as a creative people, we must research to find inspiration, use are skill, and understanding that we all make mistakes so we can correct them.]]> 2022-01-31 14:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2021356587 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2027281731 This game has shown me inspiration to create my animation. The game is set in a futuristic city in 2038, where there are humanoid androids and 3 of them, who are the main characters, start to have feelings like an actual human. Instead of using credit cards, people use the androids to get an item and they pay through communication to another android. For the books, magazines, etc., instead of being paper paged, they are digital tablet-like devices. You can just drag/scroll the pages of the book, instead of flipping them like an actual book.]]> 2022-02-03 11:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2027281731 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2027594705
To create an animation about a futuristic city, I must look into these cities. The most futuristic city I've been to is London. In Birmingham, it's like I'm living in the same world and some thing barely change there. But when I'm in different places it's like I'm in a different universe. The city has over 400 skyscrapers. They look futuristic because of the size and structure. Most skyscrapers are buildings with a with a interesting shape, for example, the 30 St Mary Axe is a round building and the Shard is triangular building. You can travel to different places in London using the Underground Train. You don't always have to use buses and cars. And you can use Oyster cards instead of buying tickets.]]> 2022-02-03 14:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2027594705 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2032852018 This is an artwork I created when I was in college in photoshop. Our task was to creating a city with perspective drawings. It was a one point perspective drawing. This can not only be used for inspiration, but also as concept art to help me create my animation. You can see the clouds are razor sharp instead of being soft and fluffy, fire torches with blue flame and drones.]]> 2022-02-07 11:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2032852018 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2043939864 These are the creative people who influenced me to be a creative person: Matt Groening (The Simpsons, Futurama, Disenchantment), Max G (Brain Dump), Piemations (Suction Cup Man, Sheriff Todd Hayseed), Jorge Gutierrez (Book of Life), Seth Macfarlane (Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Ted, A Million Ways To Die In The West) Justin Roiland (Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites) Genndy Tartakovsky (Primal, Samurai Jack, Hotel Transylvania, Dexter's Laboratory) J.G. Quintel (Regular Show, Close Enough), Paul Ruddish (Mickey Mouse Shorts, The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse) and Tomm Moore (The Secret of Kells, Wolfwalkers, Puffin Rock). Most of the animated tv series is about the future. For example: Futurama is about a young man named Phillip Fry who remained frozen until the year 2999 and finds himself in a futuristic world. There are many people who have inspired me, whether they are animators, game designers, actors, voice actors, illustrators, etc., but these creators are my top 10 influences.]]> 2022-02-12 18:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2043939864 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2053029675 This video gave me an idea.

I've been keeping them since my previous creations, so they can be used for this animation and others in the future. After placing the voice in their correct character voice tab, I would place the mouths on the characters' faces, frame them in the timeline, and make them match the voice as possible as I can. When voice acting, I try not to speak too fast. otherwise the voices and mouths would go out of sync with each other. For example if the voice has a "A" or "E" or similar sound, I would use the mouth that is wide open. If it's an "O" sound, I would use the mouth that is shaped like an "O". For "M" sounds, I would use the mouth that is closed. For the "L" sound I would use the one that lifts the tongue up. And you would know the rest. ]]> 2022-05-11 19:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2180049740 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2180050972 I wanted to make a moving background where my character stays in place and it looks like he's walking down the street.

I framed from one side to the other, then I added a motion tween in the frames in the timeline so that background would move.]]> 2022-05-11 20:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2180050972 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2180124106 There are objects that I made for the animation, such as the drones, torches, futuristic cars and even the stand in this picture. Even though there are backgrounds in the animation I need to put objects in the to help it stand out more. For example: Wolfgang, the shop owner, has a stand and it must be in front of him. So on the stand's tab of the timeline, I place it on top of Wolfgang's tab. If the objects are on the opposite side on where they should be, it would ruin the animation.]]> 2022-05-11 21:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2180124106 Olngomari https://padlet.com/Olngomari/jrfetcofkdg80agz/wish/2182053797 Sometimes after a bit of animation, I convert the whole animation into a MP4, so I can test it out and see if I've made any mistakes. Such as missing objects, non moving frames, sound not matching the object or mouths, etc. And I go back to the animation and fix everything as much as I can. After finishing the animation and testing it, I converted it into a final MP4 project, so it could be viewed at the exhibition and be brought to the teachers to grade it. And it will soon be uploaded to my YouTube Channel.
