Assesment #1 Post

This assessment was the first of its kind that I had ever done and with little to none prior knowledge of sites like flicker, blogger and del.ici.ous believe that I done well without too much trouble. Out of the three sites I found that flicker was the easiest for me as the interface is less confusing for me and being able to post images makes more sense to me than writing like in a blog. So it would only be fitting that I start with flicker in my analysis.

Flicker was my favorite to use as it was least confusing to me and I was able to view other people’s images and find out some of their likes and get to know them better. This is shown through my favorite images that I found while searching through flicker as I found some demotivational posters on someone else’s photo stream. This gave me the inspiration to add my own posters of that kind so my images are demotivational poster; these were used to give people a good laugh when going through flicker.

After flicker in my favorites is blogger, though I do not necessarily like using blogger this is due to inexperience with the program, with further use I believe that more appreciation will be achieved. Using the design templates I was able to change the layout and formatting of my blog to portray my personality better. I explored blogger, finding my other classmates blogs and commented on their layouts and designs. Blogger is a good program for posting information but I would still use flicker for images.

finally is del.ici.ous, this site uses bookmarks to find websites and is useful for trying to locate certain websites that have what you are looking for, I used this technique to find a site that creates demotivational posters and others that host information about anime shows that I watch. This site is useful but is also very confusing for me.

This assessment has greatly increased my knowledge of hosting sites and I can only learn more through experience.

Walkcycle, 2 days left

So as the title says, us first year animators have only 2 days to complete our walk cycles before they are torn to pieces by our lecturer and most probably the other animators. the best question is how far am i into finishing, i've got the arms of my 14 to 25 frames and the cleanup and audio to complete.

Disclamer: i do not own any of the pictures or anything included within the the site dark wallpapers

Delicious Post

created a delicious account, strange name for a posting site but can't complain, it could be worse. it is mostly used for bookmarking, so it will be easier to not loose track of any email accounts.

Flickr Post

so after stuffing this up again, ive decided to repost this. we set up flickr accounts today, it was interesting but setting up heaps of accounts is becoming troublesome. ideas for more uploads are putting up demos and other images i find.

Walkcycle post 1

so the task for our new year and animation is a walk cycle. these are very deceptive as they appear to be easy but ask any animator and they will all tell you the same thing, get it done early. many first years took this to heart and now with a week left they are madly rushing to complete their cycles, including me.
my work is here for the curious peeps.
