When the pictures are clicked upon, they will expand to reveal my work. I'm still trying to figure out what the middle neutral state animation should be. Any ideas would be nice.

Summary Comp. Expanded Text

This shows how the summary will be expanded with the cash register drawer and ripped money seal still in view. Remember, the money seal is an easter egg.

Summary Comp

As they click to view my summary they will be taken down the arcade and into the back office where there are two plaques and an employee of the month board on the wall. The door to the arcade will be left open and the flashes of the video game machines will be seen occasionally. Sitting on the table next to the giant poster that contains my summary information will be the cash register drawer. The poster will be enlarged to fill the majority of the screen once the journey into the office has ended. The ripped money seal will be an easter egg which will open a thought bubble that mentions money missing from the drawer. It will be positioned in sight with the poster enlarged. Overall I think it's pretty good.

Movie Reflection

I think it's important to know that there was really no racial boundry when it came to music. I also think it's cool how the world has changed. For example, we've come from dances such as the twist to dances such as the soulja boy. Another change is in attire. In the 50's everyone wore suits but not to long ago, the bass player, Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers wore a skeleton suit while playing a show.

Issue 47

Mary Mulvany shared this speech at the October 12 SWCS Board of Education meeting.

Since the August levy failure, without a doubt, many businesses already are experiencing the downward spiral of what we have allowed to happen here. Here are just a few examples of the impact on local businesses – examples that will continue and multiply if we do not stand up for our community. Issue 47 is not just about the students or the schools.

Across four high schools, there are 600 band members. There are ten Saturday mornings each fall, where band uniforms are dry cleaned after Friday games. That alone equates to 6,000 less pieces of dry cleaning – 6,000 less sales transactions in ten weeks.

There are no fans gassing up and heading out of town each week for away cross country meets, golf meets, boys’ soccer games, girls’ soccer games, or football games. Fans in our community are not gathering to eat out before games or gathering with players, other fans and families after games. The visitors who followed other teams and stopped before or after games to grab a meal here, are now at other districts supporting their businesses. We currently have nine schools without athletes to purchase sports equipment, coaches who have no need to patronize the local awards stores, printing companies, or embroidery shops. There are no local grocery sales of food for the 15,000 people who gather across the district to watch sporting events each week and visit the concession stands.

Last year at just ONE high school alone, almost 900 dance tickets were sold for a single dance. Now there are 900 less kids making appointments at the hair salons, barber shops, limousine companies, photographers, restaurants…900 less flower orders at the local florist, and the list goes on and on.

In a recent Columbus Dispatch, six different houses were spotlighted in the Home Section. In the Jonathon Alder district, the featured home sold in 25 days. In the Hilliard district, the featured home sold in 26 days, in the Olentangy district – 28 days, and in Columbus Public – 89 days. The one in OUR school system, took 149 days to sell and at $26,000 lower than what it was originally listed for. That was the featured home! Four of the five featured homes outside of South-Western, sold for an average of just 3.25 % below their asking price..The one in our district sold for 11 percent less. That is almost four times the loss here on a home in our district. There are people who will incessantly argue that our declining house values and the time houses sit have NOTHING to do with our levy failures, just the recession and the economy in general. I guess maybe the recession just hasn’t arrived yet in those neighboring school districts?

The “no” votes change nothing. Not the state legislator’s minds. Not the state’s broken funding system. Nothing. If you vote no, the change you get, is the 63 cents a day in loose change that your no vote allowed you to keep – and at what a huge cost to you later on down the road.

You cannot build a better community, a better child, a better future, a better country by under-funding its schools. It is time to bring back the pride and stand up for what we hold most dear – our children, our community, and our future.

Bowling sound for you

http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/1894536-bowling-strike-1-sound-effect-wav

For the 4 hour project...

I would like to research and hopefully attempt to do some work with foley sounds. I think it will be helpful in improving my 3-d skills as I can have sounds made by characters or objects to make the scene appear real. I know that animated movies use this frequently and creatively and watching that process in the past was awesome. I would like to recreate that myself in my own work as a good portfolio piece.

Audio questions minus the illustrations

1. What range of frequencies are detectable to the human ear? Approximately 20Hz to 20 kHz
2. Define audio. "Of sound" or "of the reproduction of sound".
3. Audio production involves what four elements of audio? Production, recording, manipulation and reproduction
4. List 10 careers in audio and list a local company for six of the career fields. Studio Sound Engineer, Wolfe Trax Recording, Live Sound Engineer, Musician, Field Sound Engineer, Audio Editor, Post-Production Audio Creator, Music Producer, DJ, Radio technician, Film/Television, Sound Recorder
5. List three careers that need to have an understanding of audio production concepts. Music Producer, Audio Editor, and Sound Engineer
7. What is a waveform? Resulting waves in a mathematical drawing of sound waves
8. Is sound two dimensional or three dimensional? 3D
9. How do variations in sound pressure correlate to a waveform diagram? In high pressure the molecules pack together and in low pressure they spread apart.
12. Define transducer. A device which coverts energy from one form into another.
13. Define amplifier. A device which increases the amplitude of an electrical signal.
14. Define signal processor. The analysis, interpretation, and manipulation of signals .

Here is where I am having some issues. It is only supposed to be selecting the area around where the sleeve is going to be formed. However as you can see, it is selecting all the way to the belt area. I have moved many things on my vertex level around and have gotten no results that are satisfying. So now I am moving onto my audio questions.

Today I worked on making the boots and pants... Overall the tutorial was easy to follow and I should finish the character pretty early tomorrow so everything should be good. My chess set is posted below.

Pretty Beast

Fun Fact: Micheal Jordan was cut from the freshman basketball team of his high school.

1. The following people might be good resources for me (Explain why they are good resources):
Honestly the only resources I have are Mr. Fitzer and Mr. Dimasso. I know of no one else in this field or with any knowledge in this field.
2. Some possible resources for research are:
Some possible resources are the internet and books I can check out at a local library.
3. How will family, community, or industry benefit from this project?
They will become more knowledgable in this field as they can learn from me.
4. What skills or understanding do you expect to develop and demonstrate in this project?
I hope to become proficient in the world of 3-d modeling and animation.

What I Want To Do

What I Want To Do

I would be interested in doing a low poly character in 3d Studio Max. This is going to help me in the future as I continue to find interest in animating a mixed martial art fights in the octagon I created in 3d. This is completely new to me as I have only built objects in 3d and never any sort of person. I hope to increase my knowledge in 3d and become skilled in character animation so I can later animate short scenes for fun and improve to semi long animation effects. For example I would like to go from a knockout punch to a full one to three round brawl. I have also been interested in animating a football play. I think it would be really cool and be a nice addition as a portfolio piece to show 3d creation such as my octagon, and additionally have characters involved in 3d motion. I was told it was about 100 page tutorial to complete this project, but it does not scare me as I look forward to this challenge. I’m hoping to better understand movement in 3d as I have worked a little with it before and it was extremely difficult.

I added a pretty basic bench to the side of the court and I think I have completed the final parts of my main page. If you have any ideas on anything else to add I am open to suggestions.

I had to kind of rush through to make this for my mom cause its her birthday but I think you can at least tell it's a cake

I added the American Flag

I added the American flag and a banner that says 2008 State Basketball Champs. The banner goes along with the trophy on the top shelf of the trophy case. I spent a good amount of time on the falg and overall I believe it turned out quite well and it was needed because the people in the gym have to be able to stand for the national anthem. I think it looks great in the scene.

Bio is done... 26

I am completely finished with the design process of my bio page. I added posters to Harley and Erik's lockers. Erik got Tony Hawk and Harley naturally got Metallica. I also added a chalk board with the key to victory for that day's game and their defensive strategy. (Box and 1 unless #29 is out then switch to a 2-3 shifting zone) I took the other banner and moved it to above the lockers. I removed the dodgeball banner which was funny but not necessary and I added the rug to give a little more effect for the floor.

Shaqtastic 39 points

We spent the majority of the class period trying to figure out how to make a poster to put in my locker. I recieved halp form Sam and Aron and finally got a Shaqtastic poster put up. I also put up an Attitude reflects leadership banner on the wall to fit the locker room scene.

I added the second banner right when the bell was ringing and Spencer said it had to say if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball. He said a locker room is not complete without it.

This goes with the post below

I went with the nickname and number on the bag like players might do some of the time.

I added a duffle bag to my locker which took me all rotation to make it look close enough to resemble a duffle bag. I think it looks decent and when I asked someone else what they thought it was they said a bag and that was before I had the handle so thats a good sign that it looks decent. I might add some text to the bag like my name or something like you see on some bags.

I made the jerseys longer like you told me to and made the door handle look a little better.

I added carpet and walls to the bio room for rendering purposes. (The colors could change) I need some ideas for what to add to my locker to add to my bio clickables. I'm also wondering if I should add anything to the court. Any input would help I'm open for discussion.

The Octagon

I made this cage just out of pure random boredom. I think it looks pretty beast

Trophy Case Plaques (New Case Pictures Below) ................26

Added a 26 to the crest. I personally think it looks pretty beast with that font. This goes with the two posts below.

Another angle to see the crest that goes along with the post from below.

I added 4 plaques since the last time I posted and I also added a cube to the top of my 3-D trophy. The red wall in the background is for rendering purposes and it is the same for the green floor. I also began to work on a crest type thing for the bottom of the trophy case and I think it is coming along quite nicely. Still debating on whether or not to add any random tropys for effect on an upper shelf that could be panned by on the way to the portfolio trophys. Any input or ideas are welcome as long as I can do whatever the idea is.

This is for Spencer

Spence wanted to see a teapot for my 3-D trophy so I put one there for him.

As you can see I am currently working on the development of the icons at the top of each trophy. For my flash trophy I attempted to create a sort of flash type symbol which I do believe doesn't look half bad. I'm still pondering what to place atop my 3-D work trophy. However I did create a simple camera to place on my photoshop trophy. The third picture is the outside view of the case so far. I'm open to suggestions for my 3-D trophy icon so if you have any don't hesitate to share.

Screen Cap Descriptions

1.Both my trophy's I completed today. Flash and 3-D

2.My flash trophy is completed but will probably be modified to make the F look better

3.My flash trophy is almost done I just have to create the F to put on top

4.I made the bottom on the trophy with the name plate to let the viewer know what trophy it is

5.My trophy case completed without the trophys inside

My portfolio has been coming along quite nicely. If you couldn't already tell I am making a lot of it in 3-d and have completed my main page aside from the animation of the shooter which I am still unsure how to do. I have also completed the majority of my bio page which is the locker room scene. I still want to put a few more things in my locker but am not quite sure how to do so. Today I began working on my page to show off my work which is going to be a trophy case. I set up the walls and glass and began working on the trophys. I really enjoy my my court, lockers, and I can already tell I'm going to like my trophy case. I need to improve my preloader because it is pretty basic but I'm not exactly motivated to do so because as a lot of people know I'm not exactly flash's number one fan. I have relearned how to use text in 3-d and I learned I'm capable of making things I never would have thought I could do. This ties me back to my original project because I am right on par with my ideas for my pages and now all I'm doing is making them come to life.

I scaled the guitar up and also scaled the lockers up so the guitar would fit. Still need to figure out how to make a jersey for my locker and shoes for the bottom part, and from thinking about it I believe it will be ridiculously difficult.

My preloader is kinda basic but that's due to the fact that flash and I don't get along so I'd like to spend the least amount of time with it as possible. As you can see though it is a layer mask to reveal that image but it is not finished yet cause the coding part is still confusing.
