I was a part of making the assets for the movie,posters, and the movie title logo. I was really excited to make the posters because then Mr.Love prints them out and everybody looks at them and I feel proud to be a part of that process. That also goes for the logo. I’m glad that my teammates also put their input into making the logo so we all liked it and it went with the movie elements. Staying after school too was really fun. I even got to go on after effects for a little one Saturday when my teammates were asking me to change the colors to the assets on illustrator and when i’d change it on illustrator it would change on after effects. I know that's really basic but I thought it was cool and a fun experience.

Throughout this project, I was mostly in charge of creating the various props and some backgrounds for the animation. Though it got tiring creating multiple angles of different props, I enjoyed my role as it allowed others to rely on my help in the project. Afterwards, I had created several wallpapers to promote our film including one for desktop and for phones. The wallpapers were inspired by the various poster designs including the watch in the animation.

Overall I think that this project was an amazing learning experience that I will carry down for future doings. I was in charged for the production logo animation, as well as the audio used in our movie.I chose audio that would best represent the actions that would be shone in the movie. I intentionally layered audio clips, and overlapped them with others to create an environment that the audience will become submerged in. I decided to do left and right audio from time to time to accomodate the environment in which our characters happened to be in. All in all, I wanted the viewers to be in the position that our characters are.

Originally, when we started this project, I wanted the final product to have a overall overcast, cloudy feel. This was achieved through multiple uses of lights and gradients within the compositions and animations themselves.
No 3D software was used to make this video. Everything was done in After Effects using the 3D space to create very basic 3D rigs for some of the background materials. After these sets were made, we then could put in our already made character animations.
We had a timeline of about a little over a month, and although the due date was stressful, I think we all enjoyed the process of making our own animation and are happy with the result.

I had no idea how to animate when this started. It was nice to learn something new and challenge myself. My whole understand of the way the programs could be used was flipped upside down. I really enjoyed working with all the wonderful people in my group. Emily helped me learn how to make 3D sets in after effects, and she trusted me to make some of the sets used in the movie. I put my blood, sweat, and tears into this movie. I gave it all I had and I was very proud of what we were able to make. I also made the documentary. I had help from my other group members on it because of the deadline. I could not be happier getting to know all these great people.
