Video Portrait and reflection

For my video portrait I attempted to show you my personality for 1 minute long. My video consists of me when I have some free time on my hands and what I do during that free time. I like to play lots of video games and I think that drawing Is also fun. When I am playing Minecraft on the computer I was trying to create the image of what I do when I'm supposed to be working or when I'm free.

When I die by the wrath of the creeper on the video game I want to show you my stupid reaction that I get when I die on almost any video game and the stupidity of my mistake for not fightng back or fleeing such creatures. After I show you myself rage quitting from the game "A.K.A" turning off the video game in anger I leave the room to go and draw. When you see me taking my time trying to draw something nice and then have the drawing turn into something violent and cartoony I try to show you how I take my time and effort to draw some of the most simplest things and I try to show you my feelings that I put into my drawings by showing you the speed and force that I apply to the drawings.

When I am shooting lighting out of my mouth I am trying to show you how I like to act silly sometimes with  my imagination and how much fun I am having while doing it. It also shows that I don't always care what people think about me and that I am always in a crazy mood on the inside and outside sometimes.

When I finish the video off with myself saying it's all ogre that is a reference to a fictional character named Shrek and a video on youtube that is popular but disturbing and I do not recommend watching if   you get easily scared and you don't want nightmares tonight.

My video portrait is a reflection of my personality an, shoot lighting out of my mouth and I like to think about Shrek.

My Trip to OCAD

OCAD is a school for exploring different types, elements, forms and styles of art.  When I went on a small field trip with my class to OCAD we all separated to seek all of our interests inside the giant school. Most of us didn’t separate and stayed with our partners I was one of them. Seeing all the art was quite amazing because of all the effort was put into each piece on display. I saw art that would turn from a painting to a video such as a painting with a girl on it crying and then the girl would literally walk out of the painting and into another. (Of course from a projector) I saw awesome sculptures of bears, lobsters and other stuff.

Some art was just plain weird and some was different from the other and some was just plain original. There were so many floors (stairs) that we saw but we didn’t have enough time to explore it all.

When it was time for lunch we left the building and ate some food in a cafeteria. All the tables were taken so we had to eat on the stairs. After that we all had to separate and stay with our partners to take photos of downtown. My partner and me went really far in the city and got a lot of unique photos together. My partner kind of hogged the camera most of the time and managed to get a lot more pictures than me but I was able to get enough for the trip. When the trip was over half of the class split up because school was pretty much over. I followed my class all the way back to the school then split up with them when I got there. OCAD was a very fun experience for me and I wouldn’t mind doing more field trips like this one again.     

Kinetic Typography

In my kinetic typography I tried to make it as good as I could but with my experience with Adobe Flash I wasn’t able to succeed in making the best typography.

I tried to follow the basics of animation and I have only managed to accomplish a few of them. I have had a lot of trouble editing the audio even though it might seem quite easy to some people.

My typography is not really good compared to the rest of the class and I believe that it might also be a little shorter than the rest of the class but I have tried. The sound was a huge pain for me especially when you have barley any skills at using adobe. I did such a horrible job with sound cropping that the finished video is very quite I also have an incredible amount of unnecessary frames in my video I am very disappointed with my kinetic typography.
