Week 4 Report:

Jaden McGrath        9/28/18

This week in my animation class at BOCES/Sanborn, we dabbled into the physics of animation along with getting objects to actually move. Whether it be a swinging pendulum or a bouncing ball. I was however frustrated by the way the computer would sometimes mess up or be a complete pain in the butt. However, I did love working on both bouncing ball projects. They were actually kind of fun. if we continue working with movement, I would really love to learn how to make a character move.

I honestly don't really know how to feel about SONY's decision to make the upcoming Venom solo film that is set for release next Friday PG-13. I mean on the one hand, giving it a PG-13 rating could help the film be more successful since now kids and teens can see the movie which makes it more money and could potentially lead to a Venom movie trilogy where he'll eventually face Carnage. But on the other hand, stripping the film of it's R rating is also a slap in the face to fans of Venom. If anyone knows Venom, he isn't exactly a PG-13 kind of character. He's violent and also a cannibal, meaning that he eats humans. An R rated Venom could have shown off Venom in his full glory as the scary, gory, and monstrous anti-hero character that he is in the comics. Maybe it wouldn't make as much money, but it would be a true Venom movie for Venom fans. What i think this comes down to is that they are making it PG-13 that way if the film is successful, then they can put it in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). I guess we'll have to see if the film can still work without a R rating when Venom releases in theaters next Friday, October 5th.

    These computers can really get annoying at times, you just gotta be paticent with them and it still sucks that venom is pg-13 but since its pg-13 it can be put into the mcu and have a sequel with carnage be rated r.

    @mr stark i dont feel real good, I completely agree with both sides of the argument. I can't make an official decision on what side of the argument I'm on until I've seen the film with my own eyes myself.

LAIKA

Jaden McGrath      5/3/19 Ever since their debut in 2009 with Coraline, Laika Studios has put out some of the best animated films in the last decade. From Coraline to ParaNorman to the Boxtrolls to Kubo and the Two Strings to even their most recent release, Missing Link, Laika has truly been a winning streak with the quality of their films. They have definitely become one of the most beautiful and inventive animation studios in recent history with their excellent use of stop motion animation in all their films. But not only are they the most beautiful, Laika is also one of the most hardworking animation studios around since mostly everything in their films had to actually be made by hand. From the characters themselves, the sets, the props, the ground, the water, the trees, and mostly everything had to be physically built and moved frame by frame to make an actual film out of it, which is Laika's specialty like another stop motion studio, Aardman. To make a character ...

Final Project: Analysis and Reflection

Jaden McGrath         5/13/19 For this final project in our animation class here at Sanborn BOCES, we were assigned a project where a character discovers something unusual and unknown to them and interacts with that same unusual thing whether it be an object, a place, or even another creature. What I decided to do for my animation is to make a scene where a man finds a mysterious stone on the ground during a jog through the park while at the same time, he doesn't realize the sinister situation that is about to take place. This idea was formed into my head after watching two specific movies. The first film I used for inspiration was Marvel Studios's "Avengers: Infinity War", which inspired the idea of the mysterious stone based off of the infinity stones from the film. The second film that i got inspiration from was Jordan Peele's, "Us", which inspired the sinister situation that takes place after the man picks up the stone. (No Spoilers). I chose to d...

Final Project: References

Jaden McGrath      5/13/19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjkb8YxE9PM&t=155s I used this video in order to improve a specific part of my animation where the main character has to turn around so that his whole body is facing the stone in front of him at his feet. That way the man doesn't look like he is just sliding while turning. In order to make the character turn without looking like he's sliding on ice is to bring the one leg up and put it down before moving the other leg until his body faces from the side to facing in the direction of the stone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRETjE5smyo I used this video to help me in making the characters in my animation grab other objects that I modeled. This can range from them picking up a stone or even lifting another individual's legs. To make a character lift something and hold in in his hand is to use the controls for both the wrist and fingers along with the control for the arm in order to move the arm down to ...
