Week of September 14th-18th

My first entry this week is my sketch. It's basically a tiger but from a high perspective. I was trying to play with texture in the sketch with the tigers fur. Texture is a very important element to try and make an image realistic. I'm trying to become more detail-oriented in my sketches.




My next entry is a video off of youtube about a new game for the nintendo ds called "Scribblenauts." The reason this game is so inspiring to me is the premise: "Make Anything, Solve Everything." Basically, you can type almost any word into to game, and it'll appear and help you solve puzzles. In the video, it shows three ways to solve a puzzle envolving knocking down bottles. I love this game because it let's you be as creative as you want to be. It's amazing for a video game to be so open to let the player summon almost anything they want. It really lets your imagination go wild, and it's amazing that a video game on such a small console has such a large premise.




My last entry for this week is kind of a cheesy one, but it shows what kind of things can be done with movies now a days. I work in a movie theatre, so this weeked I watched a small part of the new kids movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." The movie itself was cute, but what inspired me was how they could show all of the food so amazingly. My ultimate dream in my career is to be an animator, and this movie showcases what an average animated movie can do. It's not a Pixar movie, but it shows that even though it was not made by Pixar, it can still be very creative and look good. Someday I hope to help make movies like this, but in the meantime it's fun to watch a movie like this.


I got this movie poster from impawards.com
