Avengers Negative Review

 Even though I personally really enjoyed the movie, and it was overall very well made with very high reviews and ridiculous box office revenues, there were quite a bit of things that weren't done very well in the movie.
  First of all, the movie was very bland and unoriginal. Because all of the people in the movie were present in their own movies with their own storylines, and this movies storyline being a very loosely bound collection of action sequences, the storyline wasn't really as good or interesting as it could be.
 The next thing was that the individuality of the characters didn't do the film much good. The characters kept on interrupting each other, making it hard to understand their individual thoughts, and although its true that with their individuality, they wouldn't get along at first, like Iron Man with Captain America and Thor, it was really annoying that they only started working together in the last 30 minutes of the movie.

Helvetica

 Yo dawg, I heard you like helvetica, so I put it everywhere.
     all graphic designers
 My opinion on Helvetica is that it is pretty good, but I don't think I will be using it due to the fact that it's very overused. Ever since it was invented it 1960, it was used absolutely everywhere, and I feel that now that modern graphic designers have a far wider choice of typefaces, they should gradually stop using Helvetica and leave it for government and information signs for its clarity, and start using more creative and expressive typefaces for their advertisements and other public projects.

Animation Review

The animation that I'm reviewing is "The Adventures of Tintin", directed by Steven Spielberg. The storyline was extremely interesting and captivating, and was as equally impressive as the animation techniques. The motion capture technique made a very realistic looking effect, while still retaining the looks and personality from the original comic book. The action scenes were very well made, with a great amount of attention paid to minuscule details to make the scene more believable and complete.
The character design was extremely well made. All major characters had very good personality development, as well as very detailed character models. The way that they interacted with the plot and storyline was both interesting and even slightly believable(except for the aircraft in the storm scene). The part I enjoyed the most about the character design was the way that they focused around the main character. Tintin himself was not particularly exciting, but everyone around him was quite interesting, especially Captain Haddock, the 2 twin detectives, and his dog, Snowy.
The soundtrack of this movie is also extremely impressive. It was composed by John Williams, and the songs themselves are very well made, and match the film very well. The exciting scenes of his flashback swashbuckling were well accompanied by an equally exciting soundtrack.
The actual story line of the movie was all very well made. There was lots of suspense, a great mystery, good adventure, and a very well timed dénoument. The character development was interesting, and the introduction of different characters was very well timed to make the story more interesting.
In summary, this movie was very well made in pretty much single way. The plot, setting, character development, and technical creation all make this one of the most interesting animated movies I've seen in the past year.

Paper Animal Template

Principle Of Animation #12-Personality

This principle of animation is mostly made up of the correct application of the other principles in order to create a believable and strong personality for an animated character. A large part of this principle is the actions that the character performs under different conditions in order for people to figure out his reactions and personality so that the animation is more interesting to watch

Principle Of Animation #11-Appeal

Appeal is the principle of design that relate to things that people want to see, or appeal. This includes everything, including using the other principles of animation and sound to make a character interesting.

Principle Of Animation #9- Straight Ahead Action

This and pose-pose action are methods of actually animating the video. The first is when each frame is drawn individually, and the latter is when the major keyframes are drawn and the rest are generated by computers.

Principle Of Animation #8-Follow through

Follow through is the opposite of anticipation. Unlike the action before the action, the follow through is the action that happens after the main event, for example the persons arm continuing to rotate through after throwing the baseball.

Principle Of Animation #7-Secondary Action

A secondary action is an action that creates realism and interest in animation. It has to be used to compliment the action, as to not draw away attention from the main scene, like people walking in the background. It has to be used to make the seem scene more natural and interesting.

Principle Of Animation #6-Squash and stretch

Squash and stretch is a way of deforming an oject to accent its rigitity and the motion that it shows, for example, having a rubber ball compress as it hits the ground and stretch as it leaves.

Principle Of Animation #5-Exaggeration

The principle exaggeration is used to accent an action to make sure that the viewer understands the purpose of the action and so that it draw more attention to it.

Principle Of Animation #4-Anticipation

Anticipation is a principle of design that is the part of action that occurs before the execution of the action, that leads you to know that its coming, for example, moving your hand back before you're about to throw a baseball.


Principle Of Animation #3-Arcs

This principle of animation tells us the fact that in the real world, everything travels in arcs, rather than simple, linear paths.



Principle Of Animation #2-Ease in and out

This principle of animation focuses on having objects increase and decrease their velocity from a stand-still in order to show various effects, such as gravity. Thats what I did for my example, making it slow down as it reaches the top and speeds up again as it falls.

Principle Of Animation #1-Timing

This principle of animation focuses on the speed of the animation to achieve different effects from very similar movement; the speed at which the object moves gives you a much wider range of information then anticipated, for example the weight of the object, the shape, the medium it is in, or the action it is signifying. In my example, I make a ball slow down as it hits water to signify its higher density.
