Autobiography
I have been interested in animation and technology ever since I was a child because I grew up watching cartoons, playing computer games, xbox, and Nintendo. I was always fascinated with how the characters were brought to life and I always imagined it to be an impossible, lengthy process. I assumed every frame must be drawn out because I had no knowledge of computer programs. Now that I have been in animation class for 3 years I know that not only is it not as intimidating a task that I though, Its very achievale.
The program that I like to use the most by far is flash. It is the program that I feel the most comfortable in and I feel like my best work gets done in there. I have really enjoyed rotoscoping and want to do more with it in the future. This year I have used rotoscoping to animate video clips of myself doing tricks on my skateboard. I feel like they have come out very good and i would like to take them further. I also want tp do more work in maya this year because I find that program very interesting. It is fancinating how easily we can create 3-D animations in this day and age. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to acomplish tasks maya makes basic 5 or 10 years ago.
In the future I plan to build on the skills I currently have even further and hopefully get a good computer for personal use with all the programs I know and love on it. I think that having these skills will be fun for working on personal projects and perhaps if I progress Ill be able to find some kind of work in graphic design or animation. I would like to take some computer classes in college and take my abilities to the next level. I am also interested in looking into computer programing in college and pursing a carrer in that. Now that I am a Senior all of this and more is right around the corner.
