Project 4 Progress

Here is what I have so far for project 4. I'm not working on it in a linear fashion, instead I am going back and forth between many parts. I want to add transitions to images and more effects to the b-roll at the end.  My plan is for it to mirror the effects of the intro.

Project 4 Storyboard and Tutorial

I decided to make my PSA about waste and the ways I am trying to reduce waste (especially plastic waste) in my life. I will start with edited b-roll of the ocean, go into anecdotes about how I'm currently switching to reusable bags and menstruation products, then examples of how art students may be able to use recycled materials, ending with a call to action and waterfall b-roll.

I want my video to have a mixed media/ collage-like effect so I chose this tutorial to follow:

Here is the result!

Project 3 Final

 Here's my final for the info graphic project!

Project 3 progress

Here's my progress on project 3. I need to add more movement to the character. My plan is also to include a little more text and a coral graphic for when explaining the bleaching and shoreline protection.

Project 3 draft

My concept for project 3 is a backwards mermaid that briefly informs viewers on coral reefs and what their protection efforts look like today. 

I struggled with rigging my first puppet (bottom photo.) I could not get the parts to fix or drag properly, even after tagging everything. If anyone has any tips on that let me know. Rigging this fish guy will be my goal for this weekend.
