Review 3 - CGI Film Review

Image
The CGI short film that I have chosen to review is Portal No Escape which was produced by Cathleen Alexander, Stephen Hens, and Ashley Adams. The very first thing that got my attention when I watched this was the setting of the film and the character. There is a woman in what is a small room surrounded by walls with seemingly no door and no windows. It made me wonder why this woman is in this place and what happened prior to this event. The thing that made me the most interested in watching was how when the main character broke out of the room with a portal gun was the depth of the portal. The portals seemed to go on forever and appeared to be surrounded by a ring a fire and ice, two different materials, that added to the depth and how interesting they looked. The role of technology in this film is to make the viewer think that the portals are real so people believe that it is possible and will wonder where the person is going to end up. Then towards the endthe main character reaches w...

Original Audio Files

Bells Your browser does not support the audio element. This piece was the latest piece I had created in LMMS. I had been thinking about how I made so many covers and recreated so many other songs and hadn't done too much of my own stuff. That was why I decided that I need to create something else that was my own tune and ideas.

Review 2 - 3D Game Design Industry

Image
The 3D video game that I have decided to review is EA's FIFA. I have decided to review this because the game looked like it would be fun to play and the game is based off of something in real life. The effects in the game were interesting and they looked as real as it could be considering that the game is animated. Another reason that I chose this game was because I liked the fact that they had real players come into a studio and then they animated each of the players and made them into characters. It showed technique and skill to be able to replicate the professionals' faces with different emotions because of the situation.  Technology is allowing the creators of this game to capture motion of actual soccer players and see how they move in real life and then transfer that into the game. It allows the players and the directors to see how they are going to be moving in the game. That way the game flows more smoothly and the actions of the characters aren't robotic, which me...
