Roto Ball

For my Roto Ball video I have some ideas that I think are cool. One of the things is that I'm going to add some video game style. This will be difficult for many reasons. I'll have to create some original video game stuff because a lot of people have done the same. In my background I will have some destroyed peices of buildings. Another thing I'm going to add is some sport. I think I'll put a basketball net, but it would look very wierd. I would have to think of something that is both videogameish and sportish. Those are the things that I would use for my Roto Ball.

3 charts

This is a good representation because you can see on the sides the numbers and the colores of the lines. Then, the background below the lines are also very helpfull.

I like this chart because the line shows when and where I whent up and when I whent up. Also the colors are very helipful in identifing anything.

I chose this chart because everything is arranged by date. Everything is together from the first day to the last day I took the tests.

Medium selection

For my stop-motion project I will do it by pencil. I chose this because for my object, it would be easier. If I did it in plasticine, it would take years to complete it. Before, I thought in plasticine, but like I said it wouldn't work. Another thing I considered was doing it of LEGO. This was my idea for a long time but it would have looked very weird. In my opinion the hardest challenge will be to erase and to do it all over again. I think that sometime I will draw it very different form the first one. Thta's what I'm going to do for my medium.

Stop Motion

Stop-motion, is an art for me, because it takes time and patience to make one. f I had to describe what it meant, I would say that its a number of photos that are put together to for a sequence. It gives the viewer an awesome movie. It also is a little bit weird because everything looks like a robot. I think some people would create videos like this to entertain and to show their ideas. The steps to create a video like this is to first get your idea. Then, start taking photos of every small movement it does. Then, put them together to create a film. Stop-motion is a very interesting thing to do.

LEGO

William Kentridge

William Kentridge work, leaves me doubtful. I say this because I really don't know how he does it, even though it tells me. Another thing is that all the images make me feel weird. But, still I like the effects that he uses. If I had to describe his work to a blind I would do it like this. I would tell him that the technique is drwing and erasing a lot of times. Then, that everything is without color and the details are not perfect. Then, I would tell him how the images look and what they represent. That's how Williams work makes me feel and how I would describe it to a blind man.

The process taht he used is very complicated. He first thinks of the ideas and how he is going to do it. After he has the ideas he starts drawing scene, which he takes a picture of. Then, he erases it and takes another picture. So he goes on many times until he has kind of like a movie. During the process of erasing, he doesn´t erase everything, he only erases part of it and takes a picture. Sometimes he can combine the original scene with a new one. This is the process of how he mikes his stop-motion art works.

mash-up!!!!!

jay-z linking park Drum mash

Definition for Mash-up: A mash up is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another.

Mash-up is great thing to do, and it sounds awesome. In my opinion, for a good mash-up, you should choose the right songs. Also, have a steady beat that goes with those songs. Some ways you can make a mash-up go horrible, is by choosing songs that don´t have anything in common. Another thing is choosing the right lyrics to pull out form the song, and combine them. It should sound fluently and nice. I think that people that make up mash-ups are real musicians. One reason for that is that no everybody can do a mash-up. It takes time and you need to know a lot of music. Also, they are using an instrument, computers, and even in other, they take real instruments in, like the drums. Mash-ups are great, if you know how to do one.
