Background: This is a short 3D animation with a green screen element in it. My challenge was integrating both elements together in an animation.

Actions: My actions were first importing the video I took into resolve and keying out the green from the element, Then I created a back ground using connected scan lines. I exported it then in a new timeline added more glitch elements to the video. Then I exported the video once more and put it into blender. I modeled a fast 3D TV and put the video inside it. I added a few emission textures and then I created a glowing background. I then parented the TV and video to a point light and used that to move the TV around the scene. This allowed light to be casted in a semi realistic manner on the ground. I then rendered the animation in Eevee so I wouldn’t have to wait 12.3 years for the scene to render. After that the final step was to import the video back into resolve and add grain and do audio mixing.

My inspiration for this project was the 80s. I wanted to recreate the same old time vibe that the 80s give off, a mix of nostalgia and outdated tech, A lot of grain and glow to get that feeling. With this I added a bit of 90s inspiration with an old computer feel. Glitchy lines go all over the screen and the sounds are all from dial up PCs. There is also a bit of analog damage all over the footage to make it seem much more like it came from a TV.

Results: The results of creating this were not notable, it was a personal project. I took me around 2 1/2 hours in total to complete the project.

Board game review:
The game I played was betrayal at house on the hill, In the game you work with the other players in a cooperative manner to escape from a hunted house you are trapped in, The twist being halfway through the game, one or more players become traitors in one of fifty different scenarios. I personally enjoyed the game for almost all of it, the only cons that I would say it has is the initial learning curve, but after the first game it becomes increasingly fun due to multiple scenarios.

Blog Assignment #1

I used runway AI to make the images for this project. For the first prompt of Stone-age Home Entertainment, I said a caveman watching TV. I then expanded this by getting trees around them, then I asked for even more trees around them.

The software runway pros are that it is free and it makes images fairly fast. Its cons are that It does not have a ton of detail.
