Questions/Research

My skills that i will be working on will be planning how im going to animate my animation. Such as gathering images for my work project. Studying how to use more advanced tools would be a big advantage on how realistic the anime is going to present itself.

I might be using image format file extension that relate to a picture file eg: MPEG, JPEG.

I will be required to learn advanced techniques such as making a animation when a character is talking and fps movements. Allowing the animation
to have a wide range of realistic features added to it.
I will be also be learning how to make my environment such as objects that go with the concept and the animation as well.

To present a looped animation this picture shows a looped GIF file that has been made using pivot then converted to a picture that loops.

I plan to make a picture movement relating to Eadweard Muybridge by movement by frame by frame. i want mine to have a park-our theme to it when he sprints and jumps from object to object etc.
I would need to learn how to loop pictures in a cycle.

making my animation loop into a free character movement one is really my goal and making it as realistic as possible/

Am i going to be adding more than one character into my animation
Depending on the situation of how i want my anime to look like such as the concept on what the genre may be such as it being mainly how the movement goes OR a fighting type animation which requires more than 1 character.

Censorship
Although i have noticed that i will need to make my animation for all audiences viewing. Such as violence and bad concepts is out of the question. I will need a safe content presentation for my audience to be able to be viewed by family.

About these videos

Drunken Stick
I would also leave this as one of my options as well for a combat less violent animation. Also it presents a fast pace realistic movement. Although any of its excessive humor or language will not be presented in my animation itself.

Yoyo vs Jom
i would also like to create something like this. I can present my animation in a complete safe way and present characters into it. I can modify it to add a concept to a friendly based animation which makes it safe for all audience in particular for viewing.

The Dojo Collab
I mainly would like to focus on movement like this video which is mainly about the design and the characters movement with sound effects. they all come together to build a Dojo.
I would like to relate to this video to produce something similar as one of my options of my animation.
The video is about a more expressing animation to present how artistic the animator is. It creates a fun cheerful feeling to who views it, like a motivation or inspiration towards his project. The colors had more creativity on the animation.
The concept i am making my animation look at the moment is to design a project movement on how my characters come together to build something such as a Dojo as they all come in separately and build each building piece at a time.


 A couple of images that present smooth movement are presented below
The animator who originally made this has made a icon character that presents that animator himself. Such as the character called Yoyo. There are many animators who make a character that represent them self's such as famous ones like FLLFFL or XiaoXiao

The looped stick man running image shows a default stick man's characters movement. The GIF image was just to show a basic run cycle as an example. The characters a default stick man so no actual concept of him would be necessary


The GIF i have chosen relates to my movement project on how i will be structuring and studying other movement pictures. The stick figure loop cycle presents a basic realistic movement through drawn art. it is a small layout but a basic cycle on how a model uses his environment to enhance his work is movement.
the color is sketched based art that has done a frame by frame known as a picture by another drawn after picture.

This is also an advanced example than the plain stick man running in a loop. Other than him moving in one pose he is more proactive than the previous character stick man.


A basic character that is used in animations. he is a combat type character that is seen in animation on YouTube such as Hyun. His weapon explains his unique weapon usage.
This character also represents a the animator it self such as Hyun. his appearance displays his goofy fighting style and his skills with a hard to use as a
weapon which is a YOYO. His name is also Yoyo

Yoyo is the type of skilled funny character that is showed on the animations of Hyun. his basic look of a stick man is different compared to what he can do. his blue appearance make up for his weapon making it seemed that blue is his favorite color. His weapon appearance underestimates his skill. other characters that he may come across may think less likely of him for what yo yo uses as a weapon. Yoyo though is much more skillful than how he looks.

This image shows how artistic that a animation can be made while making a animation with my movement concept. This image presents a aura around this normal stick man character to present his power and how powerful this character can be.

Although the symbols that outline the aura show that it also has humor in it.

The characteristics just by looking at this character imply that he is a strong lone type of character that holds large amount of power and is a one man army based type of person.

I inserted this image mainly to show the art of the animation and how i can use this concept to add really effective effects to my own when it comes to developing my creative one based on the Dojo Collab




As a another example on how my effects will work is when this image is taken just when this character starts to stop time which is part of his powers that he holds. The image then shows a negative effect to show that time has stopped. This character is a one man army type that can basically take on any one that trys to face him. The typical powerful type character he shows the image of a warrior assassin type character. Even though he does int present full detail on the character itself he shows his characteristics in action (movement and what he does).

His sword displays all his power source and his best weapon that he holds.






Itachi Uchiha

Itachi appears as a Anti hero in the series Naruto. He takes the position as being Sasuke's brother.

Itachi has the appearance of a skillful ninja assassin. his discreet look shows his shady incognito side a side that no one but him self knows about. his clothing is the akatsuki uniform. He is a anti hero as in his actions all have a purpose to including his bad and good. He creates actions which show a confusion on what side he is on.

His facial expression makes him a serious mature character that takes alot in life seriously.

Itachi appears as a quite intelligent character that has a assassin concept in him

His color makes him plain and a depressed looked character that match with his stress lines. It shows how hard this character has worked to get where he is.



Yugi

Yugi is a good herated character that first presents him self

Workflow and file managment

Workflow and file management 


My Assets 

Camera Angles

I have used different camera angles to justify and manage different views and perspectives of my 3D model to manage my angles in different camera views on each side Eg: front ortho and perspective (persp)
to enhance and manage my model the bone feature was managed with the view tool bar that view s each models part and textures.



Armature
I have used the the armature tool to present bones towards my character model. this has helped me show my ones that has been placed into it. This helps me work more on the bones and keep them in line. its the only way bones are displayed anyway. This supported the animation of my character.

Automated Law Enforcement

Do we accept robots and security personal as moving electronics that are controlled remotely

Perception and views on the issue

  • My view on the issue is that having programmed police authorities will have a big impact on the society and governments community such as technology ruling over human life forms. think of a computer or phone telling you what to do but it being the law and rules. then electronic discipline will be intact.
  • My view on the issue is that Robots produce more accurate and high quality work. And they can work at a constant speed without taking breaks.
  • My view on the issue is that the robots would be more effective than human law enforcement because they wouldn't need to be paid or take days off and the robots couldn't be bribed into letting criminals go and they would be biased and fair and they could be kept stupid enough to be controlled by humans.

Summary On The Trouble Of Robots Functions

One of the most important fact about law enforcement is that robots in particular have trouble through police policies more than a normal officer would such as the solution can critical through hostage situations such as the droid does not function like a human and will not proceed with the problem  carefully and lead to a disaster such as when a robot trys to calm a situation by  negotiating with a person he may not connect with the human to stand down and surrender.

And yes a robot does not simply function as well as a human a robot cannot over power a pure humans mind and overcome challenges that only a human can through law enforcement eg: Follow orders well and waste resources more quickly (FUEL and WEAPONRY) but a law enforced robot can have particular ways to help more in a more user friendly way.

Robots may not be able to sum up conflict well with other human beings to keep order.
Programmed robots will be extremely difficult depending on the robots functions and what its particular meant to do.
The robot may malfunction through difficulties it may be simular to a officer with medication problems but officers do not do drugs which means  robots have extreme problems when broken or in minor damage conditions Eg: they may age through function and brake momentarily and whats more is that they may fail to function in a minor situation when holding people up and arresting them or watching guard and lets face it robots who keep guard are at a major risk.

People are able to disable them (experts at hacking or programming) or convert them to aid in criminal activity which government technology is used against them. Unlike humans who continues their duties at a pace suitable throughout the task given. Robot security's may side track and be off their guard.

Why Robots can be a asset towards law enforcement

So we all know robots sounds cool as it sounds and yes we don't have to pay them for their time all past police officers don't have to work overtime or spend hours working day and night 24/7 at the station or streets driving around.

Robots are more motivative towards their job and do not hate it eg: when a robot is on a long shift they do not get bored half way through it. A police officer sometimes requires regular breaks like lunch and rest breaks unlike a robot the only breaks that are possible is refueling for more hours on on the job.

A robot can expand quickly but not as great as a human but allows fast time of gaining the information to help in law enforcement career. it allows fast time of producing a robots mind to help in precise task given. Robots can handle conflict situations more effectively and carefully.
