Sky Mountain

This project was to make a mountain float in the sky and add two objects to make it unique. I first went through the steps of making the mountain have a point which took me a couple times to get it the way I wanted it. I learned a lot of things along the way like the refine edge tool and how to change the opacity and add effects like multiply and soft light to make the objects stand out but not a lot to make it look out of place. I would probably edit the mountain and the sky a little more so it looked more realistic but overall I think I did a good job.

 This is what my mountain in the sky looked like before I edited the hue and changed opacities.

This is what my mountain looked like after I edited the hue and added a grey scale and used the multiply tool to make the image darker.       This project was to make a mountain float in the sky and add two objects to make it unique.

Final Product!

Shadow

First you have to make a copy of the layer of your original image and then use the keyboard short cut (Control T) to transform the copy of the image.  Then use the gradient tool and do black to white. Then you change the setting to multiply. I also changed the opacity some to make it look more realistic. Then you make the gaussian blur 3 pixels. Then you use the refine edge tool and make it the way you want. I enjoyed making the shadow of the tiger because it was difficult to make it realistic but fun at the same time.

We're Dancing Tonight Tonight

         Coming up with the idea                                                           

To make this music video we first came up with what we wanted to video to represent. We wanted it to be happy and to make people laugh. Then we found a song to match the theme of the music video which was the song Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae. 

Starting the Process

We then made a story board by watching other music videos to get inspiration. The group that I was with made the process fun and a great learning experience because we each brought individual things to the table.

What I Learned

 If I could do this differently I would add more shots at the end and do it outside of school. I think I would keep the theme and details of this project the same because I think the story behind it was good. This experience was a lot of fun and I would do it again because it was fun to create a music video of my own and working as a group.

Red Spheres

 This is the sphere I made in photoshop it was difficult and challenging but I learned a lot. The shadow in photoshop to me a while to make the way I wanted it to look. The gradient was also hard to get the way I wanted it to look. The hardest part was getting the lightest spot and the darkest spot to line up so it was correct.

The sphere in illustrator was easier to make and I enjoyed making in unique. It took me a while to get the darkest parts to match up. I also wanted to make my "red" sphere stand out so I made it blue because it made me feel like it was its own and special. I also wrote my name because it is easier in illustrator to write things. I overall liked using illustrator more I think it is more user friendly.
