My second term has started here at the Art Institute of Portland.  I had my first class yesterday afternoon, Typography I.  I dropped it immediately after class ended.  It didn’t sound fun at all and I was the least bit interested in learning about typography.  I also dropped my Color Theory class, which I would have had this morning.   Instead, I added Intermediate Visual Effects, the next class after the Intro to Visual Effects class I took last term where I made the video from my previous post.  My remaining classes are Intro to Editing (video editing, that is), Intro to Audio, and 3D Modeling and Animation II.  Despite having only four classes this term, I think I’m going to be busier than last term since I’ve heard that all four are rather project intensive.

Last term, I had 3D Modeling and Animation I.  We modeled a local restaurant call The Chow, which was converted to a restaurant from an old gas station.  We also worked on a few ball drop animations.  The video below shows my animation of a bowling ball and a beach ball rolling and dropping off of a table and bouncing to a stop.  It then shows the model of The Chow.  I added some additional features to my model like fog, flickering patio lights, and bugs buzzing around the lights.  I think it turned out pretty well for my first time.
