http://www.awn.com/news/autodesk-rolls-out-cloud-based-3d-character-generator
this article is titled, "autodesk rolls out cloud-based 3d character generator" and this title is also self explanatory. i learned while reading tho article that there is a new easy to use animator generator. i learned that its a lighter version into animated caricatures. also, i learned that you don't have to start from scratch to make a caricature. they provide you the faces and you work with them, which i find way easier.
some opinions i have while reading this article where that they should have provided more information and provide how to get this generated at home.
the only question i have is, when does this come out?

http://blog.animationmentor.com/11-lighting-tips-from-the-lego-movie/
this article is titled, "11 lighting tips from the LEGO movie" and its pretty self explanatory. i learned that lighting is a key component in the making of animated objects into real life. i learned that when you want to do photorealistic lighting on inanimate objects you have to think realistically. lastly, i learned that if you want to go extreme its always good to push your bun dries and just go for it.
some opinions i have while reading this article is that they should have provided more examples and techniques.
i have no questions about this article.

this week i learned more about lip syncing and putting together a mash up video. i have never done one before but when i did my first, i learned that it wasn't that hard. i also learned that preparing for a project, makes it more difficult for me than actually just going with the flow when i do one. i know its different for others but for me, I'm a very indecisive person and i feel like my best ideas just come to me instead of thinking about them for hours and hours.
what i would love learning more about is how to make a video mash up more convincing. and how can you find the perfect lip syncing in video footage's?
my link of interest this week is my favorite trailer recut that makes the shinning look like a family fun film. its really good and well done! if you never watched the shinning, you would never realize that its a horror film.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s40Q6ODSI8

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/movies/lego-movie-creators-strive-to-blend-familiar-and-strange.html?ref=movies&_r=1
this article is titled "towards a kingdom without kitsch" and its about the new lego movie. legos have been around for a long time but this is the first ever full length feature film. 3 facts i learned while reading this article was that the setting is about an ordinary man who discovers something extraordinary about himself. i learned that the film is entirely stop motion. and lastly i learned that it needed to be "digitally perfect" so it could appeal more interesting and less amateur.
some opinions i have about this article is that what made them what to film a movie like this in the first place? and is it directly pointed towards children viewers? over all the article was well designed and i liked the examples.
i have no questions towards this article.
