Video Analysis Path of Action

Okay, here are a bunch of things, starting with the image of my tracked path. Sorry I'm not in the image anymore; I was replaying the movie for my parents and teaching them about the graphs.

Here is the movie with my jump plus tracker

Next is the single jump used in the Tracker program

Followed by the rest of my jumps for the assignment.

Tracker Video Analysis of Falling

My Plots button was on the bottom right rather than the top, and it was hidden, so it took awhile, but I think I finally got it. I hope this is the correct image. I tracked the fall and the first bounce in my video. This is still from the 15FPS camera, and due to my car troubles I haven't found time to re-shoot the video, though I have found a 30FPS camera to use in the future.

Video Reference

I decided to go for something less conventional to drop. Yes... it is a tiger in a diaper...

This was recorded on a camera with 15FPS.

Hi Everyone, welcome to my blog! Before becoming an animation major, I started my career at SJSU as a Computer Scientist, which regrettably wasn't at all how I had imagined it, and I bombed terribly. School became a place I loathed attending. So, I took a chance at pursuing something I though I'd never have a talent for: Animation and Illustration. I picked up my art board and joined my very first art class. I received an A and thought "I might just make it in this crazy town" and switched majors. Since then I've been doing worlds better and school is a challenge I welcome with every new course. Here's a little bit of what I've done in the past couple of years. And I mean a couple; I never took an any art classes before college, which goes to show just how good SJSU's art program is.

This is a piece from my Art 12 Class, the Second Art class I took, called the Personal Symbol. The medium was black paper cut out and mounted on a white illustration board.




This is the final piece from my Art 122A class last semester. The idea was to do a self portrait with an old saying behind it. Mine was "lookers on see most of the game." This was a reverse drawing and is about 20"x29"

Here are the links to my videos. I couldn't get them to post here, so I uploaded them onto YouTube instead, which seems to work.

This link will take you to my hand drawn final animation from Art 28-Introduction to Animation and Illustration, which I took about a year ago now.

And this link is for my final in Art 51- Animation in Maya, which I took just last semester.

My First Post

This blog is dedicated to Physics in Animation, or as I so affectionately call it Physics 1.2.3. I am so excited for the upcoming semester that I have done the first homework assignment before even the first day of class. Huzzah! May the rest of Fall 2010 go so well. See you in class!
