My Little Intro !!!

Hi there!!! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jotham Penalosa. I am 19 years old.


I am a first-year student at TUD (Technological University of Dublin) and I am studying Creative Digital Media. So far, I am enjoying the course a lot.


Now let me tell you more about myself. Let's start off with my hobbies, simple but can tell a lot about a person. I enjoy listening to music a lot, not any particular genre. It just depends on my mood.


Going on adventures with friends is probably my favorite hobby. I do enjoy nights out but i prefer to go out and explore and find a place to just relax and talk about everything.


I'm not really an athletic person and I don't take much interest in sports too, but I do go to the gym just to balance out all the unhealthy food and drinks I consume.


Haven't really had a favorite film until Joker had come out to the cinema. I particularly enjoyed this film because how it tackled the problem society impacts on some people and how unfair the world really is.

So now let's talk about food. It's hard to pick a favorite especially when it comes down to food but if I had to pick one, I would have to say pizza. I mean the combination of toppings is endless. From your plain cheesy margarita to something bizarre like tuna, egg and pineapple (not that I have tried that).


There isn’t much left about me to discuss. So, I guess this blogs purpose is to show you guys my daily go about in life as a student in hopes that you and everybody else who follow the blog can relate and enjoy another student’s journey in college and daily lifestyle.


Enjoy.

First Mission - Art of the Animated GIF

~Product~


There were a total of 6 task in this mission so we evenly split the task between the three of us. The task I am assigned to is to make a simple, 12-frame animation and an animated GIF from a video clip. The idea I had in mind for the 12-frame animation is an sheet of paper that is crumpling up in to a ball by itself. The making of this GIF wasn't particularly difficult at all.

So what is a 12-frame animation? It's basically an animation that consists of twelve images that correspond with one another to create a one second clip. The way I made this GIF started with a flat clean piece of paper laid flat on the table. To create self-crumpling effect i took twelve different pictures using my phone. In the first photo was the sheet laying flat and untouched the second image was after i have slightly crumpled the paper. I repeated these steps till i got the twelve photos I needed. The last photo was the sheet of paper crumpled in to a ball. Without my hand in any of the twelve photos allowed it to have the self-crumpling effect. I then inserted the twelve photos in "GIPHY" and using the GIF maker I place the photos in order and reduced the clip time to one second.

The second GIF is the animated GIF from a video clip. The making of this GIF was very simple. The only thing needed to make this GIF is a one to three second clip from a movie, cartoon or T.V. show and maybe from any genre, and secondly, not necessary, a caption or tag.

The creation of our presentation was probably the most difficult only because we wanted it to look very aesthetic , have as very little text as possible and also who was going to present first. The overall look and layout of the presentation we exactly as planned.We were able to present each others work clearly and also the order of our own slides were laid out in order to allow us to gather the knowledge before presenting after one of us speaks.
