A Little About Me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello, my name is Andrew Peterson. I am currently a senior at Western High School in Anaheim, CA. I am currently enrolled in Theatre 2, Economics/Government, Digital Animation, Study Skills, Why Shakespeare?/Sci-Fi, and T.A. I decided to take Theatre 2 because it conquers the fear of being in front of a lot of people and it is fun to be someone your not. I also chose Digital Animation because I wanted to see what it was like to be the visual artist of video game design. I love to play video games and watch movies. My favorite game series so far is Kingdom Hearts. I like Kingdom Hearts because it combines Final Fantasy and Disney together to create one awesome adventure! I also like the new Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Word Text

This is a word text that I created in Digital Animation. We used Adobe Flash CS3 to create this. The trickiest part was creating my name and making it perfectly centered.

Haiku

This is a 2D animation that was made to follow a haiku that was created by ourselves. The part that was challenging was making the stick figure move in the motion that I wanted him to.

The Jet Pack

This video is similar to the Figure 8 video. The difference is that this is suppose to be a story line with a jet pack. This was the most fun out all of the animations to create. The challenge in this video was that making the animations in the background.

The Walking Cycle

This animation video is suppose to look like a character walking. This video was very hard to create. The challenging part was the steps and choosing which one goes in front of the other and how the arms move.

Figure 8

This is another digital animation video that I made. This video is suppose to look like he is flying in a figure 8 on a jet pack. This was very fun to make because i actually used a character for the first time. The challenging part was making him rotate while he is turning around.

The Bouncing Ball

This is my first digital animation video. In this video its suppose to look like a ball is bouncing. This assignment was very challenging because the ball had have the same shape but stretched in some points. In other points it had to be squashed. The hardest part was keeping it the same size.
