# 206 Comedic Task

Examples of funny stuff from my past



Scary movie 1 or 2



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei3WdvTkkCQ
Break down
It was about the same time as the American pie Movies rise to fame and Scary movie was taking the micky of the way the older horror films were made just a friendly stab at Hollywood's take on scary and I knew that which is why i found this a funny franchise to dabble in.

American Pie franchise

Team America

to be honest at first i thought it was thunder birds until i saw it its just really unusual and i enjoyed the way they made the movie taking more little stabs at Hollywood esk and the American personality stereotype. 

I also grew up on Mr Bean so here is one
Breakdown
I was very young and was my introduction to Rowan Atkinson so I loved them the episodes not the movies they aren't so great.

# BSA 202 Soundscape

Today we made a minor soundscape (make a picture in the mind of the audience with sound) because from time to time my darker sense of humor can grip my creativity i could have easily done a very long scape just as by playing around i would have made it way more sinister but the other sounds are broken at this stage and would have blown the listeners ears to bits.


Either way i am stoked with the little envisioning of a horrific crash caused by sudden lightening strikes i was giggling through out. however i know i still have a lot of tricks to learn as of yet here is snap shot of the scape.

 

yeh cant wait to continue these classes.

# 225,226

Today we took a stab at 3D modeling a candle this is the candle stick or holder I had made in maya today which was a horror scene or gothic type outcome well experiments have the ups and downs of an elevator.

  

otherwise after trying to teach my brain to handle the format with G we used to repeat the previous tool at this stage it was extrude and using the outer most boxes i could uniformly scale up and down the selected face or faces after asking for a little help from Vaughn and changing the way my brain was trying to receive the information i managed to come trough with a better version of the candle.

  

a little bit better but still not the same as the picture in the back.

however i still learnt a heap in this class alone.

# Audio 1

So far we have watched a few documentaries on sound and the most famous composers of the few centuries been and gone and how the effect of a good composer or sound track can either ruin a film or animation or of course can make it the recognition it deserves.
P.S Pro Tools uses I locks or dongles for licence theft restrictions, good on ya Pro tools thumbs up.

How to pro tools Tips spot and slip modes
Slip will allow free form slip along the row or track line.
Here is a shot of the interface with an imported sound of rain


I cannot wait for more awesome lessons on this wee tool interface for sound generation and other variations of sound in puts for future references to return too
File,Import,(sound file),Add,New Track,done.
At 5 or 10 seconds add some Thunder.

Fade in and out if you hover over the name of the track in the left ish corner you will notice the courser change to a little square consisting of a grey and white this is the fade type thing

Now cross fades in the file drop down in the top left corner you will find the at the very bottom a Fades bar if you don't have a audio file issue you will get this.
