Levitating Sword Battle

Levitating Sword Battle

(Sci-fi Animation)

Digital Design II

First I drew a paper drawing of a sword, then I had it scanned then copy onto a document for photoshop. Next I used tools like paint brush and eliptical marquee tool to make a sword similar to the one I drew. Then I copied the layer with the sword put it on the other side of the document like a mirror reflection. Next I painted the 2nd sword with paint brush. Then I start with the animation. To make the sword spin I used rotate transform. then I used the move tool to make the swords clash. When they clashed I erazed the part of the sword that goes behind the other. Next I make them retreat back, one just move up near the upper corner, and the other I made it spin backwards. Now I make both swords tilt a little by using skew transform (and you can't fix it back using skew). Then I made them clash again. Finally I make the retreat from the collision again, but this time the sword on the left spins faster and faster. To make the sword look like it was spinning really fast, I used multiple swords layers that were spinning in the same place to make a illusion. Finally I make the sword on the left go out of the document while the illusion was still taking place. Then I had the black sword go into the middle like it was looking for the other. Then I had the white sword come from the other side and breaks the black sword in half in slow motion. I think it could use improvement.

   First I took three pictures of jewelry and placed them on one document. Next painted the background with black with paintbucket. Then I copied three pictures the website www.neave.com/imagination (I had to make the pictures by using the website with the mouse). Finally I placed each one behind each of the jewelry. I like this project but it needs one improvement. I need to make a phrase for my poster.

   First I took a picture of my face, placed it on a document and dupilcated it four times. For each one, I adjusted the colors of them by Adjustments, Gradient Maps. Mix up the colors you use to show the colors in the pictures well. I think its good and it doesn't need to be worked on further.

   First, I made a background using a school picture, using brushes to paint the explosions. Then I took a picture of myself and a cyborg head. Making the picture of me darker by changing the brightness and contrast. Next, I erazed parts of my face, then burning the face with burn tool, where it was erazed. Finally I place all of the objects on one document. I think its great but I need to make the school more visible through the explosion.

First I took a picture of myself and placed it on a photoshop document. Next I took part of the picture and placed that on another document. Then I used scale transformation and moved it to the bottom of the document. Next, I used polygonal lasso tool to select part of the top of the head and used Rotate transformation to move it. After that I darken my picture to remove the light from the camera I used to take the picture. Next I made my own background by going on www.neave.com/imagination/. To do this, when you make the background you want, type the print screen button and paste it on photoshop. After that I looked for pictures, resized them and removed the surrounding background of the pictures by using scale, then I used the erazer tool. Finally I moved the pictures to the right background and position and I'm done. I didn't have any problems except it took a while to make a background. I think I should change the picture of me on it. That's all I have to say about this.

First I got three pictures of myself and for each I painted each of me with quickmask so I could put them on one document. Then I painted tyhe background with a blue and orange color gradient that is reflected with using the Gradient Fill layer style. Next I used the gradient fill on both the "me's" that are behind the middle "me". After taht I looked online for circle paint designs and painted some in several layers of the project. I finished the project by altering the circle designs with bevel and emboss. I really liked this project and it doesn't need to be worked on.

First I made the black circle by using the rulers for the exact circle when I made a circle with the elliptical Marquee tool. Next I found a heart online then place it in the circle and changing it's size with scale. I gave it  a blue color. Then I found a picture of a dragon online and scaled it to size, fitting it into the circle. I had to remove the extra details I got with the heart and the dragon by using the erazer tool. After that I added a blue border with the rectangular marquee tool giving it a blue color with a outer and inner shadow with bevel and emboss. Finally after all that I made the banner sign with the custom shape tool, selecting banners. I really didn't have any problems making this. I'm happy with this and I think it's finished.
