Minecraft: ♪ Dwarf Hole (Diggy Diggy Hole) Fan Song and Animation

The animation and song of this video are really great. The famous minecrafters Honeydew and Xephos (Simon and Lewis) are used in the animation and Simon's song of Diggy Diggy Hole he sings from the episodes. The animation timed very well with the lyrics and style.

CGR 232

Minecraft: ♪ Form This Way (Minecraft Parody of Lady Gaga's Born This Way)

This video was based off of another song, but the lyrics was changed to match the theme. The video and song synced up very well and the animation of the characters was very good.

abridged videos

CGR 231

Legend of Zelda: The abridged series - episode 1

This video was made with the game playing but voice overs are placed to make it funny. The timing seemed of from the voice to the video, but it could just be my thoughts.

CGR 232

Super Mario Sunshine: The Abridged Series - Episode 1

The video was put together fairly well. Some part where it had repeats could of been better. They were easily noticable because you could see the skips.

Zelda start screen

The start screen is well designed for the programing they had. The rocks actually look like rocks with the shadowing. The home page I'm making will have this kind of look.

CGR 232

Super Mario start screen

The start screen has the basic colors to keep people's attention. My navigation will have the arrow by the text like the mushroom.

CGR 231

Phantasy Star Start Screen

The start screen relates t the game. The space behind the text looks like space where you can see the stars. They got people's attention by putting a female on the front in a fighting pose.

CGR 232

Neutopia

This screen has some parts I plan on making for my kiosk. The dimond next to the start is something similar i will do to the navigation. I will also have an image of the school for the home page that I will try to pixelize.

Minecraft PSA #16 - Castle

This PSA is really funny. The castle is build really well and the added sound effects really bring out the video. The best part is when the statue comes to life and kills him.

CGR 232

Minecraft PSA #3 - Sneezing (Machinima)

This video is made by the same guy and is also funny. The guy pretends to be sick but still does stuff. the funny part is when he sneezes and blows up. The sound also gives more interest to the video.

1979 - STAR WARS Drunk Driving PSA Commercial

Taking creatures and a bar from the Star Wars saga gets people's attention. The opening shot starting with the musicians gets people wondering where this is going. The pan shot with no text stating whats going on also adds to this effect. Having the fade to the text saying to not let friends drive drunk will pull on people's heartstrings because some people let their friends drive and see the effects of what transpires.

CGR 232

Minecraft PSA #1 - Look Before You Open (Machinima)

This is a funny video of what could happen in minecraft. It was edited to have a bigger explosion by hidden tnt and added clips to look like it was a tv. The building of the house gets people to think "Why is this video about building when it says Look Before You Open?" Its not until the doorbell rings (added sound effect) and an army of creepers (minecrafter's worst enemy) at his door.

storyline videos

CGR 231

Minecraft: "Shadow of Israphel" Part 37: Ballooning

The Yogscast are really good at making a wonderful story. Lewis and Simon's friends create obsticles and story portions that Simon and Lewis have to go through. Simon and Lewis have no idea what their friends are making so they aren't prepared. That makes this series so exciting.

CGR 232

Man vs Minecraft - [S3] Day 6 "New Wing" (Role-play) 

Paul takes on minecraft like Bear Grills takes on the wild. Paul roleplays a survivor dude that has to do some type of survival test alot like Bear Grills does. What makes his video fun to watch is he adds music at certain points to keep it interesting.

video breakdown

CGR 231

Brawl Heroes Episode 3 Part 2

This video had some texture editing added to the game. The characer's color texture was changed to match what the person was aiming for. They were aming for a more evil look.

CGR 232

Wings of a Hero: Episode 3 - Ship in the Sky (Part 2)

The whole series of Wings of a Hero are good. They came up with a great story and it really plays out.

CGR 231

Star Wars Smoking PSA

This psa really gets your attention because it uses characters from the famous Star Wars movies. Kids and adults who love Star Wars will watch this video and most likely follow their example because they are famous.

CGR 232

BattleField 3 PSA- Mortars

This video is based off of the newest video game Battlefield 3. The amount of people who just camp and use cheap methods of getting kills has been increasing these past few years where now the games are no fun anymore. This video tries to promote fair game and use skill over cheap tricks.

PSA examples

CGR 231

Zombie PSA starring Zachary Levi

This public service anouncement plays off the apocalyptic zombies. Levi acts all serious about the zombie treatement when the video is kinda funny and I wanted to laugh.

CGR 232

Red vs Blue: PSA: Game On

This service anouncement grabs your attention because they talk about video games while being a video game character. The editing to have the charts on the screen help to enforce their point. Also, the editing to have other people on the screen looked weird but was kinda funny too.

CGR 231

Snake's Crazy Codecs - Snake's Worst Nightmare (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) 

This short video is really funny. It makes fun of snake by not letting him kill his prey. I like the ending where it has a part from metal gear solid where snake was asleep.

CGR 232

Machinima: Snake's Crazy Codecs - An Unfair Day (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

This is another video making fun of snake. His day is really bad and it kept getting worse. I know this can happen to anyone, but his day is worst than any I've had.

Smosh: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA RAP [MUSIC VIDEO]

This funny video was put together very well. There is a good bit of scenes children shouldn't hear because of it being something inapropriate. The song and beat fit well with the singing. They really timed it well.

CGR 232

SMBC Theater - The Legend of Zelda

This is another funny video that has questions that even I wonder about the game. The old man always talks in riddles that makes no sense and tells you to go to each lv when you could of bipassed each one with 1 item. I agree with the link actor about the flute, why can't you just telleport to gannon's castle from the start and just end it. Also, each lv was stupid when I played the game. They were basically all the same with little variations.

CGR 231: Halo weapons CGR 232: Kiosk examples

CGR 231


Plasma Sword - Halo

The plasma sword is basically like rotoscoping. The blade may have been made with polygons and angled to create the sword, but the glow is how rotoscoping is used to make the outline.

Halo Carbine

The carbine is designed for more of a long range attack. The two handholds can be used for different arm lengths and give it an easier way to carry it. The general shape is odd because it makes it hard to hold like a sniper so it can only be really fired by the hip mostly.

CGR 232


Kiosk map

This is a great example of what I could do for the kiosk project. This map has clickable areas that will give you more information on that area. This also counts as a map so you can navigate your own way around.

Kiosk Airplane info

This kiosk is another great example. The buttons are lined up on the left side and the right will show the information on that part of the plane. The button also light a different color so you know which page you are on.

good and bad video examples

CGR 231

Tales of Advent - Episode 1

This video is a mashup of different peices from different games and shows. The cutscene music is from the show One Piece. I do like the voice acting and the editing to make Samus' robotic voice. They did a really well job getting this complicated video to fit well.

CGR 232

King's Crown (100 Sub Special)

This video does suck a bit. The fight scenes were boring mainly because only one person was fighting for multiple people. The voices however were great except for regular link. His sounded more like a kid's voice and link is an adult. The funny editing was when Zelda transformed into King Dedede.

video examples and breakdown

CGR 231

wolf's retarded mission episode 1

Dexterboy did really well making the music at the beginning. The song really gives you a beginning image before the video and gives a hint to what may happen. The rest of the video is very funny (excuse any language) and the cut scenes help the transition from one place to another.

CGR 232

Snake's Crazy Codecs: Snake Needs Help (Super Smash Bros Brawl Machinima)

This video combines parts from multiple games along with alot of editing. The SSBB part has changes where gannondorf takes no damage when he walks and the laser gun had major bullet change. The bullets were pellets not laser blasts. The part where is really gets changed is the conversation. Slippy from Star Fox was added and metal gear solid characters were added. The voices had to be changed for slippy and them so they matched the game.

Star Fox video and outfit

CGR 231

The Fantastic Mr Star Fox

see link for video
http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6447830/the-fantastic-mr-star-fox

The video is really good and captures the characters like they were from the games with just a few changes in the side characters but a completely different fox. This fox just don't care what goes on anymore and hates his life. The video is funny in that aspect because fox is always being the hero and now he is just so opposite.

CGR 232

Star Fox outfit

Star Fox's outfit looks awsome and it is suited for any type of combat. His outfit has guards to keep his joints from injury that could hinder his movement. The colors are more like christmas colors of red and green, but the red is bright while the green is a duller shade. the jacket gives him that leader like look that makes people respect him.

CGR 231: Chain mail CGR 232: Wallet

CGR 231

Chain mail

Chain mail was designed to protect from blunt or slicing attacks. The interlocking rings dissipate blunt force from hammers and when someone tries to slice you the edges of the rings take the brunt of it. Only piercing types of weapons like arrows could penetrate it. Chain mail was cheap to make and used on footman in the Medieval era.

CGR 232

Leather wallet

Leather wallets are designed to withstand almost any type of damage. Weather has little effect to leather so if it was in the rain it would just be wet. Wallets have many compartments to hold all your cards and money without having them fall out. Also, wallets are small so they can be put in any pocket and can easily be stored so no one can find it.

Zelda songs

CGR 231

Zelda Medley

This girl did really well to play the music from the first zelda game on the NES. The scenes are direct cuts but they flow semelessly from certain areas like the first zelda game did. Her movements work with the music by dancing when the beat increases and slow movements when it slows down. The opening scene puts suspense before the music really hit.

CGR 232

Hyrule Symphony - Zelda's Lullaby

The movie could of been better if they had some serene pictures playing or some relaxing footage to go along with the song. The music is from OOT without any changes. It is a lullaby and I think it would put people to sleep. The calming beat isn't to high or to low but gets the point across.

Old, meaningful shows

CGR 231

Digimon

This old show still has meaning to people. This picture is telling us that no matter what happens our friends are behind us. The idea comming up with digimon was very creative. This is something I would of come up with for a game and not a show.

CGR 232

Pokemon

Pokemon sends the same message as digimon does that friendship is everlasting. People first thought pokemon was a ripoff of digimon but the 2 shows were made at the same time. It was just a coincidence that they had similar beasts with crazy powers. Both shows base their creatures off of living creatures or legends or plants.

Pictures

CGR 231

One Piece picture

I really like the perspective used. His hand really looks like its jumping off the page. The determination in their eyes really make them look like they are going towards their dreams.

CGR 232

Eureka Seven picture

This image really shows emotion. Their love for each other stands out. The background increases the effect with the waves flowing by them. They don't care what happens as long as they are together.

funny movies

CGR 231

History of the World Part 1 by Mel Brooks

This is a funny movie made to portray our earth's history, but not dis anyone's religion or beliefs. This part makes fun of the ten commandments and moses. I love these comedy movies and how they can get some information accross but still give you a laugh so its not boring.

CGR 232

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Black Knight

This funny movie has many surprises in it. This scene is a fight between 2 warriors. One keeps fighting no matter what happens to him, but everything that happens to him and what he does about it is funny.

More music examples

CGR 231

Paper Mario Music Tubba Blubba

The music has a good fighting/exploration beat. The music isn't too loud and the pitch is balanced between the high parts and the low background music.

CGR 232

Zelda: Twilight Princess Music - Midna's Lament

The music repetative but it has that nice calm, mysterious feel. Also, it makes good exploring music because it can give off a wondering feel like there is no one around for miles.

SSBB Maps

CGR 231


SSBB Temple map

The Temple map from super smash brothers brawl is really well designed to fight on. The land is floating above the planet but is still in the atmosphere. It is in ruins so it gives the feel that battles were waged here many times.

CGR 232

SSBB Final Destination map

The final destination map is a small flat platform floating through space. Since it is flat there is no cover and very little room so the battles are always point blank. Since is is small there is no running away from the fight when you need to.

Funny star fox parody


follow link to see video
http://www.collegehumor.com/video/5633958/star-fox-in-iraq

The video is a funny parody of Star Fox. A man with the code name Fox gets animated characters talking to him. I like how the characters are simple enough to be from the Nintendo 64 game and the audio is set for them without any mistakes. The ending is really funny when the animated explosion covers the screen like a real explosion would.

CGR 232


Monty Python animated beast

This is an older movie made before our animated characters. Their characters are drawn and moved around like stop motion. They made a funny piece when they used both real and paper portions. The color was off but its ok since it is an old movie.

LOZ song fixes

CGR 231

LoZ: Song of Healing: EPIC ORCHESTRAL VERSION

They did well recreating the song with their own orchastra, but it did have some things I would change. First, the music was a little too loud and one part sounded a little muddy. Second, the video was boring. It only had 2 pictures total and one was throught most of the video. Using a light, calming song they should of added more pictures to help represent that. Lastly, the music was a little off from the actual song. I would of gone back and fixed it to get a little closer to the actual song.

CGR 232

Zelda 64 - Bolero of Fire (Orchestral Movie)

The song was dead on, but don't call this a movie if it only has one picture. I understand that he went for more of the music than the astetics, but the look of a piece gives us more interest to listen to the music instead of just leaving the page. The music is also not too loud or to soft so there is no strain on the ears.

music videos

CGR 231

8 bit music video

The video and music fit really well together. The video makes you feel like you are playing the game. The music is simple and changes when the video gets something new or important.

CGR 232

NES Beads

This is a great stop motion but the audio needs fixed. The nes characters actually look like they move in the games perfectly. Also, the colors match the characters too. The audio is too loud and lost quality because they didn't fix the volume before uploading.

Statues

CGR 231

Chinese Dragon statue

The statue I think could of looked better. There is too much blue and not enough color. It has alot of detail, which is good, but it makes it hard to know what the dragon is sitting on.

CGR 232

Winged Lion statue

I have no idea why someone would give a lion wings. I feel they have no place and destract from the statue. The noble stance would also be better is it wasn't a ball his paw was on but a rock.

Star Fox vehicles

CGR 231

Arwing

The Arwing of Star Fox was designed to be fast and manerverable. It is aerodinamic so it can fly off of planets and is skinny enough to fit through narrow spots. The wing lengths do affect its ability to get through smaller openings without hitting the wings.

CGR 232

Landmaster

The Landmaster of Star Fox was designed for rougn terrain and deffense. The wheels are blade like to give its ability to cover any terrain. The armour is thick so it can take a beating. The firepower is also very great so it can deal as much damage as the enemy can throw at it.

Animation

CGR 231

Animation

The animated sword fight is really good. When they showed how they edited people doing the sword fight it explained how and what it took to make the animation more realistic.

CGR 232

Link vs DarkLink animation

Another animation made that was really good. The effects of the sparks and the formation and break of dark link really put it together. Also, the golden yellow costume made him look pure when he fights his darkness.

Rotoscope examples

CGR 231

Rotoscope

The artist did pretty well rotoscoping this image. One error I see is there is no indication of a chin, like it isn't there. The shadows are place well to give them depth.

CGR 232

Rotoscope video

The video was really good but what was odd and distracting was the random moving lines. Also, during certain parts where the audio played it made sounds that didn't feel like they belong and should be removed. The anoying screach at the start also was anoying and was loud.
