weekly comments

 This week i was happy to actually finish the Documentary project.... it was a close call.

I was frustrated when my computer crashed and i had to redo one of my blog post, it was pain to retype it all

I learned that rendering in premier is a horrible thing and i wish it was faster, 30 minutes for a 7 minute video is not okay....

I want to learn to make explosion effects, it looks like fun

Big Hero 6 soft robots possible?

 This article takes a sciencey look at Baymax, the soft robot protagonist of Big Hero 6. The creator got the idea after visiting a robotics museum and seeing a soft robotic arm. While Baymax may still be a thing of fiction, it will be possible for a humanoid soft robot in the future.

  I didnt even know robots couldn't just be all metal. The fact that a soft robot in a fictional movie could eventually be real is definitely a cool thought and i really want to see it happen... mabye just like Baymax?

Interstellar Science

   This article talks about the making of the black hole amd other science in the movie Interstellar. Science and art come together once again to create something awesome. The extinction scale event causing everyone to leave Earth is an invasion of a blight fungus causing crop to fail and was inspired by The Dust Bowl in the depression era. The space travel in the movie is possible, but wont happen for a while. The coolest part was the black hole, working together with a real astro-physicist the artists were able to create a realistic black hole that looks as awesome as it sounds. They were even able to accurately create what the affects of surviving a black hole would be.

This is another awesome example of how science and art can work hand in hand to create something cool. The black hole creation looked sooooooo cool but i would never want to do that much math...ever. The wormhole thing was cool too but was out shined by the black hole in my opinion. I liked the science of the space travel and i really want to experience it for real before i die. Overall it was just awesome.

This week i was happy to make a successful last minute Halloween costume, it was effective in scaring many people.

I was only frustrated when my tutorial in premier kept becoming corrupt and i had to redo it.

 I learned  that dead batteries make any toy creepy, i put some in my ROB last night and woke up with his arms pointed at me like he was trying to escape his cabinet and get me.

I want to know how to get Premiere for cheap... instead of for multiple thousands of dollars.

Horror Movie Phsycology

    This article/ video was about the psychology of why we watch horror movies. According to this article our fascination with horror goes back to our evolutionary instincts of survival and our natural fear of animals over people, objects, and landmarks explain the shapes of the monsters. Our fears could be explained by Freud's theory that our interest is in the "uncanny" or Aristotle's theory that scary stories give us a chance to purge our negative emotions bu these theories are incomplete. Recent studies show we watch for four reasons; gore watching, thrill watching, independent watching, and problem watching.

    This article looks at horror movies in a way we usually don't, which is cool. It shows us the reasons we watch horror movies like letting us face our fears without actually confronting them and tht we like to identify with the victim/ hero, or the killer. Its cool that the reason that we love horror is that it goes
