Animation



Today :) I'll just show You my first animation. It's not very
impressive, but it just show how stuff works :D
I made it using stop-motion method (drawing every single cell, taking photos and play them fast). In animation worldas we know it several different method of animations are used.
First one is the one which I already showed You :)

Second one - Puppets! There's a person or two behind every puppet. These people are moving arms, legs, mouth, eyes, etc and also making puppets speak! :)

Cut-out paper animation;

Plasticine - All characters are made from plasticine, and moved by ppl hands :) It takes a bit from stop-motion animation, where pictures are taken every tiny move of a character.

3D animation - these are made on computers :) by many different programs cooperating. Like audio, 3d modelling, photo editing and also programming languages :D

Combined - it uses various techniques of animation combined :)

Compare, again ...

Search engines and blogs

As a part of a course I need to show my ability to find information online. That's why we use these little web sites called search engines.
Google.
First one that I'll introduce here is our popular google. Now.. why is it good? Because they use worldwide placed fast servers . They expect milions users every single day so they are ready for that and make us happy getting our answers fast and satisfying.
Of course web is full of many different search engines i.e. : Bing.com, Ask.com, Yahoo.com ;) Main difference is that they are not as POPULAR as google... Some of them may be a little bit slower or wouldn't give as many search results as google though.

Tip of a day: don't use Google every time or you'll make other search engines sad when their servers become useless and lonely :)


Blogger and others :D

Blogs provide latest news on particular subject but in most cases they are used as a online personal diary. Blogger website cooperates with HTML code ( so you have opportunity to check out how html does look like) It also works a little bit like Iweb hehe.. You won't have to have any html knowledge as its fully automated and you just write your thoughts using one-click shortcuts.
It also allows us to upload movies, music and photos.
As a summary: blogger is the most customizable blogging website available.

And what's most important, that all is free!! ;) enjoy
