If I could, I would&#8217;ve at tried moving it across the screen, and maybe add more seagulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1006-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"504\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1006-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1134\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/paper-nature\/jtartaglia\/joy-tartaglia-paper-nature\/attachment\/img_1006-1\/\" class=\"wp-image-1134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1006-1.png 672w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1006-1-400x300.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1008.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"504\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1008.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1135\" data-link=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/paper-nature\/jtartaglia\/joy-tartaglia-paper-nature\/attachment\/img_1008\/\" class=\"wp-image-1135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1008.png 672w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/IMG_1008-400x300.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I focused on smoothing out the issues that bugged me most: the looping videos, the single seagull, and the lack of seagull movement. <br><br>The gulls were a simple improvement. I decided to stick with the silhouette image and I simple made more objects. I changed their size and rotation and gave them different positions. Then I had them move a little. Since they are kind of flying towards the screen, I ramped the volume on their accompanying cries so it starts quiet and gets louder.<br><br>The looping videos was an issue I smoothed out through my prior experience with fading in objects. I made duplicates of each videoplane so when one finished, the other could start and there&#8217;d be a smoother transition between the end of a video and the start of the same video. I ended up shuffling the layers of all videos and objects to accommodate the extra videos, but that wasn&#8217;t much of a problem. The problem was the fade and timing of the transitions between the videos. At first, I thought of having all four videos run simultaneously and having all of them looped, but after tons of fiddling, I realized there was a simpler way to do it. In the end, I used a bunch of delay objects to delay the bang that would start the duplicate video. The delay would make the bang wait until one video is nearly completed, then the line object would fade out the ending video while the next video is just starting to play. There&#8217;s still a little awkwardness since the camera&#8217;s position and the waves vary between the beginnings and ends of the videos, but I think the fade looks a lot better than the awkward pause and abrupt loop.<br><br>I kept the black transition between the two different videos. Since they were a slight change in location, it seemed more appropriate. Overall, I&#8217;m pretty satisfied with how everything turned out. I thought to add something else to the skies, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if anything besides clouds would work, and clouds seemed a little redundant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1167\" width=\"579\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59-533x300.png 533w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3200-a19\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2019\/09\/Screenshot-59.png 1838w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paper Nature 2 0\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Vo6TT417dfM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also decided to stick with using the clip instead of stabbing the seagull on my paper controller, so no marker-drawn seagulls were harmed in the making of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I drew some waves of varying shapes and sizes.
