Modern web browsers are capable of producing some amazing audiovisual candy, through new capabilities like HTML5, fast JavaScript, WebGL and Web Audio API. In this session, Carlos talks in detail about his work developing interactive 3D experiences using these technologies.
He will take an in-depth look at the production of high-end WebGL projects including Lights, HelloRun and Racer-S, to discuss the graphics, audio and input development techniques used.
He shows how to take advantage of the three.js engine to deliver immersive 3D visuals running at high performance on desktop and mobile browsers.
This presentation will also cover music visualization and sound effects, using Web Audio API for sound processing and analysis.
Carlos also discusses the integration of a broad range of input technologies like touch, mouse, keyboard, accelerometer and Leap Motion controller, along with some interesting lessons learned.
1. production experiments(1)
Carter Smith created an animation experiment of a running pig using Photoshop. He used color, time frames, and the pen and fill tools to create layers showing the pig in different positions to appear running. Carter started with one image of the pig and then created three more to show its movement. In his reflection, Carter indicates he will include the timeline aspect, pixel design technique using the pencil tool, and unique pixel art graphic style in his final product.
1. Production Experiments
The document describes three experiments conducted by Leticia Lopes to develop elements for a final product. The first experiment involved drawing clouds in different layers to create an animated background.

4. production experiments(1)
Thomas Battams conducted several experiments to develop animations and visual effects for potential inclusion in a final game project. The experiments included altering a sprite to add sword animations, creating a charging and beam firing animation by splitting it into two parts, and making a flickering light effect by cycling through opacity layers. While some elements like the fluid sword animation and light effect showed promise, others like the beam were not suitable for the final product. The reflections indicated the character and concept of a flickering light may be included, but elements would need to be improved or resized to fit better.
1. production experiments
The document describes the process of experimenting with creating spritesheets, side scrolling backgrounds, and animations for a side scrolling game. Key elements that will be included in the final product are spritesheets to organize sprites, a method of creating a side scrolling background by drawing it on a double-width canvas, and animating by moving the background once the character reaches the center of the screen. Music will also be created using Beepbox and included in the final game.
Video game experiments
Will Anderson conducted several experiments to practice animations for a video game. The first experiment involved drawing walking animation frames for a placeholder character. Four frames were completed but more were needed for smoothness. The second experiment was a punching animation with hair and body movement. The third experiment had more complex movements with clothing and hair animations. The final experiment used BeepBox to create background music and a sound effect to accompany a punching animation video. Lessons from the experiments that will be applied to the final product include realistic movement with clothing and hair, improved frame fluidity, and 8-bit sound effects created in BeepBox.

Sound effects and music were added in Premiere Pro to complete a demo video. Lessons from the experiments will inform the final video game project.
1. production experiments
Bronte Parsons conducted experiments with animation techniques in Adobe Animate. For the first scene, a man running away from a car was animated by toggling the visibility of layers as they moved forward each frame. A scrolling background was also created by drawing a wider background and using tweening to make it loop as it moved left. Finally, a technique was practiced for a shovel sticking out of the ground by cutting the overlapping area to a new layer to keep it in line with the rest of the shovel. These layer animation and scrolling background techniques will be useful for Bronte's final product.
3. production experiments
The document summarizes experiments conducted for a magazine cover and double page spread. For the cover, the student found the centered actor and transparent text boxes over images worked well. For the double page spread, elements like using strokes to make images and text stand out, adding blur and darkness to the background to make text more visible, and having text wrap around an image were useful techniques to potentially include in the final magazine project.

Game production experiments
This document summarizes three experiments the author conducted to improve their skills in creating animated games. In the first experiment, the author created a simple nighttime scene with one moving character. They realized movement needed improvement and more elements were needed. The second experiment had daylight, gameplay, and multiple simultaneous movements. It was more complex but still lacked detail. The third experiment featured intricate bird animation and overlapping sun rays and clouds. The author felt this realistic background was their best and would inspire their final product.

The document describes three experiments conducted by Gemma Nicholls involving animation. The first experiment involved creating a stick figure running animation in Photoshop. The second experiment involved creating animated character expressions and interactions for a game in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. The third experiment involved animating a ballerina in different positions in Photoshop and combining it with music in Premiere Pro. Reflections noted that placement of limbs is important for animation flow and using different speeds of frames can improve animation. Experiences with audio and video synchronization were also useful lessons learned.
production reflection
Ben Dix created an animated videogame intro sequence. He drew sprites of an airship with different smoke and propeller positions, which was tedious. He realized later he could have separated the smoke to save time. Ben then drew a close-up shot of the airship scrolling across the screen, which he enjoyed creating. Next, he animated an anchor landing using layers and the elliptical tool. The final scenes included a shaded map screen that Ben found satisfying to draw. However, due to time constraints, some planned animations were cut.

Sean plans to use available college software and online resources for his production experiments. He will use Premier Pro to convert file formats and considers online converters as an alternative. In his experiments, Sean extracts 3D models from games, imports them into Maya for rigging and animation, then exports the animated models into After Effects using an OBJ sequence since FBX files are not supported. He adds lighting, shadows, and other effects to improve the realism of the animations. Sean also experiments with particle effects and green screen techniques. He discusses the tools used and potential issues to address in his production work.
2.2 Production Experiments-2.pptx
The document describes experiments conducted to learn new video editing techniques. In experiment 1, the author created a gradient wipe transition effect to use between similar action shots. They also gained experience using a new iPhone gimbal. Experiment 2 aimed to emulate Edgar Wright's fast-paced style. The author tested different methods for adding camera flash transitions, including using brightness/contrast changes and color level adjustments. Downloading pre-made light leak overlays provided another option but was less original. The author plans to incorporate light transitions in their project to help tell a comedic story in a visually appealing way, as inspired by Wright.

Jack Henderson conducted experiments with visual effects techniques like sky and set replacements. In his first experiment, he replaced the sky with a basic space scene from Google but did not like the unrealistic result. His next experiment involved adding a building found on Google into the landscape using masking and color grading tools. For his final experiment, he motion tracked a spaceship flying through the scene. Though not entirely realistic, it provided knowledge on creating such effects. The experiments taught him the multiple programs and extensive masking needed for visual effects work and gave him perspective on time management for his final product.
Midterm portfolio final
Kristine created a 3D model of Baymax from Big Hero 6 for her class assignments. Over multiple iterations, she improved her modeling skills and was able to create a more accurate representation of Baymax. In her final assignment, she used advanced modeling tools like CV curves to construct Baymax's body and limbs smoothly. She added basic shaders but had difficulty making the model match the original's reflectivity. In the future, she hopes to further refine the model and lighting and potentially animate Baymax.
Mouth letters
The document describes the process of animating mouth movements for a character. The artist drew each frame individually to ensure smooth movement when assembled. They saved the frames as JPEGs and then imported them into the animation software Dragonframe to assemble the sequence. Watching the completed animation, the artist was pleased that it matched their imagined outcome. They plan to use Dragonframe and a similar mouth shape for most characters in future work due to the smooth results.
5. pre production
The document provides details on fonts, colors, and images that will be used in a pre-production style sheet for a video game. It includes the names and intended uses of 8 fonts as well as colors that will be used for characters, scenery, and other elements.

The research strengths included insights from similar games, while weaknesses included a less relevant case study game and primary research that did not significantly impact the final product. Planning strengths included effective research focus, while weaknesses were a lack of detail. Time management challenges arose from losing a week to weather, requiring rushing work. Technical qualities were compared to Sonic and Mega Man, while aesthetic qualities could be improved by more detailed stage textures. Audience appeal prioritized themes, gameplay over story, and cooperative play based on survey responses.
7. production reflection
Thomas created a video game for a class project. He began with pre-production work like researching similar games, developing initial plans, and creating experiments. Due to snow days, he spent extra time on pre-production including a proposal, planning, and experiments. During production, Thomas designed levels and began animating but had to cut content due to time constraints. He added sound effects and music. For evaluation, Thomas reviewed research, planning, time management, technical and aesthetic quality, and audience appeal. Though parts were cut, Thomas was happy with the completed animated game.
3. research
Here are my responses to your interview questions:
For level themes, a city/urban theme would be interesting as it's not overly common in platformers. This tells me including a city-inspired stage would appeal to this audience member.
They acknowledged story isn't essential if the core gameplay is fun, but that some story is preferable to avoid boredom. This suggests keeping any narrative simple while focusing on gameplay.
They agreed co-op could make the game more enjoyable like in Cuphead. This indicates multiplayer support would appeal to this interviewee and potentially others.
In summary, this person's preferences point to including a city-themed level, a lightweight story, and co-op gameplay features to engage and
5. proposal
This proposal outlines a 2D platformer video game targeted at teenagers and young adults aged 15-21 of mixed gender from lower-middle socioeconomic backgrounds. Research will be conducted on similar classic games like Mario and Sonic to determine effective level, enemy, and boss battle designs. The game will have graphics inspired by 8-bit or 16-bit era titles. Ongoing and final self-reflections will evaluate the game's development process and outcomes to improve the creator's future work.
2. initial plans
The document outlines Thomas Battams' initial plans for developing a 2D side-scrolling platformer video game. It includes an initial reaction, mind maps of early game ideas and influences, a mood board analyzing visual influences, and a proposed schedule. The main game concept is for a platformer similar to Mario and Sonic where the player navigates levels while losing hit points from enemies. Research sources cited include platformer games like Sonic Mania, Super Mario World, and Cuphead as well as magazines and developer interviews.
undertale case study
The document provides an overview of the game Undertale, including a description of the game world which is split into seven different areas with varying terrain and objects. It also describes the main characters including Frisk and Chara, how different NPCs react depending on the player's choices, and how bosses change in different routes. Additional topics covered include the feedback interface which tracks the player's actions, cut scenes, perspectives, gameplay type, complex narrative with different endings, and setting in the Underground beneath Mt. Ebott.
Print Evaluation
The document describes the research, planning, and production processes for creating a magazine. It discusses researching existing magazines to understand their structure and content. Plans were made for the front cover, double page spread, and website. The front cover and double page spread were created in Photoshop and InDesign, respectively, with some changes from the initial plans. The website was built in Wix. Comparisons are drawn between the created pieces and examples from existing magazines. Some challenges included issues with fonts and images across the different software programs used.
Print project
PlayStation Official Magazine is a monthly UK-based magazine that was created in 2006 to cover news and information about PlayStation games and consoles such as the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, including gameplay details, lifestyle coverage, and HD media reviews. It originally distributed every 3 months but switched to a monthly format after the first issue, and starting with issue 7 in 2007, it included a playable Blu-ray disc. The magazine covers PlayStation games and devices but also provides some coverage of PlayStation Vita games and material.
6. evaluation sf 2017
This document discusses the evaluation of a short film production project. It covers research, planning, production, peer feedback, and areas for improvement. Some key points:
- Primary research for determining the target audience had some unhelpful responses, while secondary research on similar genres was more useful.
- Planning went smoothly overall but didn't account for last-minute story changes that could have improved the film.
- Peer feedback noted issues with the music timing and sound effects quality, while praising the exposure and concept.
- The producer agrees the music timing was off but feels some effects were appropriate, and would focus more time on each stage of the project given more time.
3. proposal sf 2017 in progress
This proposal is for a short film called "Reset" aimed at a target audience of 12 to 21 year old males and females in socioeconomic categories B, C1, and C2. The concept involves two people fighting, with one dodging attacks until being sliced and then resetting/time traveling back to redo the fight successfully. Production will utilize green screen and After Effects for special effects like time travel distortions. A schedule outlines initial response, pre-production like research and proposal, filming, post-production, and screening over 5 weeks.
4. pre production sf 2017
This document provides a template and guidance for planning a short film project. It outlines sections to include for visual planning, organizational planning, soundtracking, and risk assessment. Recommendations are given for storyboarding, shotlisting, casting, locations, and obtaining necessary props and audio while avoiding risks. Royalty-free online resources are suggested for finding sound effects, music, or footage as needed. The template is meant to help structure pre-production and ensure all necessary elements are considered.
2. research sf 2017
The document discusses research conducted for a short film about time travel. A survey found that the target audience prefers action, comedy and sci-fi genres and a mix of endings. Most would find a 1-2 minute film about time travel interesting. Research on similar sci-fi films found the target demographic is 15-30 years old. The film would likely receive a 12 rating due to some violence but no profanity or sexual content. Examples of short films were analyzed to identify production techniques to employ, such as camera shots and special effects. Camera and editing experiments were also conducted to prepare for the actual short film.

4. production experiments
- 2. Process This experiment was used in order to show some of the basic platforming that would be in the final products. First I had created a simple background by just creating two blocks for the sky and ground, followed with some simple platforms in order to show off the platforming segment of the experiment, for the character all I had made was a little red ball, as i felt like this would be appropiate enough for the purposes of the experiment, and using the 8 bit character from the Irn-Bru Advergame would be a bit much for the purposes of the experiment. As well as animating this, I had started to animate something basic in the background by having a cloud slowly move past in the background as the animation goes on.
- 3. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? – The Basic Design will be expanded upon with this experiment. – The Basic Platforming will carry over.
- 4. Process This experiement was an example of a character sprites animation cycle, where they start running before jumping up into the air. The process of making this was quite simple, with the character’s individual sprites being pre-made from the advergame that I’d made a couple months ago. They were remade with a new colour palette and transferred onto a blank canvas, where the individual sprites were put together in order to create this small animation.
- 5. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? – The Character Sprite and the Animation will likely be carried over to the final product, however a 16 Bit Version could also be used.
