revise/improve machine

With improving my machine, I went ahead and create a entire new composition. This time to better the understanding of my content, I added the screen of the slot machine while keeping the blow-up man. I planned to create movement of the dials by looping the position and opacity of the images. It didn't work, the images were all over the place when I replayed it so I went to plan b. Although the movement of the dials is not the best duplicated, the added scene helps my piece. I again had breaks appear when I parented objects within my machine. After last week, I decided to split layers to prevent the changing of key frames earlier in the scene. It still came out rough. However, i am happier with the latest composition. I feel it to be closer to success than last week.

artist essay choice/research

I decided on writing my essay on the artist Saul Bass. As an artist, he was worked as a commercial graphic designer and filmmaker. He won a academy award and is best known for "The Man with the Golden Arm" and his title sequence for Alfred Hitchcock. I decided on Bass for his distinctive style and his impressive biography. Another reason is because I remembering being fond of the graphics in Alfred Hitchcock,before I even knew what graphic design was.
