Wednesday June 10

Day 8-

Today we had an awesome lesson on rotoscoping. This involves at tracing individual frames of a movie and coloring them with paint tools. This creates realistic cartoon-looking motion clips. I took a video of a cat playing on the keyboard and used this technique to create a realistic cartoon version of this. It was also neat to try using the graphics tablets instead of the mice, which was a nice change.

During math we learned about slopes, the Pythagorean theorem, and basic trigonometry. After a tour of the ITLL, lunch, and a game of ultimate, we used these ideas to make a program that launched a car on a ramp across the screen at different angles and velocities.
