This week I began to learn Cinema 4d. I started to go through lynda.com pro tutorials and learn various things about the interface, preferences, and different tools. With this knowledge I re-did the Ball Bearing Gear tutorial which was very simple. I plan on animating it and learn how to make realistic materials.

Five-Week Plan-My Five Week Plan consists of beginning to learn and advance my abilities in Cinema 4D. I plan to create something of my own that will make not only me proud but also the Boss. I will use tutorials and the pilot program on the original Mac Lab site to learn new skills and techniques. These new skills and techniques will guide me in creating something of my own.

GM Challenge- I have completed Skocko’s level Eat Prey Love in roughly 8 mins.

GM Deathmatch- I started at 8:56am and beat Eat Prey Love flawlessly at 9:42am. Took me MANY tries but I finally did it. First time since I have been able to beat the Boss’ game in the 3 years I have been in the class. The hardest part too me was the box in Level 3.

GM Quests-I completed all Missions, including Bonus Missions in the GameSTAR Story mode.

This week I worked on past quests such as the resume and continued to work on my Mythology which I did not feel was good enough for submission. But I will continue to work on it. I also continued to update my blog which wasn’t updated since week 24/25.

The quote from the documentary The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell to me represents the idea that we all look for past heros or heroine and in that case god’s for guidance through the world. I personally believe in God and am a Christian who t to live my live in the image of God. This guides me and how I should live my life.

This week I worked on my Logo for Mythology which I plan on presenting to Skocko. This is a work in progress like everything in the Mac Lab, because you are never done in the Mac Lab.

Mythology- In my second attempt for Mythology, I was inspired by Skocko presentation about a student who had the idea of “Sisyphus Gym”. This sparked me to think of the idea of “Hermes Shoes” which derived from the Greek mythological God hermes which is know for athletics and his famous winged sandals. My original logotype and logo was pitiful and has developed into “Hermes Running Company”. I was still not happy with the logo so I went back to the drawing board and created a more simplistic logo which I plan on creating digitally Thursday and then present it to Skocko on Friday before the deadline. I will continue to update.

This week I started to learn code which was a great joy for me. My father is a computer programmer  for the company Symitar and he writes code in using a program called PuTTY. This inspired me to start learning about code. I worked on the tutorials on www.codeacademy.com and progressed that week. My current “level”/”progression”.

This week I worked on my resume and i was enlightened on how inexperienced I am and what little qualities that would apply to getting a job. But I understand why because I have put all of my effort into trying to get into a college. I have also learned how I have not took a full advantage in AMP but I plan on in the future.

Resume- This is the traditional resume, which took an extended amount of time because of how little experience I have in the workforce and leadership. I will soon begin working on the graphic resume which should be enjoyful in that I can embark myself into my creative mind.

This week I worked on the alphabet quest and completed my March calendar. I have also tried to level up by mastering old quests in weeks such as 1,2 and 3.

March Calendar Complete

A B C | Phase I-  have found 3 images of C,H,O and correctly cropped and resized them.

If we were to post this quote by Neal Stephenson  around the school it would stir up quite the controversy because not everyone one in the learning department agrees with this, the quote also sums up how the standards of learning should be changed.This quote is important to me because it sums up how to bring up a generation through creativity and the ability to express yourself. Now a days we are taught to be restricted from our potential in order to follow the Besmear system of learning.

This week I worked on the required quests and began the Epic Quest of Color Theory.

An Interesting Challenge: Basically this quote by Neal Stephenson is important to me because it sums up how  to bring up a generation through creativity and the ability to express yourself. Now a days we are taught to be restricted from our potential in order to follow the Besmear system of learning.

Bridge 101: Since I used Bridge back in Freshman Year and Sophomore Year, I have already seen all 4 of the videos so I was not overwhelmed by any sort on how to use Bridge and I plan on using it for my whole time in Mac Lab.
