What did I learn? During while making this I learned a lot about bump maps. I learned how to apply them to objects. I also learned that in order to  create a realistic bump map I need to adjust the shape of the object itself by moving the vertices. But I think I did apply my map wrong because when when the scene rotates the ice cream texture moves and it looks really strange. Other than that it was applied correctly. I learned also how to set key frames. I had no trouble setting the key frames. But I did have trouble rotating it I had to figure out how to move the center pivot to make the ice cream rotate in place. After that I set my beginning and end key frame and it was really simple and I enjoyed this project.

Creating my own pen Our most recent assignment was to create a pen of our own. I decided to create the pen body first and I did that by making a cylinder and then I used the extrude tool to make the other shapes on the pen. The hardest part for me was creating the curved grip. I had to create extra vertices and I had to size my vertices to fit a curve on my pen.  this is the pen I was trying to re create

The song my group chose was Telephone by Lady Gaga. We chose this song because she talks about how she's having fun without the guy being with her, and how she is doing fine without him. Our music video was supposed to portray the same thing. The video shows this girl crying over a break up and her friends are comforting her and making her feel better. We wanted to show that things get better after a break up and sometimes you just need your friends to find your happiness again. Pre-Production First we assigned roles, we each had a part to play when it came to the music video. Our original plan was to go to different stores and have her shop around, but none of the stores were going to let us film so we had to change the location of the film. I was the location scout so I was really happy when we figured out a place to film. Then we decided to get an actress, she was a friend of one of our group members so it was easy to find an actress. We also story boarded and we filmsca
