I've been animating for years now, but I've always wanted to get into 3d animation. But I was always worried it would be too hard, with how confusing blender looks. But when I finally sat down and really tried, it came to me. In these past 4 months I've improved my animation skills so much. I can finally say I'm proud of the things I create!

i made a video describing how i made a video game i mostly learned about coding and it was very fun

My project was to take a video from YouTube as well as a different sound that was not the original sound of the video and put it together so that the video and the sound align. For this project, I used Adobe Premiere Pro. For the video and audio the tool I used was the razor tool. The process of using the razor tool was a tedious process of cutting different parts to make it fit with the video. As for the audio I used the razor tool to put different parts of the song together. For the transition I went to the effects panel and placed drip to Black and drip to weight in the parts of the video to make it flow smoothly. I also had to change the speed of different parts of the video and audio. As for where I got the audio, I made it using a Q25 midi piano, a small keyboard about an octave wide, to the computer and found the perfect sound effect for the emotion I was trying to convey. For what I learnt, everything I just said and did.

The project I made was a quest game where you can discover new areas with a character. I used different sprites and tools to make the character move into a new location on the map. My favorite part of the project was making the village and character into a retro theme. If they had sprites that could make the character attack, I would have made it a fighting type of game. Overall, I really had fun with this project compared to the others I did!

My project focused on learning the ins and outs of Blender, a 3D creation software, and showcasing my newfound knowledge by creating a realistic 3D donut. This donut was complete with frosting, sprinkles, and a customized backdrop! Since the tutorial itself was so fine-tuned, this project has allowed me to gain more confidence in my 3D modeling skills and I hope to do similar projects like it in the future. My favorite part would have to be making the sprinkles, especially customizing the star ones. Originally my plan was to create Dragon Ball Z themed donuts, but they ended up looking more Christmas-y instead, so I just ran with it.
Hudson
My project is an edited picture that contains 4 different images of fictional scenarios in which I have placed myself in. One of the Images has me trapped in the dessert, another stranded in space, another trapped under water, and the last one has me adrift in swamplands. The tools within Photo Shop I used to edit this project include; the quick selection tool, the selection brush tool, the horizontal type tool, the crop tool, and generative AI. I further learned and gained experience using these tools and photoshop through this project.

Learning JavaScript: My Journey
Progress:
- Achieved a beginner degree
- Working my way up to black belt
Insights on JavaScript
Time Consuming I discovered that JS can be one of the most time consuming projects.
Coding Projects It requires good grammar in coding moving from just inputting ones and zeros.
My Project
- I’m excited to share my Netflix project!
- It grabs API requests from websites.
- Downloads an image
but doesn't clear it after use.
I appreciate your support and hope you find my project interesting

i choose to create a poll on scratch where you would click on what your prefer and when you did the number under would go up. I was proud of what i did cause it literally took me like 2 months to code.
Judah
My project is a cheeseburger which I used blender to create. I spent a lot of time learning how to use different tools and methods inside of blender to make this burger. While it didn't take long to make the actual project itself, the learning process was the longest, taking me months to gain a small understanding of 3D modeling.
Fatjon
My project was to explore the multiverse through the use of Photoshop. I took 13 different images and I used photoshop to make my variances look like they are looking at each other from different realities. In the end, my project was created in Photoshop.
Utilized a variety of tools available on Photoshop.
More comfortable with putting items and characters in focus without the background in their image.
My process required me to organize my project in drawings first; I drew pictures where I wanted everything to go before I did it online.
The multiverse gives life to whichever decision is selected.
I improved each time I tried Move tool, quick selection, and the pencil tool in Photoshop.
I liked seeing my final project completed and in “real life”. I am proud of how it came out.

I worked on a 2D game in Godot. This is my first time coding, I didn't expect making a simple 2D game would be as hard as it was.
I learned a lot while making this project, i made it where you control a little space ship with the arrow keys while dodging meteors falling, you can use your lasers to blow up the meteors, i got stuck at some parts while making it but Rafael Raphaelle Ivan Medina Bureae Senices Guerrero Dilone Mota helped me. Coding the lasers and meteors was the hardest part. The game is uploaded on Itch.io. I really enjoyed the process of making the game and the end result.
Mateo
I worked on scratch. Scratch is fun and also kind of hard to learn it. It is a great way to code.
I learned how to make different games, for example ping pong and chase game. I used variables for the score, I learned how to control a sprite with arrow keys, and I made the dinosaur change colors. I added speech bubbles to some of the sprites. I added in code blocks to make these changes. I learned how to make a sound. I learned how to put different backgrounds. I learned how to change the size of the sprite. My favorite part of the project is the farting cat and when he says "hello i farted" and he farts when the taco touches him.
Ben D.
For my project I did photoshop. First I learned how to use photoshop. After learning all that I made my own Mona Lisa. I liked learning how to blend images together, although it was quite hard. I had to redo it a few times to get it how I wanted. But Moo Deng is the best part.😍
Madox
In my projected I learned the basics of the Godot engine in order to create a arcadey Asteroid look alike with music, sound effects, and more. My favorite part of the project was learning how to understand the code and how it interacts with the visual elements of game development.
Alice
A Spike ring, I've learned how to form different shapes within also using color weight. My favorite part of the project is exploring on how blender works.
Christian
I learned a lot more working ai generative imaging same thing as organizing images
