MACHINIMA - THE PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF EXPLOSIONS ON POROSITY
THIS IS AN OBSERVATIONAL DOCUMENTRY THAT DEMONSTRATES THE EFFECTS OF EXPLOSION ON POROSITY. THE THREE MAIN ASPECTS OF THE MINI DOCUMENTRY ARE THE EFFECTS OF PHYSICS ON OBJECTS IN A REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT, THE EFFECTS OF EXPLOSIONS ON THESE OBJECTS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT AND THE REAL WORLD.
FIRSTLY I EXPERIMENTED WITH THE EFFECTS OF EXPLOSIONS IN A REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENT. THESE ARE VERY REALISTIC, WHICH I HAVE PUT DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS WHAT THE GAMES PURPOSE IS.
SECONDLY I EXPERIMENTED WITH THE PHYSICS OF THE GAME. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YO OVERLAY THE SAME OBJECTS REPEATEDLY? THE ANSWER IS DEMONSTRATED WITH THE BALLS AND LOGS. FIRSTLY EXPANSION, THEN GRAVITY.
THIRDLY I EXPERIMENTED WITH ROPES. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU ENABLED THE PHSYICS ON A BALL HANGING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOWN HALL STRUCTURE? I ENVISIONED THE ROPE WOULD WRAP AROUND THE STRUCTURE, ALOMST BECOMING TANGLED. THIS WAS FAR FROM THE CASE, AS THE ROPE DIDN'T REACT WITH OTHER OBJECTS, IT SIMPLY MERGERED WITH THEM.

WEEK 5 EXPERIMENT
In experimenting with sony vegas, i stumbled across a few problems. If i add uncompressed .avi files, the render time is substansially large, however, if converte the .avi filesand use the compressed version, the video stream does not show. I will need to experiment further with this. In terms of compiling video and music tracks to make an interesting documentry, Sony Vegas is quite an easy program to use with many useful tools.
WEEK 4 REFLECTION
For my machinima documentry i have decided to create an 'observational documentry'. I think for the purposes of creating a film on the Physical effects of explosions on porosity this is the most appropriate mode to use. porosity is defined as the mesure of void spaces in a material, in this case town hall station. Although it may have a solid struture, explosions within this structure can create a rather dramatic effect. The observational nature allows the audience to feel the effects and come to an understanding of what the combination of explosions and a porous structure can create.
WEEK 3 EXPERIMENTS
THE PHYSICS TEST : THE CLIP IS SHOWING WHAT HAPPENS IN A REAL WORLD ENVIRONMENT WHEN YOU LAY THE SAME OBJECT ON ITSELF REPEATEDLY AND ENABLE THE PHYSICS. iT SPLITS APART LIKE IT HAS CLONED ITSELF AND THEN GRAVITY TAKES HOLD OF THE OBJECTS.
THE BALL ROPES TEST: THIS CLIP DEMONSTARTES THE EFFECT THAT BALLS HANGING FROM THE PLATFROM HAVE WITH THE FORCE OF GUNFIRE APPLIED TO THEM.
THIS SECOND ROPES TEST WAS TRYING TO FIND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REAL-TIME ENVIRONMENTS AND REAL LIFE. THE EFFECT THAT A NEWTONS CRADLE HAS IN REAL-LIFE DOES NOT MIMIC ITSELF IN REAL-TIME.
THE EXPLOSIVES TEST: tHIS TEST SHOWS THE EFFECT THAT EXPLOSIVES HAVE ON STRUCTURES IN REAL-TIME. THE EFFECT ARE EXTREMELY REALISTIC.
THE ARRIVAL TEST: tHIS TEST WAS PURELY TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE GAME FOR AN EFFECTIVE ARRIVAL METHOD.
THE GRENADE TEST: THIS TEST SHOWS THE EFFECTS OF EXPLOSIVES VIEWED FROM THE PLATFROM.
PLATFROM TEST: THIS TEST DEMONSTRATES WHAT YOU CAN DO WTH OBJECTS. THIS WAS DOWN USING TRACK VIEW AND FLOWGRAPHS.
