Animation Testing

Today, I watched two videos: Ratey the Math Cat and Atlantian Dodgeball. Ratey was funny in an annoying way. It was sort of corney, but that's what made it good. It would be perfect for posting on Youtube. One thing I would add would be a scene where they punch Ratey, or throw him out the door. Atlantian Dodgeball was unfinished. It was about two teams playing against each other. I think I would make it more of a tournament than just a match. With a scene where mascots are attacking each other.

Animation Testing

I tested The math cat cliep and atlantiean dodge ball. The math cat was funny. I thought it was funny because the people were also people you know. It also teaches you about rates easy. The atlantien dodge ball had cool graphics. And its something most people can relate to if they have played dodge ball. It was really funny at how Atlantise was lost.
One thing that could be better about the math cat was if it was turned back into a cartoon. It could try not to use the per part so much because thats more of an adult thing. Instead of the cat poping up in the back of the car it could be hit by it instead.
The atlantis dodge ball could be improved by making one of the teams human. Another thing is that the dodge balls could have like sharp spikes on them.

Animation Testing

Today I tested the video Dodgeball and the video Ratey the Mathcat. 3 great things about the Ratey the Mathcat video were that Ratey is funny and annoying, I liked the way Ratey would pop up in random places, and I liked how Ratey always had a reason to be there. 3 things I would improve about Ratey the Mathcat were that I would have Ratey explain how he got the rates he did, I also think that Ratey should ask the veiwer questions. Another thing I would improve is that Ratey would tell the other people in the scene about figuring out the rates. 3 great things about Dodgeball were the fact that the sport was dodgeball, and it was cool how each of the main characters had their own voice. I liked the way you got to see them playing dodgeball. I wold focus more on the players than the coaches. I would have the movie be more interactive like the characters would ask questions about the ratio. I would also give the players more indivualty. By that I mean not having so many of the same players.

Animation testing

Today in the studio I tested a PS3 game Lair and Burnout xbox 360. In lair I I like the gaphics a lot they are very good, I like how you could fly a dragon and fight with fire. I like how it was an arial game too. With Burnout I like how you go really fast in the cars, the graphics were really good, I like how i could choose which car I wanted and how Instead of trying to avoid other cars, you try to crash into them and I thought that that was really fun to crash in the cars and get points. In lair I thought that they could improve the flying handling. Make the story a little easier to follow along by telling you what to do ad make it easier to find the objective on where you are supposed to go. With the Xbox Burnout I think that the main thing is to work on the load times, they took a really long time. Also I was playing a certain type of mode in the game that was really fast to do but you had to reset everything to play again. You had to chose car course and everything all over I would improve it by making a "Play Again" function. Other than that I think that it was a good game.

animation testing

today we tested ratey the the math cat andatlantian dodgeball.
Atlantian Dodgeball was intresting it taught you about ratios in a catoonish way there was nothing i would change except the mouths moving when they will talk and the sea urchins losing and the balloogins win.the next video was ratey the math cat rate was funny and educational at the same time the only thing i would change is ratey being a cartoon and ratey sould have have series for example ratey the division cat and ratey the science cat.

animation testing

Today in the studio we looked at two animations. One was Ratey the math cat. I liked this one because it wasn't hard to understand and I also liked it because he popped up in random places. The puppet was also really cool. One thing that could be improved is that there was not much sound so it wasn't that exciting. We also viewed the Atlantis dodgeball one. I liked this one because it explained things pretty well and I liked the animation. I loved their names, the Sea Urchins And the Beluga whales. The only thing I would add is a few more characters because it was showing the same three over and over.

animation testing

the things that we tested where rady the math cat. we also tested atlantian dogeball.the best thing that was in rady th math cat was it had real chaterters such as the game developers. the other good thing that the animation had was it explayed every thing good. Rady had a real person charecteristic. The oter movie that we tested was a dogeball movi that explayend rates. the way that it expayend rates was by playing a dodgeball game.the other thing that i liked was the way the graphics where, the way the graphics where like a perefeational game like from sony.I liked how they used the brond casters. they looked so real. that was what I thought about the movies.

animation testing

i tested atlantian dodgeball, and ratey the math cat. In the atlantian dodgeball i liked the graphics, the characters, and how they taught wahat they were trying to teach. On ratey the math cat o liked how they came up with a cool way to show what they wanted to show, and the cat ratey, and last the way they were able to teach you something in a funny way. for atlantian dodgeball they could improve on the characters speaking, and the music could be a little bit better, and because at the end there was no sound so it killed the ending and the whole point of it. the last animation which was ratey and i think they could improve the speed of the show, and also the stuff that they talk about could be better, and last they could make it look much more real.

Animation testing

Today I tested Ratey the math cat and atlantean dodgeball.
Atlantean dodgeball: 1. The concept rocked because it was dodge ball in atlantis which is awesome.
2. The skill was awesome because it taught ratios which I do not personally need but other kids need.
3. I also liked the design of the the characters because I bought that they were from atlantis.

Things that need to be improved:
1. The sound for the anchors was off at one point.
2. The players all looked pretty much the same.
3. The mascot was wearing a speedo wich was wierd.
Ratey the Math Cat: 1. Ratey was old and ragged which was awesome.
2. The shower scene was cool because the acting was totally buyable.
3. I totally understand what rates are meow Things that need to be improved
1. I did not get the per joke until half way through the video
2. the market scene went on for a little bit too long
3. It would have been much better if it were cartoon animated.

animation testing

I tested Atlantian dodgeball and ratey the math cat.three good things about atlantian dodgeball are it taught me about ratios, it was really funy, and it gave really good explanations. three good things about ratey are it taught me about rates, it was funny, and it did a good job explaining. three things about both that i would chenge are some of the jokes, some of the ways they present it and the animals.but not Ratey. well maybe furrier

animaion testing

The animations that I tested today was Raty the Math Cat and Dodge Ball. Three things that I liked about Raty the Math Cat was that it was funny, Raty was annoying, and that he popped in in weird places. I liked these things beause it kept me interested in the animation. Three things I think they could improve on for Raty the Math Cat would be for them to have you interact with Raty, for Raty to explain how he got the rates, and have a little more humor in it. Three things that I liked about Dodge Ball was that it was based around dodge ball ( because I like dodge ball ), that it had to do with Atlantis, and that it looked like graphics you could make and not something totally computer animated. I liked this because it helped me relate to the game. Three things that could be improved upon for Dodge Ball is that -again- you interact more, it explained how the got the ratio, and that the characters didn't all look the same. These should be imroved upon because it helps give the animation personality and for the viewer to understand ratios better.

Animation testing

I watched Ratey the math cat and dodge ball.Ratey the math cat was funny and annoying, taught you about math, and the animations were good because they used green screens on some of the pictures. Dodge ball was cool, funny, and the graphics of the dodge ball game were amazing. I could improve the speed of the words that the people are saying on the Dodge ball show, make the people funnier in both, and make the graphics cooler in the Dodge Ball, make the Ratey video slides shorter and funnier.

Animating testing

Today I tested Ratey the Math Cat, and Atlantian Dodgeball. The three good things I though about Ratey was that really funny, and I though it gave really good examples of rates, I think that the way they used the examples allowed us to focus on the subject better. I thought the three good things about Atlantian Dodgeball were that it had good animations, and good example to demonstrate rates, and good comparisons between two numbers. The three things I would improve about Ratey would be to have better actors, a little more enthusiam and emotion by the oh so wonderful Ratey, and to give a little bit of a definition for rates. The three things I would change on Atlantian Dodgeball would be to give a better explanation of what a rate is, to explain why a rate is different than the difference between too numbers, and to explain why the dodgeball players were out for the whole game if they were only hit by rubber balls (in Egyption Dodgeball they were hit with rocks; resulting in death).

testing with the developers

Today we tested was ratey the math cat and the atlantian dodge ball. After that the devolpers gave us questions about we went over. Ratey the math cat was funny, more relistic, showed some information about ratios. After that i viewed doge ball. It showed diffrences and ratios like ratey the math cat. Some things the game devolpers could improve is the graphics in both things and the way they put information in the clips. The way they can improve them is shorten them and also make some longer. Like in ratey the matoh cat the shower scene was to long and the car was to short. In dodge ball it talked to much about the diffrence between the two teams.
