This video is a video I made in a class called E-Com.( if you don't know what E-com is then just check out my other blogs and it should explain everything.) The video is about How to print a Document,( Hence the name) The video was posted on my personal youtube channel make sure to check it out the link is right here (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTRq-1BSpiEBfWnxlpYW6TA/featured?view_as=subscriber).

REASON FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO

The reason we made this video is actually very funny. Basically a lot of people in our school don't know how to print anything on the computer I still don't know who to blame the teachers the parents or the people trying to print, either way people can just be so, whats the word, "Ignorant about every day things" that they don't know how to do something that computers are or at least were mainly used for.

Editing

The editing process was probably the most fun part of all of it. I don't know if it is just me but i've always loved editing videos its just a fun passion I have. one thing that did happened though is that the first day I forgot to save my stuff so i had to restart everything, But it was fine i remembered were everything was and i finished in like 20 minutes. so its all good.

ALL AND ALL I HAD A GREAT TIME MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!

    SO! i had to do... this... thing called career cruising. now let me tell you a little thing about career cruising. IT IS POSABLY... posa... poso-bleeee. NEVER MIND! lets just say it is one the the most boring things you will do in your life. it sucks. i mean it could be fun if you were talking with some one instead of a computer. ok, let me tell you what it is about witch the end result is the only thing that you should be happy about.

     basically it is were you take a test that is about 50 questions that ask you like how would you fell about loosing your wallet. NO KINDA YES. basically you chose your answers and then it tells you what you top 10 best jobs that would suit you. i have to talk about my experience on this and tell you what i got.


     my best score the one that i got for the best job for me was a vending machine clerk. it was so stupid i hate using vending machines, but if i am planning on living in japan so that would help with that i guess, but the point is is that the job system is stupid, but the funny thing is that the next one was film director and then lighting and audio expert. so i guess it worked?


I THINK THAT IT WAS A BUST AND IT SUCKED IT TOOK TO MUCH TIME AND THEN GAVE ME A BAD RESULT.

     In E-Com there are 4 different classes the first year then you can branch off to only do two of them. the classes are web design, graphic design, animation, and Video. Video is were the teach you to make videos like how to adjust lighting how to edit videos and how to make videos more appealing to the audience. Animation is were you make pictures move and make a movie or video out of pictures, drawing, or stop motion. Graphic Design is were you basically make things look good by drawing and creating very good looking pictures. Wed Design is were you create and manage a website.


     if i had to chose the two i get to do next year it would be animation and video. i like animation because your in control you can do what ever you want. its really fun too. the reason i like video is because i love creating videos and editing videos is difficult is really fun.



     The down side is that both theses things take time and resources. i really hope that these thing wont hold me up on being able to do these thing.

MY 3D HOUSE

AUSTINTOTHEN

This is my 3D house in a amazing thing called sketch up. basically your put into a flat world were you have to use drawing tules and make anything yo want in 3D. i loved this thing because i can build anything. this is very fun to mess around with often times i found myself building funny designs. it can be challenging getting the buttons to do what you want but in the end its worth it.

Ten Words Project

Austin Tothten

This is my ten words animation i made in E-Com as my first animation project this isn't my first and i wont be my last so stay tuned for more in the next upcoming years. As you can see i did not finish it i only have 8 i think idk but it was mainly just a project to get used to the  animation program that we are using and photoshop.

     I really like to do this stuff and i want to know what you want me to animate because im out of ideas and i could really use your help. if my teacher is reading this can you give me ideas of stuff to do at home. THX so much and see you all later take care.

Austin Tothens Life

    This is a blog that based around what my abridge day is like. So first I wake up and mat 4:15 every morning on week days, then I don't eat breakfast but I do poor on deodorant and brush my teeth if you were wondering. Ok were was I... OH Yeah I go to this thing called seminary. if you don't know what that is let me exsplane it, it's a Sunday school class before I go to highe school. After I finish my  seminary I head to my buss stop and wait for about 30 minutes. Bye the way my buss driver is the most amazing person I probably couldn't get through my day with out her.

     School... it's probably the only place louder then my house or a Deadmou5 concert. Yet it's one of the most chill places I've been to everyone there is great and when I say everyone I say my teachers. Don't get me ring there are amazing students but there is a reason that it's so loud. NO ONE EVER STOPS TALKING. I'm dead sierius. For example my Math teacher is by far one of my favorite teachers I've ever met I don't know how she does it. There are about 8 out of 20 kids in that class that don't understand English or at least all the words that have to do with being quiet. If my Math teacher Is reading this THANK YOU SO MUCH!! For not loosing it.

Hope you guys like this stuff, Ill post some more later see you. BYE!!!

Chalk is "EASY", Right?

Austin Tothen


This blog is the first real project we did in E-Com. Basically we had to make a chalk drawing in the courtyard of the school that, "Described" our, Personalities? We ended up drawing a Giant Potato with wings. I honestly don't know why, it just made seance.

Here are some Photos

This was a very interesting thing we did so i hope to see more projects like this one. 

MY Thoughts

     When i started this project my group and I had no idea what we were going to do, we went through so many ideas for this, first we had a music note with a circle around it in space but then we changed it about six times before we finally picked the giant potato with wings. The potato was an obvious thing we had to do i mean like, its its A POTATO!!!

     Any ways the wings were because we liked to be free to do things we want to do and the wings are a good example of FREEDOM. #Attack on Titan Wings of Freedom.

 We took a long time to find all the colors that wee needed even after what seemed like forever they didn't wave the colors we needed. BUT AFTER WE DID THE WHOLE THING IN THE RONG COLOR MY FRIEND COMES UP TO ME AND ASKS IF I NEEDED THE COLOR THAT WE SEARCHED FOR THAT WHOLE TIME!!! Please some one face palm for me.

(We didn't even get to use some of the colors in this picture)

    My Final Thoughts about this experience is that its better then being stuck in a classroom that i already know everything they are teaching me. Don't get me wrong i love learning its one of my favorite things but i think i love it to much because i do so much learning out side of school i don't learn much in school besides like math which is why it is one of my favorite subjects in school.

     Any ways hope to get some support on this blog and THANKS!!!
