Real of Hoax?

      This is my starting template and my real or hoax website. This was a very interesting project because I will be using that same template for many projects to come and it was good to be able to tweak the template into how I thought it looked its best. Now I created this template from scratch but I did not do it by myself I had some very handy help from Mr.Olson and an html website. One of the most difficult parts of this project was getting the colors to match. Another difficulty was putting the images in relevant space where they looked good. The next project, in my opinion will be much easier because I will already have the starting template. I can't wait to use this template again in my next project.

     This is my polything. On this project we focused on lighting. But making the actual polygon was the easiest part. I made a sphere then took cylinders and used boolean and difference which created the actual polygon. Then I moved onto the most essential part the lighting, I created an overhead light, a backlight, and a fill light. In the end it turned out very well.

Geoff Co. Space

    Geoff Co. travels to space! On this daring rescue mission Geoff Co. rocket ship is attempting to rescue a lonely astronaut on the moon. No one is quite sure how he got on the moon but we are sure Geoff Co. can get him off! The hardest part of this animation was definitely the break off stage when the rocketship got rid of its excess engines, the hardest part was the timing making everything look smooth. I created my animations then imported them into after effects and in after effects I had to time all of the movements to make it smooth. After all of that was done i rendered it out to make an awesome video!

Moving Scene



     This is my moving scene. The technique was first developed by Walt Disney and his team of animators. I first made my scene in  photoshop then put it into aftereffects then I made each layer move a little slower than the last one to give it a moving feeling.
The Plausible Impossible

      Gus Goose easily flipped over this mailbox which in the animation world seems plausible but if you tried this in the real world you definitely would break all of your fingers and I would laugh at you.
      Gus Goose is currently seeing a smell in this picture. It seems like this is possible because the smell is so strong but if you tried to see a smell in the real world I would laugh at you and call you names.
      No one is this fast to be a blur. I know I am pretty fast but not a blur and if I'm not a blur Gus Goose is definitely not a blur.
       There is no way this is possible he is shuffling a sandwich to eat it in about three seconds. I know this is not possible because I have tried it, many times. Even though in animation it looks possible its not just trust me on this one.

     Spaghetti cannot be made into a sock I know everyone wishes it could be and Gus Goose makes it look easy but its not possible.

My page
Geoff VanDeusen

     I am very proud of my page. But I missed a block day of class so it was hard to catch up, but i did and I think it looks great. The hardest part of the project was making the concrete image my background image and having my pictures and text stay within the image. It was the first time I had to use the Wrapper div which is used for the background image and making sure the text stays on the page. I also used a new css form I created a new text mate file which included all of my css needs. I used this new css form for my home page and my links page. 

     My cool background was a former concrete picture color corrected to look nice with my colors and my text so it makes a nice background. This background image is a result of a smaller picture put into four corners making a bigger picture, of course to had seems but i used my photoshop magic skills to remove the seems making it look really good on my page.

Fixed character

This is my updated version of my character. After a helpful critique my friends gave me a couple of fixes that I could make to fix my animation. He was slipping upward so I made it longer and I also put him in the middle of the sidewalk.

This is my character he is inspired by me but looks nothing like me because I am an awful drawer, but I'm improving. I love his blue sweatshirt because thats what i usually wear.


Making my legs was a lot harder than normal because they were human like and I and to use the starch tool to create bones so his legs did not look like noodles. Also in a design flaw I did not attach his feet to his legs are I had to pin his feet to his legs.




I further learned how to create keyframes easier. Also the starch tool will definitely come in handy later because I am sure that we will be crating more human like creatures. Another thing i learned how how to time each step of my character and also how to line him up with the sidewalk. One of my main difficulties was making his legs not look like noodles. If i could change anything i would not make him a human. But overall i fell he looks pretty good.

Business Worm

This is my business worm. This was by far the hardest animation project i have done so far. The finished product may look simple but the process was very tedious and there was a lot of tiny steps that made the project longer and harder.

Animation project 1


This is my first animation post. This is also the first animation project of my sophomore year. It was very fun but also difficult, because i had to get the ball bounce just right to make it look realistic. The video was also the most advanced thing i have done in animation and i am looking forward to doing more. My favorite part was definetly seeing the final product.

This is a color wheel i have just made for my web design class. I Made it using adobe illustrator, which was very easy because the tools i had to use were very user friendly, such as the polygon tool and the ellipse tool both were very easy. My teacher Mr. Olson did a very good job in teaching me how to make this color wheel. As you an see it has my logo in the center, I hope to use this logo in everything i create.



This is my logo I made in ninth grade. I made it for graphic design and i have been using it ever sense. I think it represents ,e I'm a very good way and I hope to put it into everything i make in Ecomm.
