to create the gifs I took scenes from the movie which I cut out on Adobe Photoshop, then I cut the movie into tiny scenes which I found interesting I then converted the video into frames using the option on PhotoShop, Then I added a text in the frames that I felt were suitable. In The gif captioned 80s graphics inspired gif, I cut out an illustration that I referenced an idea from from the costume designer of the Ender’s Game movie then I cut out the background and I cut out the PNG and I put it on the gif to show the first Formic invasion. For the trailer I cut out parts from the movie I thought compelling and I chose a sci-fi theme song that I found on YouTube. After referencing the original book covers of the enders game book series I decided to illustrate my own cover after referencing a picture of ender raising his hands from the movie for my design. I chose to make him blonde with hazel eyes and pouty lips ,then I added appropriate book cover fonts and designs. Lastly I thought it would be interesting to imagine and design what the Formic planet would looks like. To achieve this I Referenced pictures of termite nests and edited the images. then took PNGs I found online which I feel is related to my theme then mixed and matched it to arrive at my image.
Ender is a slight fragile teenager with the expanding mind of a genius. His brother, the brute jock, is violent and only sees through strength and brutality. His sister the kind and compassionate one sees only through an affected sense of contact. Ender is a third child in a population overloaded world that is reeling from the previous war with the alien race of insectivorous beings who work and behave like the ants nest, the Formics. Having been brought in to being by loving parents who gained permission for his birth, Ender feels he is not only unwanted but excess baggage to the world. However, his mind is his strength. He is gifted with the ability to become his aggressor and think like his aggressor thus giving him the key to the aggressor as he learns to love them through their frailty - using this to exploit them and thus destroy them. This ability is seen by those old men solidified in their ways, who have no flexibility in their thinking anymore, and exploit Ender to achieve their own ends. But at what cost, and to whom?
I thought it would be interesting to create art on photoshop with a concept of mty choosing. i choose Laplace's concept because I wanted to work and create an image that didn't have as many interpretations and remakes. "We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at any given moment knew all of the forces that animate nature and the mutual positions of the beings that compose it, if this intellect were vast enough to submit the data to analysis, could condense into a single formula the movement of the greatest bodies of the universe and that of the lightest atom; for such an intellect nothing could be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes." — Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace hopefully this quote explains the intellect and creature that is referred to as Laplace's demon. I took a photograph of my self and pictures from NASA of
I made a short animation on the program Adobe animation also known as Flash. I started with basic shapes like circles and rectangles to make a classic Robot. As I was making the robot I used the convert to symbol tool so every time I had to move the robot, it would move consistently. Then I created two shapes for the eyes. I made a short animation so it would move separately from the robot. To make the robot move, I placed it in different frames. It was moving in a “stop motion” way so to finish it and smooth, I made use of the create classic tween tool, so it would feel more natural.
