MPI104 has been an interesting subject thus far. We have
learnt how to create a web presence and how to utilize it. We started this by
creating a Gmail account (regardless of whether or not we had one already) for
submitting our assignment and using it to create other accounts on pages such
as delicious, flikr and blogger. I have enjoyed this subject so far as it has
really helped me with my other subjects especially the VFX101 forum as we are
frequently required to upload our work onto different topics. I was skeptical about
creating a blogger account at first as I wasn’t entirely sure on how relevant
this would be, however, towards the end I have started to like the idea of
updating a blog whether it be just a random collection of thoughts or a themed
blog. In my case it is a themed blog on presenting an easily accessible site to
view (in my opinion) some of the best short films the animation industry has to
offer. It is still early days and I am sure I will continue to add to it.
Flikr proved to be an invaluable resource. Although we have
only been shown the fundamentals of what it can be used for, I still use it
frequently not only in MPI104 but in my other subjects as well. It is
interesting to look through all the images people have uploaded and you can
easily find anything you are interested in.
Delicious, although I personally feel is a bit outdated, has
also been quite useful in particular this subject. It has all the links and
urls to web addresses I am both interested in and ones I need to pass my
subjects. It is convenient to be able to quickly access other people’s blogs to
check up on their progress.
I have so far made 10 posts on my Blogger* most being links
to short films I feel need to be viewed by as many people as possible, have
changed its aesthetic look to be more personal, I have posted on other people’s
blogs*. In Delicious I have book marked 8 pages three of mine being of personal
interest mainly due to their layout, how useful they can be or just how
entertaining how entertaining*. On Flikr I have uploaded three images and a
video of my completed and submitted walk cycle*, links to some of my favorite
pictures and my Flikr stream will be provided below.
Overall, I have enjoyed this subject and thanks to my
lecturer Matt B, am no longer as web illiterate as I used to be J
