Whose presentation did you like the best - please explain in a paragraph why.?
My favorite had to be Anthony timbols. The mojority of the class used the original blue formatt for the game. Anthony used a creative green and doffrent links.

Child killer ( Halo Murder Case)
In October of 2007 A teenage boy by the name Daniel Petric Got hold of his fathers hand gun and shot his father and mother. His father was fortunate to live through this disaster but his mother wast so fortunate. Daniel was a ticking bomb he just needed a fuse and a flame to light that fuse. The fuse that ended up building Daniel's rage was a first person's shooter games called Halo3. In the early weeks leading up to the killings Daniel snuck out of his window and bought the Halo3 video game. When he returned home with the game his mother and father caught him with the game and took it from him. Weeks later Daniel got his father key where Daniels game was locked aside with a 9mm handgun. Daniel unlocked three distinct items his game,a handgun and a way to seek personal vendetta. Few Weeks later Daniel sneaked into his parents bedroom and shot his mother and father. After his action he tried to stage the murder to look like a suicide killing and fled the scene with nothing but his copy of Halo3. The prosecutor sated that the Halo3 game left Daniel mentally damaged. One person said that because of the theme of the game that left Daniel disturbed he didn't know upon killing his parents that he didn't know that his parents would be gone forever. Now you asked me what I believe in. Is it mentally or enviormentally that would drive children such as Daniel to kill? Well I believe that its both. That we are all assigned a fiat at birth. Either assigned a dark path with a dead end or bright path with a life long journey. I also believe that its also envioementally. Its almost in some way like the saying " you are what you eat". You are whats around you and whats instilled in you. Either you are brought up to be the best and most honest man or women you can be or you are brought up to feel no pain or regret. In some way we are all a reflection of Jackal & Hyde a man who rages war against his good side and his evil side. Most of us either choose to be good or are Lucky enough to be give the side of good. Once in a blue moon there are some who choose to be evil or are unfortunate to be give the dark side of evil. Its a personal fight we all rage but like in war there's a loser and a winner along with casualties. The best thing we can do is to know what side we fight for.

Tech project NjN (Technical Disrector)
Technical Director- is a common job title in computer animation and visual effects companies. Some companies use the title "TD" for several different jobs:
Lighting TD- Is responsible for lighting and rendering 3D scenes
Character TD- Is responsible for rigging a character with a skeleton, clothing, hair, and deformation controls.
Shared TD- Is responsible for writing and adjusting shade’s to determine the appearance of models, and prepare objects to be painted by the texture painters.
TD are involved with modeling and in early stages of productions in addition to effects animation or Pipeline TD is the developer architect that links all the building in the early stages in designing the building. Even though there’s many meanings to TD if someone doesn’t specify then it’s just lighting and rendering.
TD positions require a balance of artistic sensibilities, technical savvy, a fresh eye, and good problem-solving skills for the many complication that come with the role. A few TD's are programmers, but most are not. Many TD's know how to write scripts in different scripting languages, such as MEL, Tcl, Perl, or Python. Almost all TD's are able to work with different operating systems, including being proficient with common UNIX shell commands. Among the TD's that have scripting or programming skills that very with different projects , most spend their time working on specific characters or shots, and only doing scripting or programming when needed to speed up their work or solve a production problem.
The work that many TD's do in lighting and rendering is similar to the work of the "Director of Photography" (or DP) in live-action film production. If not , the name TD can be a bit misleading, and some studios don't even use the meaning. At some companies, the person lighting a shot would be called a Lighting Animator or simply a Lighter, instead of a Lighting TD. People rigging characters are sometimes called a Rigger, Puppeteer, Physiquer, Technical Animator, or other titles instead of Character TD. Because of this, some companies will never list a help-wanted ad for TD's. A TD by any other name is still a TD, though, and they still need to hire people with similar skills for any computer graphics production.
Though there’s not a huge list of responsibilities a TD must make sure that lighting, character, and 3D renderings all blend in together to make a good shot that either still or live actions but in most cases live action.
Average income- 86,000 a year
Education- 5 year Bachelors of Science degree
Some attractive aspects of TD’s are that you get the opportunity to work on a lot of challenging projects, all to make a great scene in a movie or show. Of course there will be negative and attractive aspects to the job. The negative aspects are that you have to work on a single project for extended periods of time due the precision work. The attractive aspect is that you are given the oppertunities to become very creative and to use many elements to make a great scene.
