Animation Studio

I feel as though my skills in all areas throughout this module have improved and I have learned new things along the way that have helped make me more confident in the animating process. Character design was my favourite part of the module as I learned so many new things about how to use basic […]

I am very proud of my final animation. I felt a little short on time near then end, however, I finished it with enough time to make corrections where needed, which was the most important thing to me. To create the headmistress’s poses, I made the poses myself in the mirror and watched how my […]

So far, I have completed 2 shots of my animation, both being 4 seconds each. Shot 1 took me longer than expected to finish as at that point I was still getting used to using Krita. Shot 2 took me around the same length of time to complete (around 2 days from start to finish) […]

This week our homework was to prepare a short presentation on our animation/blog progress. Last week during my one to one feedback tutorial with Sarah, she told me to include my storyboards and my progress with my animatic. I talked about my first storyboard versus my final storyboard and the feedback I was given to […]

This week, I had a one to one feedback tutorial with Sarah where we talked about my progress so far with by blog and animatic. I finished putting my animatic together for this session using Premier Pro. Sarah gave me some very useful advice on my animatic, both how to make it better, and how […]

This week, I finished the final draft of my storyboard and completed drawings for a rough animatic. After receiving more feedback on my storyboards, I decided to take more panels out. Now, instead of Fern standing up to the headmistress, she remains scared and backs out of frame before the zombie attacks the headmistress. The […]

This week I completed more storyboard drafts and used after effects for the first time to begin my animatic. After receiving feedback on my storyboards, I took away 2 unnecessary panels to make my animation a few seconds shorter and flipped panels 3-7 so the shots flowed better with the rest of the animation, keeping […]

This week, our homework was to create a storyboard for our animation and animate a flour sack character by using a pose-to-pose method. My 10-15 seconds of the animation is at the very end when Fern has realised what the headmistress has done to the headmaster. As karma, she is then touched by the mushroom […]

This week, our lecture was on the basics of animation and our homework was to animate 3 bouncing balls using Adobe Animate and to read chapter 4 of ‘The Animators Survival Kit’ by Richard Williams. I have used Adobe Animate before, so I found this exercise quite easy and very enjoyable. Through our lecture and […]

This week our homework was to fill 2 or more pages of different character design ideas, whilst considering the fundamentals covered over the past several weeks (shape, from, colour…). Along with our lecture this week covering this topic, I also found reading up on character design and looking for examples from different artist helped me […]
