Welcome to my Animation Blog!
During Week 8 of our Animated Narratives Module, our group had continued to work on our models for our animation. We had not been able to complete everything for our agreed deadline so we pushed it back one week. I took the time as well to speed up production by creating the model for theContinue reading Week 8- Dust Bunnies Room Environment Model
In Week 8 during our Lecture for our Animated Narratives module, we continued work on more detailed rigging techniques, this time using a robot model to parent a model to a rig using empty shapes and vertex groups to get better animation quality. I found this lesson to be engaging and I was able toContinue reading Week 8- Robot Armature Rigging Practice
During Week 7 of our Animated Narratives module, I had taken the time to go over our groups previsualisation work and edit together the shots that I felt worked best for our final product that we would follow when working on the animation to our project. I took shots from Odhran, Abbi and my previsContinue reading Week 7- Final Previs Render
Adding onto the previous prop models post, creating the final model for the carpet was an interesting challenge for me. Since we had not covered hair particles in our lectures yet, I decided on a more solid modelling approach to the carpet fibres to give our animation a more cartoonish impression. My resulting idea wasContinue reading Week 7- Final Carpet Modelling Solution
During Week 7 of our Animated Narratives module, our group had moved on to creating prop models for the background of our Dust Bunnies animation. We had decided on roughly three props per person, and I assigned myself to work on the basement door, a desk lamp and the large carpet where a majority ofContinue reading Week 7- Dust Bunnies Prop Models
During Week 7 of our Animated Narratives module, I had decided to make a quick colour reference for our animation’s staging as our group had forgotten to create a palette earlier in the pre-production phase. My idea for the film’s palette is to use lighter toned colours that follow the primary colours of red, blueContinue reading Week 7- Dust Bunnies Staging Update + Background Colour Scheme Reference
During week 7 for our Animated Narratives module, our group re-evaluated on our current workflow and management of our project, which included assigning specific tasks for members to complete during the week to push production along, along with setting personal deadlines for us in two week increments for what we should have finished at certainContinue reading Week 7- Dust Bunny Test Rigging & Animation
For Week 6 of our Animated Narratives module, we were scheduled to give a Pre-Production Presentation to the lecturers, similar to the Pitch Presentation we had done a couple weeks prior. In this presentation we were instructed to include: Final Character Designs Environment Designs The Final Storyboard decided on by the group The Group Previsualisation Continue reading Week 6- Dust Bunnies Pre-Production Presentation Slides
During Week 6 for our Animated Narratives module, I continued to work on my version of our group’s previsualization for our 3D animation project. Below is the fully finished Previs video, edited together using Blender’s video editing feature. Once everyone in the group has finished their previsualisation, we shall go through and find the bestContinue reading Week 6- Completed Previsualisation
This is my 1000 word reflective blog post on Assignment 1 for our World of Animation Module. The assignment tasked us with working in groups of four to analyse a short film, which we would then do a small presentation for in front of the class. I was in Group 6 and was assigned theContinue reading DES 130- Assignment 1 Reflective Blog Post
