This week heavily involved researching for my individual project, I sourced audio files to use within the animation. I started my research with cartoons and video games as I thought this would provide excellent reference for the aims of my project. I sourced YuGiOh to get inspiration for the animation and source audio clips which could be animated. I sourced clips with fusion summoning, xyz summoning and synchro summoning.
After this I look at transformation sequences such as power rangers transformation and Kirby transformation sequence.

Once sourced, I began to test animations for the project using Kirby’s transformation and YuGiOh fusion transformations. After completing the animating tests I decided that this was not what I wanted to do, on reflection I realized this was too difficult to recreate and already created animation.
As a result I decided to research music such as the doom theme and heavy metal and death metal which I could then animate essentially anything for them. On reflection I was happy with this decision. I looked at animations that would potentially work well with the music audio files such as animated bands and I chose stick fights. On choosing stick fights I completed some tests involving understanding character movements and motion blurs of characters swinging objects and punching and understood how if you punch the ground with the stick figure it doesn’t look dramatic but if you punch the ground and momentum lines are displayed there is more emphasis on what is occurring within the scene.
