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 whichContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 12 – Personal Development Project

This week focused on camera movements, camera tracking and action/cutscenes. My learning allowed me to implement my previous learning on camera movements and camera tracking. This was useful as it allowed me to develop my 1st/3rd person perspective for video game characters. As a group we were able to transfer this learning to our gameContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 11

Learning this week focused on aftereffects where we learned about intro and outro animation. We also reviewed trigger animations which I was able to implement and transfer my previous learning. On reflection of this learning I felt I was able to implement this learning to the group project after the introductory cut scene. As IContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 10

This week focused again on rigging but on 2d rigs instead, we had a guest lecturer who spoke about 2d animation focusing on rubber hose animation. I learned how to create movement using fixed point joints and creating more rigid movements as opposed to floppy, bendy movements. While this learning is not suitable for myContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 9

The lecture this week focused on rigging models. Rigging is the creation of the skeleton of characters and organic models; rigging allows the animator to independently move elements of the skeleton. As my role within the team focused solely on 3d modelling, rigging was not an essential component of my work. On reflection this weekContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 8

This was the week of the group presentation, fortunately I was able to resolve the issues independently. I did this by uninstalling Maya, deleting Autodesk,  remaking an account, verifying my student id and reinstalling Maya. On examining discord the group asked me to compete a swamp shack and wanted a log cabin stylized the sameContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 7

During the tutorial review session the purpose of which was to check how I was getting on in the module and my learnings progression, I discussed my issues surrounding Maya, I was assured the matter would be resolved imminently this could not be done and was referred to tech support within the uni. I hadContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 6

I checked the discord app to review the progress of the group. I saw no one had been assigned sound design on seeing this. I felt it was an opportunity to finish sounds and present this to the group. On reflection I should have suggested this to the group I communicated with my tutors regardingContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 5

This week I researched sound design to do this, I sourced various YouTube tutorials to do this. I searched for those specifically on how to create music for video games. Level design music and transition music were of specific interest. I was aware how much it can affect user experience and how tempo and soundsContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 4

We were to add to the slides of the presentation as started in week one and two, I was unaware of this as I felt it was an optional component and as a result I did not contribute to the slide presentation. On reflection I would ensure I am aware of the components of theContinue reading Animation in the Creative Industry – Week 3
