This may be the toughest part of the year work wise. During this part I often had moments of self doubt and lack of confidence, which really hindered my ability to focus on animating. I had watched over and over some of the inspirations and references for my segment to get more comfortable with the […]
Week 12 – Informal Presentation
This week while trying to get through my animation, my group and I need to create a presentation showing our animatic/animations and what our storyboard progression looks like (here). I have been slowly trying to get through my animations but only one shot in particular I felt was developted enough to include into my animatic, […]
Animation final Storyboards
There was a good few versions of my storyboards. I think the trouble I kept encountering was over complicating the panels, and because of that the story wasn’t clear when read. So I kept asking for feedback from both the group and the tutors to see what they thought. First Draft: I was torn […]
week 11 – Animation References for Dark Magical Academia
I wanted to try and gather some video references that inspired ideas for my scene or a specific shot either sourced from existing media or my own video if I wanted something more simple and specific. The two shots that I wanted most reference and inspirations for was the student to monster transformation shot, and […]

Week 9 – Animatic Development
It took me a while to get into my animatic, I was a bit scared about the transition scene but after some advice from staff I felt much better about my approach. The main inspirations are from American werewolf and Van Helsing, both feature werewolf transitions but in very different ways. As long as I […]
Week 9 – Animatic Research and Reference
Although I really enjoyed doing the sack flour animations, I really struggled with the Animatics. I took a step back when trying to create it because I could feel I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to get timings right away and keep the drawings simple. I knew I needed more practice, examples […]
Flour Sack Animations
Using Alec’s tutorials as well as Aaron Blaise’s videos and more referencing from Richard William’s Animator’s Survival Kit, I felt excited to give my first flour sack animation a try. I was torn on what action to animate and I know the jumping action is popular and a useful one to practice. Although I saw […]
