With the pressure of starting a new semester and diving further into a software that was new to me, as well as having to manage several group projects and the new criteria they brought, I tried to keep in mind the previous modules’ feedback. By adapting to some time management resources for my study, IContinue reading Animated Narratives- Reflection
Adding finishing touches to the animation For my part in the animation, as I had to integrate the other 3 characters, I started by animating the bread’s expressions in their individual files, so there would be no interference with the rest of the animation done in the file. I focused on ensuring that theContinue reading Animated Narratives- Post-production
Modelling The first try on modelling the bin, I started with making the head out of a circle which I rotated to have the area cut in a clean half, then again untill I had a quarter to work on with a mirror modifier. I tested the rotation of the jaw by having it separatedContinue reading Animated narratives- Pre-production
Ideation—- We put down around 17 ideas, the prompts varying from people’s experiences with food to food as anthropomorphic characters, exploring their point of view of the world. As we discussed points in each of the ideas we wrote down, we considered the weight of the story, genre, and complexity, observed from the examples fromContinue reading Animated Narratives- Pitch Development
The group began by gathering as many journals, essays, recorded talks, and books as possible to explore all the known topics from different authors’ perspectives. We separated the books between ourselves so that we could cover them all more efficiently. As we studied the papers we collected, we tried to connect and compare them toContinue reading Japanese Animation- Reflection

I explored different materials and applied them while creating a world of witches, both in group settings and during individual creative processes. In both groups I was part of, we were able to communicate andContinue reading Reflection
To compile the areas we had worked on during the project and analyse the progress made in each of them, we prepared a Powerpoint presentation to display the production of our full animatic. As I had imagined, one of the main feedbacks on my part was that it was too long which distorted the pacing ofContinue reading week 12 Presentation on progress
After getting some constructive criticism on my animatic from classmates, I checked back with the group to confirm our transition scenes aligned and our formats would be the same. During this time, I focused on making sure all past exercises had been finished and that I had updated the information in the blog. The feedback on theContinue reading week 10-11 Line clean up and colouring
Although I chose to use Clip Studio for my work, Krita was a great tool to learn to use as each of the tools has a simple and concise interface. Using the Storyboarded app, I exported each image into clip studio to be sketched over and used as reference. I used them as keyframes toContinue reading week 9 Animatic
