Detailing my experiences with BDes Animation
Over these past couple of weeks, I have dedicated a majority of my time to polishing my animation for the submission date. One of the biggest overhauls was the background, where I received feedback to allow light to shine through the trees, as that is what actually happens in real life with even dense forests.Continue reading Week 11, 12 & 13 [Final Animation and Self-Reflection]
This time, I was focused on making the animatic based on the storyboard for the Bioluminescent world animation.

The first task was to redraw one of our previously drawn black and white thumbnails and integrate a colour scheme/combination. I chose to go with an analogous colour scheme consisting mainly of purple and blue, chosenContinue reading Week 4 [Colour]

With further refinement of the plot and characters for our bioluminescent world, I did my best to focus on creating interesting shots that convey theContinue reading Week 3 [Tone/Value]
This week, we had to study backgrounds from 3 different media properties and identify the perspective lines within the landscapes. We also had to create 12 thumbnail sketches for the group project we are working on, which consists of creating a detailed and thought out world premise and engaging story that will take place inContinue reading Week 2 [Composition & Perspective]
