When I look back on this module I can say definitely that I have learnt so much about animation. When I started this course I wanted to learn and develop on my strengths and I firmly believe I have. While studying the Animated Narratives module I have learnt how to properly analyse animated features, andContinue reading Reflection on Module and first year with Ulster University
Early in the module, in week two, I learnt about perspective and rule of thirds. The rule of thirds has helped me set my scenes and know where exactly to place certain assets within those scenes. The perspective also helped me in creating backgrounds that showed depth and realism. In week seven I learnt aboutContinue reading Coursework 1: Design a World 500 word reflection blog
Since my last blog post, I have added the rest of the colour to each scene. I had also tidied up a few scenes to help with continuity throughout and just to add a little more detail. I am very happy with how the animation has turned out and I think it runs smoothly. I’mContinue reading Week 12 Completed Animation
This is my progress so far with my animation. I have the character and movement line work done, which I am very happy with at the moment. The final scene has been changed since the last update post. During my one-to-one progress assessment with a lecturer, he advised changing the last scene to make itContinue reading Week 11 – Animation Progress
After the creation of the animatic, it was time to take that as a template for my final animation. I had discussed the scenes of my animatic with other group members and we agreed it was suitable for the animation. To start off, I first did a rough line work on Krita for the wholeContinue reading Week 10-Animating rough/first pass
This week I took my story board and turned it into an animatic using Krita. I had received some advice about changes I could make to my storyboard and some actions that would need added to show the direction of the story more clearly. I made those changes and implemented them into my animatic. InContinue reading Week 9- Animatics
This week, my group and I had made significant progress in designating everyone their parts for the animation. From there we were each able to storyboard our segments. My section details how the main character befriends one of the spirit animals, in this case the rabbit, and then follows the rabbit as it leads herContinue reading Week 8 – Storyboarding and Animating with forms
This week we would be learning about animation, in preparation for our group work on world building. I had the opportunity to use Adobe Animate to animate a bouncing ball, a bowling ball and a ping pong ball all falling. I wanted to demonstrate the weight of each ball in my animation by using squashContinue reading Week 7-Animation
For week 5 I came up with a few characters for the new group I was placed in. I was originally in the Sugar Prohibition Group, and now I am in the Angel Capitalist group. It has made character creation a little challenging as the world is completely different from my last world. The environments,Continue reading Week 5 – Character Creation
For week 4, we focused on the subject of colour. I worked on two colour exercises. These helped in understanding the use of colour and how the careful selection of certain colours can convey the mood and tone of a scene. For the first exercise, I chose one of my previous thumbnail studies of theContinue reading Week 4 – Colour
