I learned a lot this semester and generally feel like I have improved majorly in many areas with my body of work. For example, prior to this assignment, I was not aware of the terminology used in the animation department, such as frames, in-betweens, and arcs- these were all very new to me at theContinue reading FINAL ANIMATION & EVALUATION
Below is my visual documentation in regard to my eye transition idea being finalised. I decided that using the background of my main animation and lowering the opacity would provide a good guide to where I would draw. This plan worked out reasonably well and I was able to learn a few things from importingContinue reading Eye transition progress photos and evaluation of effect
Ricardo Cavolo is a Spanish illustrator who has worked in various art forms over the past decade. His work has been fluid in the form of books, tattoos, clothing and most profoundly, his murals. The reason I which I like his artwork is due to its striking and compelling visuals. His style is simple butContinue reading Artist Research: Ricardo Cavolo
Recently, I have been thinking that I wanted to include something extra into my animation. I felt that because the character is reacting to something in fear, that it would make much more sense to include into the animation the thing he is reacting to. Below is a quick sketch of what my idea isContinue reading New transition idea
This week, we were required to do a presentation finalizing our theme, outcome, and processes as a group. Below, I have posted the part that I contributed to. In this slide, I talked about how our group decided that it would be best to head towards more simple character designs to make it easier forContinue reading WEEK 12: PRESENTATIONS & ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSION INFO
Lately, I have been working on my usage of colour for my animation. Below, I have coloured the run sequence shown in my last post and my plan is to now experiment what works best together. To ensure that the colour palette stays consistent in my final animation, I will next bring these drawings ontoContinue reading Sorting out colour palettes
This week, we were split into individual time slots for tutorials. As shown below, my time was at 11pm with Patricia, however, I was not able to attend this class due to health-related reasons. Instead, Patricia and I organized a time outside of class for them to give me feedback. This was done through emailContinue reading WEEK 11: ONE TO ONE FEEDBACK TUTORIALS & ANIMATING 2D EFFECTS
Below, I have taken some screenshots of my background progress. Whilst designing my background, I found it relatively difficult to keep the layers separate (e.g. objects belonging to the foreground, midground and background). As I plan to bring this file into after effects, I do need to be prepared to move these sections at differentContinue reading Background Progress for Animation
Below, I have examined the styles of three animations that I am currently heavily inspired by. Here I have noted down what stands out the most to me, the majority of these notes being based upon the style of the animations. I feel that this has given me a lot to think about on termsContinue reading Animation influences
