For week 11, I had a 30 minute session with Sarah about my work so far. At this stage I am struggling to get all my work completed as I’ve been working quite frequently. I managed to create my background for Sarah to see. She said that the work I had produced so far was great and to not get worried about my deadline. She loved the colours I used in my background and found it links to my groups theme well.
From my feedback I managed to completely finish my background by adding in the stairs for my character to run along.
I really love how this came out and think it’ll suit my scene perfectly. Below are some images I used for inspiration.
This week I also learned about animating 2D effects. After watching Sarah’s lecture I done some research into animating in this technique. Below are some YouTube videos I watched:
- Improving skills [“The basics of 2D FX animation” course] – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuhKV5CLLVk
- The Best 2D Smoke in After Effects – Animation Tutorial – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A1v2Vw4mNE
- Coloring & Lighting a 2D Animated Character – Super easy! – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvaxQpn2wYo
I find these videos useful and will more than likely help in future. Possibly over Christmas break I will practice some of these techniques.
