Week 12 was the big final push, everything needed to be in, in this week, I managed to complete all of the logo animations:
And also finish my own animation:
The animation process for the first scene was the biggest hindrance, it took me a good chunk of the week, as I went back and forth on what it was I wanted in the animation, and I eventually settled on cutting half of the walk cycle, due to not only time constraints, but also due to how much time my animation was, with me realising during the animation process that my own animation was the longest, this could be due to the number of shots in mine, due to the complexity of the story in mine, or due to my lack of timing skills, If it is the latter, then I hope to improve them come next semester.
The whole animation was made in Krita, with some scenes being made in After effects, I was able to use a programme I was unfamiliar with and a programme I had just recently learnt, as well as Adobe Premiere, a programme I use a lot, in and out of class time.
In concussion to this semester:
I enjoyed it! And whilst I found 2D animation difficult, I feel as though with more practice and help from my tutors and a lot more studying, I could produce a higher quality animation using just my drawing tablet and the software, the software still being new to me, as I’ve yet to learn all of its effects that can help artists out, but I do hope to practice them in due time.
