I have more experience and shorthand developed for drawing human figures and shots where the main character Amka has a focus are to a higher standard than the animal scenes. Unfortunately, I’m a perfectionist so I think everything could be improved in some way. I had more fun drawing those shots than those with theContinue reading Module Reflection – 500 words +10%
Final Animation: I unfortunately didn’t have much time to add in a background for the animation. I attempted to once the all the animation was cleaned up however, it would be a time-consuming task to implement a background for all shots. I realised later on that the environment in this scene would be dark andContinue reading Final Animation
For Week 12, groups were to record a presentation showcasing the animation project’s work in progress. This was my individual segment, showing my storyboard, animatic and some early roughs: Our groups full WIP presentation:
When doing the roughs for my animation, I didn’t work on the shots in chronological order. I started off with the shots I thought would be the easiest to get out of the way first. So while I have the roughs and progress presented in their final order here, I worked on these in differentContinue reading Week 10 – Animation Roughs & Progress
Making a animatic to figure out timing of my rough storyboard. First Pass I think there’s a few cuts that don’t work very well. And some of the pacing is also a bit off. Leaving some parts of the animatic a bit jarring. Currently the animatic sits at 18 seconds. I also want to addContinue reading Week 9 – Animatics & Secondary Actions

He’s got some popping but I thought it was ok for experimenting with. Animating the camera in 3D in combination with 2D objects works as IContinue reading Experimentation with 2D Animation in Blender
Storyboard written plan (paper and digital) for scene 4 + walrus/seal warm up sketch The original write up/description by Charlotte of my scene: The context/description of the scenes (3 & 5) that come before and after mine: Starting my storyboard, I was able to reference Jonathan’s completed storyboards and animatic (shown below) which was extremelyContinue reading Week 8 – Storyboarding & Animating with Forms
I’ve never animated in 2D before so I don’t have a preference for animating in any particular software. While I use Clip Studio Paint for drawing, I don’t think it’s very good for animation. I’ve heard good things about 2D animation in Blender and its potential for combining 2D with 3D which is cool, there’sContinue reading Week 7 – Animation Introduction
Moved from Group 10 – Moth Cult to Group 6 – Magical Academia w/ Amy, Mark, Michael and Jasmin Infected Mushroom people caused by coming into contact with polluted soil vs Humans learning magic to defeat them Infected Mushroom People sketches: Really rough starting point, I haven’t drawn characters in a little while, started rememberingContinue reading Week 5 – Character
Exercise 1: Using one of your thumbnails from previous weeks use one of the four colour schemes outlined to colour a simple environment MONOCHROMATIC (No cheating – No B+W) ANALOGOUS COMPLEMENTARY TRIADIC Monochromatic I felt going for a monochromatic palette would be the easiest and quickest to get started with. I chose my favourite thumbnailContinue reading Week 4 – Colour Theory
