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:
I did a rough animation of a little guy walking and used him to mess about with using 2D animated objects in combination with the 3D space in Blender. 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
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
After our groups were mixed up and we got into developing new ideas, our homework for this week was to create 6 more thumbnail studies and one in depth illustration, this time focusing on using tone and value. For these thumbnails, I got to explore vastly different environments to that of my previous group, rockyContinue reading Week 3: Tone & Value Homework (Design a World: Forest Society)
This week we changed groups so that we could be introduced to working on new ideas/concepts and get to know others in the class. Myself, Charlie and Charlotte were moved from Group 7 into Group 10, where their world idea was a forest society. In Group 10 we joined up with Ben Hawthorne and BenContinue reading Week 2 – Design A World – Moving from Group 7 to Group 10
On Tuesday 28th September our group got together after class to discuss more about our idea and try to narrow down and solidify some key concepts within it. Progression of our ideas on the whiteboard throughout our meeting on Tuesday: Miro board for our group’s idea made by Charlie, documents our first meeting andContinue reading Week 2 – Design A World Group 7 Meeting (28/09/2021)
Perspective Studies One point perspective used in this screenshot from the anime film Your Name. I also decided to do a trace over of the shapes used that make up the composition of this shot, to better figure out how it is used in animation and apply it to my own composition thumbnails as partContinue reading Week 2 – Composition & Perspective Homework + Character Sketches
In our first animation studio class, we were eventually split up into teams to start generating as many ideas as possible (aiming for 100 as a goal) for the Design a World assignment. Our first group was quite large with around 10-11 people, we all started writing up themes and ideas which and then startedContinue reading Week 1 – Design a World (Idea Generation + Research)
