This module taught me A LOT. At the start, I was worried because I didn’t feel like I was creative enough and wouldn’t do as well as others in the class. The more we did in class, the more I started loving it (Aodhan and Sarah are definitely one of the reasons for this). The […]

Week 12 // Final Animation
This week we presented online. Seeing everyone’s animations so far was super cool and I was excited to see what everyone had came up with. When it came to my groups turn, we got feedback at the end; the feedback for me was to add a secondary action to the walk cycle for the girl […]
Week 10 + 11 // Animatics + Animation
This week for our task in class, we learnt how to clean up line art for animation and to colour it in! This is what mine looks like: After this, we got feedback on our animatics as a team. This was our whole animatic put together: This was my part: […]
Week 9 // Animatics
This week in class, we learnt more about animatics and how to use after effects! In class, we done an exercise where we were given files and had to animate them in after effects; I thought it looked super confusing at first but the more I done it, the easier it got! This is […]
Week 8 // Storyboard + WIP
This week, we focused on storyboards! To start of the class, we made a storyboard for a jumping flour sack. I found it a little difficult as I wanted to make my it look like the camera was panning at the end to make it loop, but it was harder than I thought and […]
Week 7 // Bouncing Ball + Team World
This week we learnt how to animate a ball bouncing! I was really excited to learn because the last time I tried to do this, it didn’t turn out so good :’D First we started with making a ball drop and adding squash and stretch to it! At the start I thought it was […]
Week 5 // Characters
This week, we focused on character design! Specifically, making character turnarounds, working on their expressions and a few bits of groupwork as it was our final week of groupwork before we could pick our own teams! The first exercise we done was to make a character reference sheet. I chose my mouse character that […]
Week 4 // Colour
This week we began learning colour! Colour was something I was super nervous to learn about as I felt like it’s so difficult to understand and put into practice unless you have experience. Watching the videos and listening to Sarah in class eased me A LOT. It made it a lot easier for me to […]
Week 3 // Tone and Value
In class this week, our first exercise was picking a prop from our world and using tone and value to shade it! At the start, I found this task difficult as I done line art and it made it look a little weird? But the more I kept shading and sketching I found it a […]
Week 2 // World Building ~ Composition and Perspective
In our class this week, our group spoke a little more about our idea for the world; we came up with ideas such as making our world into a multiverse where our five ideas are shown as TV channels and somehow there’s always a little piece of the guy who is watching the tv, in […]
