Animation Progress #2

Progress on the previously started scene:

Animation Progress #1

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." 

- Walt Disney 

Even though there was apparently no official class for today, I still sat down to finally start working on my animation.

After around four hours of work I got to this result:

Sketches and Ideas #2

After looking at my animatic, I still found (and am still finding) areas that I am unsatisfied with or areas I think I could improve upon. 

My first focus are the expressions of my character, since her emotions are quite important for my animation and for telling my story. 

Assignment 2: Animatic

My finished second assignment, the animatic.

 

(I nedded to upload the video to YouTube, since the file was apparently too big for blogger)

Assignment 1: Storyboard #2

Like I already alluded to in the last blog post regarding the storyboard, I decided to revise it. I tried to use more interesting shots as well as got rid of some of the shots entirely for a better flow of the scene. Most of the new ideas came to me when I was watching analysiss videos on YouTube, that specifically dealt with shot composition and animation.

Assignment 1: Logline, Treatment, and Character Design(s) #2

Due to the submission having to be ready, I decided to look over my logline and treatment once again and refine them.

Storyboard #1

"One of the main things I do is focus on ideas and what stories we decide to tell, but probably the biggest part of my job I'd say is working on storyboards."

- Craig McCracken

Before arriving at the final version of the storyboard I made multiple sketches to gather ideas and have a clear story structure, even visually.
