Absent Minded Space Child Production Bible.

Final background unfinished design for my two minute (film non-coloured) 

Grad-assist rough animation.

Final Version of all my Advance Animation Skills Video (as much as I can finish).

This is my final version submission for VCD2501 Animation Practice and Creative Workshops: Year 2 (two- minute film).  FINAL FILM FOR DEFERAL DEADLINE

My overall thoughts on this project were particularly interesting, from originally planning the pitch to directing a team. At first I thought I was able to manage the workload when it come to producing a production bible as the director however, I should have communicated better with my team and gave the more role to help out with when it came to putting the bible together and as a result I ended up working pretty late for most days in order completely finish the production bible before hand in. Although I would not change my team as they really did help bring this to life, and I am glad to have them both.   

Continuing on with post-production, my team and I decided to change a few things with the story and with that we create a better narrative structure after showing the previous animatic to a couple of people and receive feedback to make the story more clearer. Once we agreed on the final outtake of our animatic we started pre-production and at this point we had more of a 3 minute film which then we decided each of us would have about a minute to animate, although, I felt we could have picked one minute from the rough animatic to animate instead of each picking a random scene to make a minute, that way it would have kept more consistent with who animated what part. 

Finally it came for us to meet composers and recruit them. At first we couldn’t decide who to pick and eventually we went with this amazing 8-bit style artist. We felt their style suited our animation quite well. They responded quickly which was great, we got to talking and explain what we needed, however, communication on their side die out and we couldn’t not get in contact with them for a while, luckily we sort it out with getting another composer who was glad to lend a hand and we were extremely happy with the result, it was a lot better then what we expected. 

To conclude, animating had become more difficult for me over the past few months, as my equipment started to become more and more faulty and I wasn’t able to replace it for a while. Although I am happy with the result of my scene, I definitely felt I can do a lot better with the animation and lineart.

new updated version of my finished quadrant walk cycle.  

Here is all of my Advance animation skill project (some incomplete) 

Storyboard, character design and background design

I experiment with taking photographs of plastic bags and bubble wrap (and others material) and edit a lot to have a interesting background design so that my character blended way in the film.

 the story: My group and I discuss and overall came up with a fun ridiculous  plot with the three images we had to represent in our film.

Obstacle animation project: these are my background/ character design as well as my planning, I was inspired with images like old antique living rooms. and I wanted to changed up my character from a bear to a cat and felt it was fitting for a scenery and the scenario, were the cat (milk) starts  to ruin the environment around her.

I wanted to redo my quadrant walk and run cycle so this is an incomplete version I’m working on.
