Pre-Production Animatic and character designs

This is the Animatic that I created during pre-production, I will be taking the final 90 seconds from it and animating, as the scenes are the most dynamic and will help showcase my animating skills the best.


In addition to this, here are the original concept designs for the character, that i will be using when creating the animation.

Relevence to the Industry and Technical Approaches

Disclaimer: Much of this was taken from the pre-production blog, found her, however, it has also been expanded upon with critical reflection.  I felt that it was important to reflect on my work, as well as take a look back at the studios and work that inspired me to create my animation, and see the relevance of my work to the industry that I am building a body of work to present to potential employers post-university. Studio Mir Studio Mir is a South Korean Animation company based in Seoul.  Among other works, the studio animated most of the American TV series  The Legend of Korra , the fourth season of  The Boondocks , the  Netflix  series  Voltron: Legendary Defender  and  Lego Elves: Secrets of Elvendale . They first came to my attention while watching the animated series The Legend of Korra. The visual style was incredibly appealing to me. the character had such an ability to leave an impression upon me. As such, I was captiva...

Conclusion and Critical Evaluation

Image
Were my practices appropriate and relevant to the Industry? As Mentioned previously, all the tools and methods employed, are all used in the current industry. While I didn't necessarily use all the most mainstream tools, and the tools were cross-compatible, so my skill-sets would be to. How could I work differently in the future? I believe that in order to become more efficient in my work in the future, will come in the form of my own knowledge and confidence in the subject matters at hand. I want to take the knowledge that I have taken from this course, and further them in the coming weeks and months so that I am as prepared to enter the industry as possible.  One aspect that I could improve on is my critical analysis and research of my production, specifically when it comes to animation and editing techniques. While my knowledge in form, and anatomy and the principles of animation are apparent, it was the editing, and knowledge of programs capabilities that truly hel...

Week 12

Image
The majority of this week was spent painting and adding backgrounds to around half of the animation sequences, in addition to the shading. This actually took less time than I anticipated. That being said it still took a long time overall. For the backgrounds I used Worcester as inspiration, I went to the city centre and took a bunch of reference photos from which to create under-painting for, I also made sure to make the colour palette of the city far more purple to make the aesthetic that was designed during pre-production. In total I there was 28 different backgrounds painted.  Below are the segments of animation composited with the background. I made sure to also include ambient lighting that would come from powers and lasers, and also make sure to add drop shadows so that the characters were not just floating in the frame, but instead feel like they are in fact part of the environment.  Note tha...
