Semester B 13/03/2013 Workshop

As i am writing this i have uploaded two versions of my stop start animation, but what i have to present to you all is all the images i have taken to achieve what i have done and what i am doing. I have taken around about 123 images for my part of the production if you follow this link you will be able to see them. Animation Images

These are two versions of my animation, This it the file that contains the audio, i still have both rough copies that i can edit and fix if i need to, but for presentation purposes here they are.

Semester B Work In Progress

Finally completed the props, I am about to make a start on shooting the scenes. Here are the finished props cut out and scanned in (scanned in for the blog)

Work In Progress Part2- Almost Done

Almost done as in drawing and colouring the sets of course, i think i did quite a fair bit during last week's workshop, not much to say on what i want to do in this post since i have already covered it in last week's post, but after a afternoon of trying to fix my printer scanner here is my work.

I may make another backdrop or two, we'll see what'll happen during the workshop

Work Update-Props & Backdrop

These are the props and backdrop i have been working on within the past week, for reasons i don't understand my backdrop came out pretty bright when i scanned it in so i when into a photo editing application to darken it, when the time comes to photograph i might need to print off the darkened one if the camera picks up a bit too bright.

Here are the first four props i have been working on, the accordion which i plan on making it look like as if i was playing, prop #2 is a sign that shows that the accordion is very cheap (i am trying to make a humorous theme to my segment) and props #3 & #4 work together. I'll cut out all the props when i have everything ready, maybe i might need to make another backdrop for another scene. We'll see!

and this is one of the backdrops, i plan on making a office/indoors backdrop, just to even things up. Only because you don't often get offices out in the open in the middle of a field.

Finished Storyboards..What's Next?

Here are the completed drawings to my storyboard, some have been revisited and some are ideas to bounce off on the final project, for Wednesday 20th i plan on making a start on a set since i want to try out stop-start animation, they should be small sets since i am taking a few shots from my camera and recording eat move.

With Sketch 9, i plan on making the leg kick
For Sketch 2, i changed my mind and used a safe instead of a tone of money, it just looked better and it was more easy to draw.

Semester B- Drawings, i.e storyboards

First the rough ideas, i wanted to try and get the main images in my section

A few notes to explain what's happening in each section

Now i went back to the drawings and made them slightly more presentable

Semester B Project Style Ideas

Just researching and taking a look at other people's work and trying to get a good idea on what i could do for my side of the project. First i am taking a look at the animations on Vimeo and seeing what they have to offer, first i am taking a look at the 2D section of animation first i took a look at a animation called 5 second Project - Made of Paper it was exactly 5 Seconds and i thought it looked pretty cool, and me personally i am not the worlds greatest artist when it comes to drawing i thought something like this would work nicely but it all depends on when i hear the audio.

and something else on relation to this i also found a nice animation called Swing it's about a little girl who goes on a adventure on a swing, it is quite different to the 5 Second Project, i feel that this animation has more of a storybook feel to it.

Cellegratonia is another animation i found yet it is extremely different to the two previous projects i have posted, i have always wanted to start a stop-start animation, it may take time but it would be really cool to start something like this, i have no idea if i would need to build anything exactly but drawing, yes. I can pull something like this off.

That's just three style ideas that i would like to try out for this project.
