My New Animation

Pre-Production

The First thing I had to do when it came to making my animation was coming up with a story and drawing the idea on a storyboard. I used the storyboard to visually see what I had to put into my animation to make sense. I think he hardest part about that process was figuring out what my plot was going to be. I had not very many ideas but after thinking for a very long time I decided that I would animate a story about a ghost that cannot walk through walls.

Production

The production was the most difficult part after all. I animated each scene individually and I out it onto Adobe Premier in order to put all of my clips together. I decided to first draw all of my scenes and characters in photoshop which took about two days. Then I out the photoshop files into After effect. Animating all of the things took the rest of the time. I found it very difficult to work with the puppet pin tool when I was editing the part where the ghosts hit the wall. Other than that it went fairly smooth there are some parts where my shorts and of transport places suddenly but other than that it was okay.

Thoughts and Conclusions

Overall I think this project was okay. I did everything to the very best of my effort and even stayed after school some days. I think I could've made some transitions a bit smoother and I could've added background music. I also messed up a certain part of the ghosts body when I used the puppet pin tool. Other than that I liked this project and it was really fun to do.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi...

Final Blog

Our Final Project in e-Comm Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is w...

Multiplane Animation

Image
Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim...
