Project 3: Final Project

In this project, we are to do an animation by using the script and voice over provided by the lecturers. 

fig 1.1; Identify sensitive scenes

The first step for this is to identify the sensitive scenes since people may get uncomfortable looking at these scenes. After that part is done, we are to do a mood board and style frames for it, below is ours: 

fig 1.2; Mood board and style frames; 

Our group browse through YouTube and provided some suggestions for which type of art style we should go for and then after much discussion and stuff, we have compiled the references all in the slide. 

fig 1.3; Script Break down and parts distribution;

After that, our group held a meeting to break down the script and distribute the pats to every and each members so they would know what to do. However, instead of like how other groups distribute the parts by giving roles such as someone who is responsible for doing illustrations, or for animating, our group distribute the parts by frames. Below is our parts distributions: 

Frame 1-3: Jolean
Frame 4-6: Chze Huang
Frame 7-9: Jo Min
Frame 10-12: Kah Man (Carmen)
Frame 13-15: Evaleez
Frame 16-18: Huiwen (Ashley)
Frame 19-21: Britney

fig 1.6; Doing the sketches in illustrator;

After doing the sketches and discuss about the frames that have the same elements among my teammates we then start to illustrate them in illustrator. Above is mine.

fig 1.8; Arranging and planning the animations1;

After finish illustrating it, I then start to arrange it in illustrator as well before moving it into After Effects, so that I wouldn't be confuse with the frames and stuff, I also divided the frames into 3 files for easy access and stuff. I also add a little more frame into it because I feel like it will be too little and when edit, it will be awkward if the frame is still the same for a long time.

After planning and arranging the animations and stuff, I then move the file from AI to AE, and start to animate it. 

fig 2.1; Adding sound effects;

After finish animating, I then start to add some sound effects. 

Final Outcome of Project 3: Final Project

FEEDBACK

Overall is good, can add some more sound effects. 

REFLECTION

For this project, sometimes I find it a bit difficult to follow the style that we have chosen, and plus, we have discuss a lot more stuff to stay consistent with out styles, for example, there are a few frames that used baby, a few frames that use hospital, calendar and stuff. Before we discuss, we have a lot of types of calendar, however, it was change after discussion with my groupmates. I find my groupmates to be quite talented in these and I'm always learning from them, so I think this is a very good experience for and I'm very grateful to have them as my groupmates. It was a bit hard animating it, because I'm always doubtful of the timing, and due to my limited skills and knowledge, there are a few parts I couldn't do according to what I want. In the end, I decide to go with something similar, even so, I still feel a bit disappointed. I hope I could improve myself in these aspects soon.

Fig 1.1; Reaper Test Game; sauce:  TDS Gamezone ; Although the graphic of this game does not feel as good as the other game in Gamezone. However, it is still nice as it uses simple shapes and design, the colors used in the game does not feel very out of place, the background also feels alright, but for my first time playing this game, I did not know about the environment of the game. Furthermore, the music chosen also able to fit in to the game itself. The story of the game is nice as there's a goal behind it. Due to the limitations the developer faces, there won't be more to the story. Moreover, the movement of the character is slightly "slippery" as it sometimes slipped even th...
