LAUAN503 - Final Animation

This is our final animation outcome for our LAUAN503

LAUAN503 - Study Task 5

For my final study task, I made an evaluation of my project.

LAUAN503 - Study Task 4

For this study task we were asked to make an 'art of-' book for our animation. For our 'Art of Fish Food' we used all the images and artworks we had and organised them precisely and made it easy to follow. We structured it into different categories to keep things consistent.





What went well:

- Plenty of content to keep things interesting.
- Well structured and clear.
- Clear contrast between pre-production and production work.

What to improve:

- Make more pre-production content, including a more formal and professional story board.

LAUAN503 - Study Task 3

For this study task we were instructed to research two topics based on our animation and create two 150 word articles on said topic. I decided to focus on the technologies, sustainability and aesthetics of 2D and 3D animation, and how both are used together to create something good.

Article 1



Article 2




What went well:

- Fair amount of research for a short amount of words.
- Well referenced with clear bibliography
- Organised and clear writing style.

What to improve:

- More in depth research on chosen topic.
- Choose a more diverse topic

LAUAN503 - Study Task 2

For this study task we were instructed to create a short lip sync animation and record our development. To start off I learned how to use after effects time remapping by doing a short test using the template given to me.








After this test I began drawing out different lip shapes using a reference in Clip Studio






After drawing enough shapes for each sound, I began organising them in a time line to fit the audio track I downloaded in TV Paint. This process took some time arranging the different shapes.



Once I was happy with the outcome, I exported it as an image sequence and then used Adobe Premiere to sync the audio and export it as an MP4



Here is the final product:






What went well?

- Well synced animation to audio
- Well organised filing and usage of different softwares

What to improve?

- Drawing of the lips.
- More in between frames

LAUAN503 - Weekly Blog

In the past week I have been focusing on my Astronaut Animation, CEO animation, and finalising the last background. I have also created some small animations with the City Establishing shot and altered the second background to look different.

Background Changes

                                                                              Before                                                                                                         
   

                 After                      

I made these changes in order to accommodate for the fish animation, which would be eating the various meteors of saturns ring.


CEO Scenes







I have made the line art, as well as the colouring for the animated scene. I did NOT animate the fish, however I did colour it in. Everything else in this scene is created by me, including the background.
Last week I did the sketch, so this is an update.

Astronaut Scenes




I have developed the astronaut scene by adding the fish in the reflective visor. I have edited it to make it zoom in and added the fish swimming to earth with the astronaut floating in space. I did NOT animate the fish, only coloured it. Everything else was created by me.

Cars Animation

For the city establishing shot, I have created a short animation of cars moving. I did this simply by key framing them to move across the road.



Final Background



This is the final background of the animation. I feel that I should have been more detailed and spent more time on it, but unfortunately I'm pressed for time. I should improve in the future by dividing my work time more equally.
