For the last couple weeks in animation I have been working on a story animation. First I had to make plot line and create a character for my story. I decided to make it about a bee who runs into the window of a flower shop while trying to get to the flowers inside. Next I had to create a storyboard to show how all my shots would go together. Then I had to create sketches of my character and scan them into the computer, the image to the side is my fist sketch of my bee once I scared it into the computer. Once I had the sketches into the computer I used photoshop to make them look cleaner and to add color. Next, I create most of the elements of the backgrounds in photoshop. I made the flowers in illustrator and moved into photoshop, there is an image of the flowers to the side. Last I animated everything in After Effects using my new knowledge of arks and timing, walk cycles, multilayer, compositions, and ease in/ease out for keyframes.
Reflection
During this projects I learned how to put multiple compositions together in in after effects. I also improved my knowledge of the After Effect program in general. During this project I learned a lot about time management. Specifically how much time it takes to animate a short animation and make it run smoothly. If I redid this project I would add a body in the background of all the shots of the bees face. Also I would make the glass of the window more obvious. However, I would keep the plot line and structure of the animation the same. I will draw on my improved After Effects skills and on my new knowledge about animation time for my future projects. This project has helped me learn a lot about time management and After Effects.
The six shot system is a way to shoot photos so the viewer can easily understand what is going on in the pictures. It has six simple photos that you can take to provide an accurate depiction of the person, or subject, what they are doing, and how they feel about it. The first shot is a close up of the hands. This shows what he subject of the photos is doing. In this picture try to make the hands take up most of the screen. The second photo is a close up of the face. It shows how the subject feels about the task they are preforming. Try to get the full face in tis picture, not cutting off the top or bottom. The third photo is an over the shoulder shot. This shows what the person is doing from their perspective. Try to get some of their head and the object the are working on. The forth picture is a medium shot. It ties together what the subject is doing and what they are feeling. You sho...
Color psychology it how colors affect the brain and the mood that the color creates. Green represents fresh, clean, and natural. There are different color schemes, the color in each schemes compliment each other. To help learn about color phycology we made two color wheels and took inspiration from other color wheels. During this project I learned how to use basic tools in illustrator, and how to balance asking for help and working on your project. I would chose a different design for my color wheel but, I would use the same shades of colors. I will draw from the knowledge I now have of illustrator for later projects.
Summary The plausible impossible is where an event that would be impossible in real life is made to see plausible in the animated story. Walt Disney made a documentary over this topic showing lots of examples of the plausible impossible. Here are some of them. Examples While Donald duck is eating the doorbell rings. In real life a doorbell ringing would not cause your head to shake because it is just a sound. However in the animated world this is plausible because a doorbell can surprise a person and make them jump. Also the sound of the doorbell mirror the way Donalds' head moves. When Gus Goose shakes Donald Ducks had it shakes him up and down. This is impossible because someone can not lift another person up and down just by shaking their hand, gravity won't allow it. This is made plausible by the fact that some peoples hand shakes are very hard and can make you feel like you are shaking. Also Gus Goose is winds up for the hand shake to add momentum. He is als...
