For this project in a team we had to pick a voice recording and animate two characters mouthing the words. The idea was that the context of what was said would have been based on a news article or headline and what we choose to animate would extend this visually. To start of me and …

Moving forward I had to focus on animating features within my scene. Going of a quick critique I had wanted to include atmospheric lighting to make the scene feel more like its underwater: I added a plane with a specific water texture, I made a sun light which would shine through the texture. I made …

In creating the animatic itself I used 16:9 paper so that each frame is consistent, the main materials I used were marker and I had referenced my original environmental designs and mood board when choosing colours. I wanted to focus on the shading being able to enhance the atmosphere, with it being more airy and …

Beginning my process of putting together my cinema graphs and shots I decided to make a quick storyboard going of the idea of a flashback- like scenario, with the changes between night and day being shown as the shots progress: My plan with the story was that I would be taking photos, some scenes showing …
Based on my initial ideas and photo tests I felt I would need a aesthetic to further emphasise the direction I wanted to go for. Not only did I want to showcase a flashback in my story I wanted to somehow show the past and to figure this out I would need to look at …
For this project we are tasked to describe ourselves in images, we can interpret this many ways but the main idea would be to create a short storyboard to then capture and shoot a cinema graph animatic. To understand and explore how I can interpret this I decided to make a mind map noting down …
To develop the model I decided to add my chosen colours into my scene, changing around a few so it would make sense such as the boat now being a dark brown instead of a pale yellow like in my colour tests. I played with perspective and depth by making objects further away appear lighter …

Using the basic synopsis idea and the character designs I went to create a simple idea for a 40’s story, baring in mind that it will be for an animatic. Above is the storyboard I had come up with. Knowing the animatic’s duration will be short I had to create a story which worked well …

Making more progress on my scene, using the sculpting skills I had learned in building the gecko model I included additional features to make the model match my original sketch. Using metaballs I created basic shapes to represent fish and using the brush tool I created a flag to go along with the boat. Whilst …

With this we practiced with sculpting tools and created a model using meta balls. Using references of a green gecko I blocked out the main body using mainly meta balls and ellipsoid shapes making up the basic shape of the gecko. Whilst making this model I had found it that it was easier to block …
