2D Animation Reflective Statement

Although I think this was the weakest element from the lessons I still feel like I have grown a lot from learning 2D animation and timing animation to create an effective piece. Compared to Maya, I feel that I struggled with 2D Animation due to time, as I didn't put as much care into my animation due to my focus around other work in the course, which is why I'm not as happy with the work as I wish I was and if I had more time I would of have loved to spend more time perfecting my pieces and make them look nicer so I could learn more from them. Learning the walk cycle and squash and stretch was very helpful when working on some of my other projects in Maya and especially in Fantastic Voyage when I decided to do rigging and skinning, I feel that I understand more about timing and paying more attention to the smaller aspects of movement when animating, as well as when lip syncing to adapt the moments to the situation and the conversation to make it feel more realistic. I think I would like to become better with 2D animation and make my work more appealing than what I have made in this year.

Sound Experiment 04

 Today I decided to record some more natural sounds, this time seeing how the sound of wind would sound through a window before I recorded it outside, as I think the slight whistling noise through the window would make it sound more interesting, I am planning on collecting more natural sounds, but I wanted to see how it would sound before I progressed onwards in case the background noise was too much in comparison to the wind and ruined it.  For the second sound for my second image, I wanted to continue to find something more sharper so I tried to record the sound of cactus spikes, particularly if I ran my fingers through it, as it makes a very sharp, high pitched sound that I think could work better, especially if I could replicate the sound to reflect the more smaller portions of the image.  Lastly I wanted to try and collect a more electronic sound for image one, to match its sharp, electric colours so I wanted to start by recording a microwave, as I thought is humming noi

Premise: Room Design and Development

Image
After finally deciding on a character design for the lead in my story, I decided to take that design and explore I will approach the environment where the story will be set. I wanted to look at making the room look very dull and also mismatched and dated to suit the juxtaposing feeling it has against Drew and how they feel being within the environment and how it feeds into their feeling of loneliness. I want ed to have an obvious focus toward the room looking old and not suited for Drew by looking at dated carpets and duvet designs to show how ill suited the room if for them, so I mainly focused on 50's patterned and designs. I also wanted to explore how I could structure the bed before finally comparing how I wanted the room to look colour wise. I am struggling to decide whether the rom looks good or bad against all the unflattering colours and designs, and as well which room conveys the idea I had for it the most effectively (e.g it previously being a young girls ro
