Project Hybrid 12/11/15

I have fixed the movement of the wings and the foreshortening of the body as my character jumps to dive. I also changed the arm movement when he jumps out of the water so he moves it up as appose to already being held up. I started on shot 11 and gave him a knee-bend as he lands. I should be able to finish off the in-betweens for shot 11 by tomorrow.

On a side note I also managed to finish all the mouth shapes, timing and doped out version of my Dialogue 3 assessment from last term. The flash file for it is saved in my server folder.

Dialogue Summative 08/09/2015

Started my clean up frames today and finished my timing chart 

Dialogue Summative 07/09/2015

Today I worked mostly on my timing chart and labeling frames and camera moves. I did do some touch ups on the character movement specifically the sword movement and changes to the background plus a blink of the eyes to make her look more natural. Tomorrow I will start adding in clean up frames for the keys and breakdowns.

Dialogue Summative 04/09/2015

Finished off all of the rough mouth shapes today and have basically finished all rough inbetweens. I just needed to finish off the movement of her sword. Also changed the eyebrows at the end to make her look more angry as she anticipates charging forward.

Dialogue Summative 03/09/2015

Today I started drawing all of the mouth shapes and started the inbetweens for the arm movements in the middle section. I should have all of the rough mouth shapes done by tomorrow.

Dialogue_Summative 02/09/2015

I have roughed out the whole animation. It starts off with a turn around of the whole scene till Cee is facing almost directly at the camera. She then bends down in her fighting pose and swipes her arms across herself, pulls out her sword and then charges forward. 

Dialogue_Summative 31/08/2015

This is my starting pose and iv started drawing the next pose. I have doped out the dialogue and know where I am going to have my most exaggerated poses based on that.

Layout and exposure sheet 24/08/2015

Started the linework layout for shot 4 today. Pretty much finished it already just need to draw in a few more trees and shrubs.

Subtle Acting Dialogue 3/08/15

The top photo are my key frames and breakdowns cleaned up which I have finished. the photo bellow is the first of my rough in-betweens.

Subtle Acting Dialogue 27/07/15

This is a start to my thumbnails and ideas for keyframes. I decided to add in a prop to this (a book) one to try it out

Martial Arts Dialogue 17/07/2015

Started rough inbetweening today, will stay late next week a few days next week as I have been busy this week.

I feel like I need to add in more or another angle for some shots but I cant really think of anything other than a shot from behind him which wont show his expressions well it would have to be all in the arm and body movements. It may change the look of it a lot once I put in a background though.

Martial Arts Dialogue 16/07/2015

These are my key frame thumbnails, im thinking that I will need to change some of them though. I want to add in another angle but I am unsure so I will talk about it with my tutors tomorrow. 

Martial Arts Dialogue 15/07/2015

 More ideas iv been working on for the short scene

Martial Arts Dialogue 14/07/2015

Started on my thumbnails - pretty much have an idea of what I want to do for each keyframe already.

Amazed 23/06/15

Today I worked on the rest of my panels adding in a bit of mouth and character movement. I am going to change the second to last panel of my animatic because I feel as though the angle and positioning dont fit that well. I will replace it with a close up on Thijs's face. On a side note I managed to complete my walk cycle too.

Amazed 18/06/15

Continued working on the shading and I finished off the character shading for the first three panels. I made a start today on the next set of panels showing them moving through the cave with the dialogue.
I did notice the error of the sconce moving higher in the last frame suddenly which I will correct.

Amazed 17/06/15

I added in a few more panels from the first of my shots to show the characters walking through the maze/dungeon. Also added Mina scratching her head for some variation but I will change this is it is unnecessary. Also added in some shading of the background and have yet to do the characters shading. On the next few shots I will zoom them out so that there arnt an overload of closeups mentioned before when the class watched the animatic

Amazed 12/06/15

Finished the rest of my rough panels today.

Amazed 11/06/15

Flipping my panels around because I drew each character on the wrong side. I am making som adjustments too in terms of character proportions and angles

Amazed 09/06/15

A few ideas iv roughed out. The dialogue starts at the second panel. I will get as many different versions roughed out of this as possible as my section doesn't seem to be very busy with actions or dialogue

Mystery House 05/06/15

I managed to finnish my 6 panels but I was planning on doing a few more to complete what I wanted to add to the story. I didnt manage to complete the shading in the first panel either. I think if i spent less time cleaning up the first few frames i could have added and extra 2 or 3 panels.

Mystery House 03/06/15

Have been working on these, my next few panels will reveal a chest within the room and a person rising from the shadows.

Working to a style - 22/05/2015

I have one frame left for my keys and breaks before i can start inbetweening. I also plan on adding some more effects like lighting during the powerup and muscles bulking up.

Working to a style - 21/05/2015

I finished off the powerfield cycle and started drawing frames for the character crouching down preparing to leap into the sky and fly off the page.

Working to a style - 20/05/2015

Decided to change the last 2 frames to make the angle the same instead of having him do a twist and powerup. This flows a lot better as an animation. I have started to animate the energy field around my character

Working to a style - 19/05/2015

My current animation is of my villain coming out of a fetal pose and swinging back into a powerup. I am also hoping to possibly have them then fly off into the sky if I can get this approved.

Working to a style - 14/05/2015

Today I started working on my storyboard for the 5 second animation the will be a powerup. Im thinking I might have the camera zoom in at the same time but i will have to see how it works out.

Working to a style - 13/05/2015

I have been working from reference images from Dragonball Z to get the hang of the style that they use, which emphasizes the use of anatomy, as the muscles are always obviously outlined and bulky.
This is also helping me to learn anatomy better as well as learning the stlye of drawing used for the show.  

Storyboard 2 - 1/5/15

Working on my storyboards, still need to finish a lot more but will work on these on the weekend if i can

Animation Principles 3 - 24/4/15

I was intending to finish off this animation this week but I was more busy than I expected to be

I will finish this off as soon as I can, im working Tuesday night but I will stay late on Wednesday night to finish it off.

For now though I thought I would submit a file of what I have accomplished so far as WIP to give you an idea of where I am up to

I couldnt get adobe media encoder to work correctly so I have just put in the flash file for now

Animation Principles 3 - 17/4/15

I have basically finished all of the breakdowns and keys for this animation as well as inbetweens, but i still need to animate the tail and the hair on a seprate layer which I will be able to get done on Monday next week. I also still need to do my critical analysis which I can finish on Monday too

Animation Principles 3 - 13/4/15

Finished all the roughs for my keys and breaks today, just started to work on adding in all the details and also starting on the in-betweens.

Animation Principles 3 - 10/4/15

Continued to work on my existing frames, correcting the size of the shoes on each frame and also the proportions of the legs and arms so that everything on each frame is the the same size relative to each other.

Animation Principles 3 - 9/4/15

Today I worked on getting the arcs correct for the walking movement and also readjusting the size of the shoes on each frame to make sure it doesnt change size at all.

Animation Principles 3 - 8/4/15

Added in more frames today, still need to change the movement of the arms swinging before I can add in any details

Animation Principles 3 - 7/4/15

Started on my first contact key for the walk cycle animation today

Animation Principles 2 - 2/4/15

Finished my backgroun for the animation and all inbetweens. All I need to do is render it and submit.

Cleaning up my roughs.

Animation principles 2 - 30/03
