My Portfolio

I was exploring the concept of storytelling with the idea of what motivates the characters' morality through the fields of animation. These are a series of story ideas I am developing.

Crow Animation

Week 16 Term Two

My team have met together on Monday to discuss how the animation is progressing nicely. Adrian had edited and synchronized the soundtrack with great difficulty. It is quite beautiful.

My teammates are down to three scenes to colour and sent over to Adrian to finish the final soundtrack. We should be able to finish the animation 'Guardian' soon.

I have handed in my Individual PDF and blog address on Blackboard and preparing to develop the Production Bible. I already sent in both Production and Post-Production onto the Google Drive to begin combining our work. Mine includes the crow scene development, storyboard, styles and character designs.

Week 15 Term Two

Charlotte has sent over the redesigned crow scenes of Shot 10 and Shot 14. The models are elegant. She has done them so easily because the animation is sound. The painting of the scenes was hard but simple. There had to be an extension for my team due to personal medical reasons. The deadline is now May 20th.

On Wednesday, Shot 2 should be uploaded on the Google Drive soon. AT the moment, I am finishing the PDF that documents my part in the post production stage.

The last piece of work was painting Shot 2 and the blinking crow in Shot 25 has been taken care of.

On Facebook, Mimi mentions she was in the final stages of the last scenes. Charlotte has  The two are doing a lot better as a team. Shannon is eager to have the scenes ready for the soundtrack editing.

For the moment, we are meeting up on Monday afternoon to discuss more on the project.

Week 14 Term Two

I have managed to finish painting my crow scenes. It took a while to correct the flaws in the designs. Now that the shots are done, I have uploaded the PSD files and video clips onto the Google Drive for my team to analyze. Charlotte is taking care of a few crow scenes and they are looking good. Shot 14 is of need of a background.

Everyone has to hand in their scenes before May 9th for the editing soundtrack.

Today, I am in class with my team. For my last task, I have to paint the crow in the remade scenes that Charlotte designed from my original shots.

Scene 20, 5, 25, 33, 21

Once they were done, I have uploaded them into the completed file in the Crow Stuff folder in the Google Drive.

Week 13 Term Two

The two rotoscoped scenes have finally been redesigned and are in the painting stage now. It was hard to reanimate the models but I managed to clarify them.

Today, I am going to ask Sultan more clearly about a reference for my application to MA Design. My team mates are almost beat, but we are almost finished painting our scenes.

Paul is impressed that the crow scenes are progressing nicely.

Charlotte helped me apply the crow feathers texture by adverting the lines and rubbing it out around the crow in the scenes.

Week 12 Term Two

Monday

After many days, I have finally finished animating and painting the crow on shot 2. It took a long time to analyze and match beak, eyes and body in the correct motion. I will begin the painting process on the next ten scenes. They should be ready soon for Shannon to put together in the final animation movie Guardian.

Thursday

I have shown shot 2 to my teammates and they seem to like the structure and animation. Paul has analyzed the scene and finds it quite adequate. I am glad because the scene is the hardest I have done. The colour scenes should be easier and quicker to finish now. 

Week 11 Term Two

Monday

Today, I have handed in two copies of my essay to Jane, including a digital version on Blackboard. Now I am working on three scenes to correct the flaws.

Thursday

Paul has informed me of the crow flaws in shot 2. I just need to work on the alignment of the crow's beak and eyes. So far, the backgrounds are 87% done. Shannon, Mimi and Charlotte are working so exceptionally hard despite medical conditions.
