Composition and sound effects done for my animation!!
Last week I finished the composition and syncing of effects for the Angry Little Elephant. This was pretty easy as Jay and I agreed to use the compositional ideas I had sent a couple of weeks earlier. All I needed to do was make all the sync points meet up and change some tempos and add a couple of 3/4 …
Working From Home, symbol animation isn’t as bad as I thought.
We now have a week off from classes to finish our folios for this semester and thank God I now have Flash at home! I generally work on the animation at night and so far I have animated all the movement, plus the title and the end credits, except for the opening scene which I have a second left to …
I HAVE MUSIC FOR MY ANIMATION!
I finally met Maddie in person today and she showed me her finished score that she handed in today. The music is fantastic! It has gone beyond all of my expectations. Maddie has really drawn inspiration from the ‘Black Books’ into theme and it sounds really seedy and cruisey which matches the feel of the characters perfectly. As you can …
I still have to many frames to draw and the end is drawing near!
I am still drawing in all of my frames, and Even though I have made a large dent there is still so much to do! Some of my scenes are animated on 2s and some are animated on 3s and it’s amazing the difference between the two methods. The 3s are a lot clunkier and the movement isn’t as fluid. …
Compose/animate
So Jay did like the compositions and he also liked the instrumentation I used of the three that I sent him.We thought it would be good to use one for the intro and the others for the actual animation and ending credits. Now i just have to find a way of linking them smoothly. I recently received an animatic file …
The Creative Process
So to come up with ideas for the animation I kept my preview program open so I could tab back and forth between ProTools, Kontak2 and the jpg image of the Angry Little Elephant.This way I could hear if the music I write represents the characters features. In the end I came up with three ideas that I feel represent …
It Never Ends!
There really isn’t much to report except for the fact that it took we two classes to draw and redraw 3 seconds of my animation…and that was just the rough sketches! This is going to be so fun! Despite the tedious nature of the animation process I am enjoying myself. (She says through gritted teeth). I finally had contact with …
Here we go!
Ok so Uni is getting a little crazy by now and there is a lot to hand in but, at the same time I’m going to get straight into this finally!! So It was a interesting morning the day we started the ComposeREanimate collaboration process. We got to see everyone’s compositions and animations as we sat there quietly paying attention …
Where do I start?
So much to animate, so little time. Hello again, so far nothing very exciting has happened. However, I have at least started to animate my story…..a little. The week before last we grabbed our story boards and made extremely rough animatics where you suss out the timing for the animation by playing one of the frames from your storyboard for …
It Has Begun
So I guess since this is my first post I better introduce myself…….more than what the profile says. My name is Con and this is basically my fist attempt at a ‘proper’ animation other than my awesome stick figure flip books that were all the rage in grade 3. The first time I ever used Flash was last year to …
