ROBOT BOY REFERENCES

Robot boy was a childhood cartoon and his design is so cool.

Props to his design team, I always wished I can have a robot like him.

PRINCIPALS RESEARCH #12- Miss Annity (2019), Crypt TV

SQUASH AND STRETCH: The legs stretch out and so do her hands.

ANTICIPATION: Looks down before showing legs, Miss Annity’s body convulses as the legs shoot out of her back.

FOLLOW THROUGH AND OVERLAPPING ACTION: The boy’s body hitting the floor as the other man forcefully pushes him to the ground with his foot- head whips backwards.

STAGING: Miss Annity falling to the ground ready to pounce- due to this, it is made clear to the audience that she is about to attack.

SLOW IN AND SLOW OUT: As Miss Annity slowly falls to the ground- during the fall it gets quicker but at the start and the end it is slow.

SECONDARY ACTION: The boy being pushed down, foot on his chest.

APPEAL: It is clear that Miss Annity is a spider- human hybrid before we are introduced to the spider legs, anatomy on the face.

Puppet Animation - Stop Motion

Week 17 (14/02/20)

After I had finished my walk cycle, I experimented with a couple ideas that I had for the character. Most were unsuccessful but I am quite happy with this one. I brought a prop flower hairpin just in case I needed it and came up with this idea. I wanted her to smell the flower, reminisce about something and then hold it close. It shows a softer side to her character than the confident and sassy walk in the previous animation. I had fun doing this and would love to experiment more.

After Effects Idea - Week 2

Today we were enlightened to our new project. The objective of this project is to create an animation short via After Effects, which would present two objects morphing into each other. The objects we would use would be selected from our chosen film (live action). The two objects should be able to advocate the title of the film with ease. We looked at some examples that demonstrated this both successfully and not so successfully. I noticed that the pieces where you were able to identify the film with ease, were the ones that embedded the core elements of the film. Not only did the objects have to clearly represent their film, but the animations also used the same colour pallets and typography as the film/promotional material did. The clearer the mise en scene, the greater the identification of the film. With this in mind, we then created a storyboard for how we might morph our two objects together. 

My film choice is War of the Worlds: 2005. The film uses various props that pay significance to the film, but in my opinion, none greater than the spaceship and the hand grenade. The alien invasion is what drives the plot in this film, as the story unfolds, there is an element of tension as to what is causing all of the chaos before we and the characters are able to identify what it is exactly. The annihilation the spaceship causes resonates in the minds of the audience which is why I chose the spaceship as my first object to morph. 

In the latter stages of the film, the protagonist, dockworker Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) comes face to face with the spaceship, the scene is tense and there appears to be no outcome other than imminent death... but this was not the case. In the chamber the characters were being contained, close to the base of the spaceship itself, lied a set of grenades. As the spaceship attempts to engulf Ray Ferrier, he manages to release the pin from the grenade which “appears” to cause the spaceship to fall to its demise. This was a pivotal moment in the film, when there appeared to be no escape with doom in their midst, a new hope beacons. The threat of the aliens declines as their electromagnetic defence fields are open, and are open to missiles from military offences. This would not have been possible if the grenade hadn’t detonated and the people realised this fact. In consideration of the above, that is the core reason I chose the grenade as my secondary object. 

After choosing our film and it’s encoded objects, we could then create our storyboard. I begun with the spaceship, I thought it would be interesting to have the top of the spaceship to rotate and collapse forwards to suggest that is the fall of the spacecraft. As the spaceship fell, the legs of the ship would wrap around the base of the ship like ivy and the blood vessels the ships used to drain the blood out of earth. As the legs wrapped around the base, they would then morph into the finer details apparent on a grenade, as it would gradually morph into shape. Once a grenade, it would detonate and explode into dust, similar to the dust and ashes of the people when the spaceship obliterated them. The ash would then merge back together from the bottom upwards, to fulfil the original shape of the spaceship, forming my loop.

The concept I have created excites me, and I feel it would advocate the film in abundance. With the time we have and my early experience of After Effects, I do not know how achievable this concept is. I think exploring some other films might present some simpler, yet still effective concepts to animate.

ZER0 - Inspiration and Shout out

I'm actually pretty obsessed with this design ever since I picked up Borderlands 2 when it released. He was my first ever character and my heavy influence in the creation of Bruce's emotions.

Being a machine (question mark?) He was like my created character and I managed to take his iconic heads up display and implement it in my own way on Bruce.

Sure it may be less iconic and less stand out like Zer0 has it, but he's just so bloody cool, like take a look at this absolute badass. Now stop looking, don't take away his badass-ness

Anyway, I love this character to the bone.

Bruce is way cuter though, even if Zer0 is cooler (sorry Bruce)

AFTER EFFECTS - HALLOWEEN 

I attempted to apply the after effects knowledge I have gained over the past few weeks to make my own little animation piece! This was a good practice and I had fun doing so, I think I am at a stage now where I can confidently say I understand the basics of the program. I can’t wait to continue working with it.

WEEK 4- HALLOWEEN LOOP

For my two- second Halloween loop, I decided to do one based off of LAIKA’S Coraline. This was a really enjoyable mini- project to do as I got to experiment with tracing in After Effects as well as create 3D elements, in this case, the eyeballs. I am extremely proud of this, but through out the two weeks off I want to make other Halloween and Christmas loops to make sure I remember how the software works and to become more confident in order to create work with more complicated assets.

First pendulum test

Week 1 (24/09/2019)

Used: Tennis ball, thread, Dragonframe (program)

We used the 1920  x 1850 ratio and worked on twos with 25 fps. We used a very basic arc for our pendulum with two keyframes on the farthest positions, a single position in the middle and two in-betweens. The motion is very robotic due to its symmetry and very few in-betweens but it was a successful first attempt seeing as it helped us familiarize ourselves with pendulums and the program. However, the thread seems to be getting longer as the ball moves from point A to point B so in our second attempt we tried to be more mindful of that.

And here she is... My sweet little beastie. Isn't she the cutest. Don't have a proper name for her yet but I'm thinking about it. . If any of you have ideas I would be glad to hear them 😊 what would be her name? . She's part of that story for a game I told you about a few days back. I made this scene to add to my clean up demo reel. Obviously didn't take time to focus on backgrounds and such but that was not the priority. . . . #art #artist #artistoninstagram #drawing #drawings #digitalart #animation #animating #animationprinciples #animationvideo #animationdemoreel #cleanup #creature #beast https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RN2CKDQWY/?igshid=z5kai9lc17fm

Here's another test shot I #animated which I thought was lost forever haha. Dale Baer was my mentor at this time which was awesome!
