my production boards, I decided to just summarise the problems and the process with production because it was pretty much the same in each shot

Embers of Allendale
my final piece
Ideally I would of liked more time to make the transitions flow more and add back in sh7 but I think this still shows the vibes and gets the message across in the same way

Production Boards
Tumblr media
Laying out some screenshots and still from my project, talking about how I did some preproduction in this semester and how it helped push my project along and any decisions I made in that moment, and then onto time management as it wasn’t a strong point of mine, and then I want to talk about how the final product isn’t quite what I wanted but I like it and have enjoyed making it

Putting Everything together
Tumblr media
I’ve had problems with the animatic file and I’m having to go back through the audition file and pick out the audio I wanted to use, I’ve added some new bits as well but I don’t want it to be too overwhelming but also I want it to feel the way it feels to be there

Title
Embers of allendale...
i went with embers of allendale as i felt like just stating the town and the date was not good enough for this project.
i wanted to do abit of research into the word ember aswel to relate it to my project...
Embers are small pieces of burning or glowing coal or wood in a dying fire. They are the remnants of a fire that has mostly burned out, but still retain enough heat to potentially reignite, they continue to glow and generate heat for a significant period after the main flames have died down and can be used to rekindle a fire or to start a new one.
Metaphorically, "embers" can represent lingering remnants of a once strong emotion or situation, such as the enduring feelings after a passionate relationship or the remaining potential in a waning movement or idea.
after reading the metaphorical and literal meanings of ember i was abit worried that it was a negative word, and not something that can be used in the context of my project so i looked into it a little further...
Embers can be used in a more positive and hopeful context. In a metaphorical sense, embers can symbolize renewal, revival, or a fresh start. Embers can represent the enduring strength and resilience that remains even after a challenging period. They symbolize the potential for recovery and growth, showing that all it takes is a bit of nurturing to reignite the flames of success or passion.
(I am not going to lie, i learned about this in a video over analyzing the character of zuko in avatar the last airbender)
embers can also represent a sustained passion and warmth that remains even after initial excitement has passed. They suggest a deeper, more enduring form of connection or dedication, and In many cultures, embers are seen as sacred or powerful symbols. They might represent the enduring spirit of a community, the ongoing presence of ancestors, or the continuous light of wisdom and guidance. (One of the theories to how th tar barls came about was to ward off evil spirits for the year to come)
So i think embers is the right word to have here, this traditionn has been ongoing for many many years and will hopefully continue to be supported and sustained (or fueled if you will lololol) embers doesnt even look like a word to me now

SH7
i started the fire on this scene and even though it looks amazing i am going to start sc8 now because the deadline is growing closer and i need time to complete the other components of this module, i amm able to cut this part out completely if i dont have time to include it in my final submission. this is 23 seconds and the last scene is abour 30 seconds and i can have a finished animation with the ending scene done, for the graduation show though i will probably finish this bit and put it on, also i havent done a title yet which is not great because im not even sure what to call this...
i think making sure the last shot is done is a smart move at this point because then i can have a finished animation instead of one without an ending

Sh6 Done for now
i addded smoke in the background of this one, i really like how the guisers came out in this one too, as i was walking with them when videoing this part you can really see the movement ad how theyre all walking and turning around. i have 2 more 27 second animations to do and it is proving more and more difficult to get them done in the time frame i set for myself, my hand hurts, i spilled fanta on my mac keyboard, i just want this over with, but no matter how terrible i feel i feel a sense of pride and accomplishment every time i have a look at what i have done so far.

Sh6 whoohoo
i love this shot, i cant wait to add the colours underneath the lighting, the merge from the last shot will probably be a little bit difficult as i changed the scale of the reference in the last shot but im sure itll be fine because im going to have to do it anyway,
i am adding colours into this because it is a more up close shot and i really want to bring some of the colour back from the beginning of the animation as we move to the ending

Sh5 Done for now
i have started the merge with the next scene already so its easier when it comes to it, and i also think the focus on the people staring and videoing at the side really go along with jonny talking about how people are shouting at you from the sides and stuff.

Sh5 has begun
this is a shorter part so its going quickly, (Yes YES ) this part is similar to the scene before hand but i have changed the framing a little bit to focus more on the people to the side watching as jonny talks about people shouting at you from the sides, i dont mind the fact that its similar, its a really cool perspective to be able to see from in the precession and i want the audience to feel part of it too.
in terms of the technical side, last shot (sh4) was abit difficult because i wasnt very organied with my layers because i started with the layers for different colours but then the art layers got abit messed up ect i think it was because i took a break half way through animation because of some family stuff -- which has meant ive had to get a 5 working day extension -- anyway, so for this scene im making sure to keep layers organised, and taking mental notes of which art layer im using for what ect, for the background people ive used one layer, named 'background peeps' and then on the line art layer i have the orange flame colour and then on the colour art layer i have the browny red base colour, this is a much neater way of sorting things out and im glad i have changed this from the last scene coz i could of exploded it was so complicated for nothing, i literally didnt have a problem with how i was doing it with other scenes do im not sure why i changed it, anyway, this shot will hoepfully be a breeze and then i can start on another shot, which the last couple are going to take abit more intricacies because i want to reflect some of the colours of the guisers costumes because i haven't really done that yet as i have been focusing on the fire.

Sh4 Done for now
i am happy with where this is at, im still not completely happy with the middle part but im just gonna have to leave it for times sake, maybe when everything else is put together itll look better because i havent done any little hand drawn abstract bits yet and it looks a little out of place.

Sh4 Update
faster and explosion of flame, i think this part matches up with the pacing abit better and leads quite nicely into the butterflies. the audio will be slightly edited so it makes more sense with the visuals but i think the first bit following the barrels looks really good, i was afraid it would look bad because of the alot of the same colour but it looks really nice in shot 3 so i thought i might aswell give it another go, all i have to do now is add the white to the fire bouncing around in the flame, this will make it look more like fire.
i think i did a good job making it look like fire moving about, could use abit more of a flicker but il see how it comes out with the white on.

Sh4 Updateeee
ive sketched out the basics of the middle part, i feel like it is not quick enough to match the kind of words, i also feel like some sort of explosion would make sense. like all the emotions bubbling up, i want the butterflies to contrast this because even though having butterflies is a fight or flight kind of feeling it is much more soft and tickley if that makes sense, maybe i could add something to the butterflies to make them feel abit more on the nose.

Sh4 Update
the audio doesnt quite match up how id want it to but ive almost done the first part now, and i think i am going to take the flames and have them become much more abstract and represent the feelings and stuff that jonny is talking about...
i had a tutorial with hugo about this shot because it is the beginning of the more abtract and improvised parts, as good as i am with improvising on stage i wasnt sure how i was going to approach this in animation.
youtube
Hugo suggested having a look at some of Oskar Fischinger's work and how he shows the sounds and stuff through the moevement and application of shapes, ive seen work similar to his in the past but never actually took the time to have a look at his specific works and i actually really like it! i like how at the music builds up and the amount of intruments intorduced is reflected through the shapes, it is mesmirising to watch however i would have to apply this in a lightly different way, i am trying to visualise the feelings but in a fast enough way that it can line up with the audio, maybe looking into some other artists/animators that work with feelings and stuff would be useful.

Sh4 lets gooo
Okay so my plan for the first part is to focus on the reflection of the light on the ground and then the camera pans up and i focus on the flames carried, once i have that done i will see what it looks like and see what adding some lighting on clothing would look like, and then there is a part in the animatic where i havent gotten anything yet, i want to have something that relates to what jonny is saying in his interview but because i have a lot of literal imagery i was perhaps thinking of putting something abstract in there instead but i left it blank so i could sort of come up with it on the spot, i have some ideas but im going to focus on getting this first part done before moving onto the little gap to fill.
while working on the rsa breif last sem i learned that not every part of an animation needs fast imagery to relate to the audio, sometimes it can be overwhelming for the viewers, so far i have had decently fast moving visuals and maybe its time to have something that progresses a little slower, i feel like the movement of the frame by frame might be able to keep the pace of the movement, ill have to see what i come up with so far,
also, the white parts are pink at the moment so i can actuallt see them while rotoscoping.
