The Animation

For the final part of the unit 12 assignment i tried to do 2 different ways to animate my animation as i only had a short amount of time to do the animation: I tried drawing the animation at home using "Paint Tool Sai" by doing it with keyframes and i also drew the animatics of the animation at college using "Adobe flash"

I was originally going to use the keyframes drawing I did on "Paint Tool Sai" as a template for drawing on adobe flash as its hard for me to draw on adobe flash sometimes.

 I really love how my character drawing came out with this scene with the character's eyes and hairstyle however i didnt get the character to move around, except for her eyes and mouth moving. I feel like i need to research how to do movement in animation.

 Even though the colours are a bit out there i liked how the character came out as they have their own characteristic to them. my teacher also said that i should try out different body types skin shades as the design of the characters before were all the same colour.

 I used ‘Paint Tool Sai’ for this template scene that I drew. I liked how I created the sky. I blended 3 shades of blue together to represent the sky look however I did not add clouds because I haven’t developed technique to draw clouds. The trees are quite simple but I was trying to get more depth into my environment. I got the character drawing from a sketch that I did in my notebook in which I decided to use this style for the long distance animation. I scanned it in and then re drew it digitally using ‘Paint Tool Sai’. This is a character template.

 I am happy that I was able to get the animatics animated using "Adobe Flash". I was able to get the feeling of how the animation would've gone if i did have it fully animated. The only problem is that I didnt work on the timing of the animation so it looks quite rushed
