title and ending screen

for the beguining title for this project as well as the ending credit was both done on flash and added to the front and end of the animation this was the final step in making the animation which will be uploaded shortly.

making the film!

ive imported all of the scenes and sounds into premier pro and using the dissolve funtion adding in a fade in and fade out to some of the scenes and to the beguinning and end. i will then procede to exporting the film when i will be finished!

editing the sound

edited the sound for each scene now using sound booth. took out all mistakes made by actor and got rid of as much background noise as i could useing the noise eliminator and by changing the volumes of different parts.

final scene rendered

Scene 4 is finally done and rendered all that is left to do now is edit and add the sound.

Scene 3 rendered

Scene 3 now rendered all done using the same methods discussed with scene 1 and 2.

Scene 1 Rendered

Scene 1 is now rendered and ready to have sound added to it this scene was done much in the same way as scene 2 with pivot points and set keys.

Scene 2 Rendered

Scene 2 is now rendered and ready to have sound added to it. the movements of the camera and of the characters is all done by moving the pivot points around and using set keys i did briefly play about with using the bone tools and either through my own lack of knowledge or the programs glitchy nature had alot of problems so gave up for a simpler approach.

everything new

due to an unfortunate failure of both my external hard drive and my laptop on the same day i have had to remake my characters and props these are the results:

Props!

these are 3 of the props i will be using in my animation: the sofa, the fridge and corn i also have a tv but that needs some more work!

Meet the characters!

both still need work but the grasshopper is nearly done and the ant needs more details will soon be ready to model the enviroments!

character mood board

this is the mood board for the characters of my final choise of story the ant and the grasshopper.

mood boards

These are my mood boards for the 3 stories i have chosen showing different peoples take on the different stories.

Finished my story board for the ant and the grasshopper i now have what im doing alot clearer in my mind and can properly start the animation.

Trick shot

using the techniques we have been taught ive created this very shot animation with the ball and camera following a line constraint and also using set keys to move the cue and to have a bit of impact on the ball when it hits the wall and ground.

New semester, New Blog

This new blog is to follow my progress animating one of Aesops Fables. The three im going to choose between are: The Ant and the GrassHopper, The shepherds' Boy or the Fox and the Stork. I have chosen these as they seem to still have relevant messages and also they seem good for kids and i think they will look good when finished.
