Lecture 10: Introduction Final project

28 May, 2018 (Week 10)

On the tenth week of class, Mr. Hafiz brief us for our final assignment. We were given a song called 'Us against the world' by cold play. The lyrics were divided for us to animate. There are 2 parts that we were asked to animate. I chose that particular part of the lyrics to be animated.


Part 1:
The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in

Part 2:
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world


From the 2 sections lyrics that were divided, on week 11 we were asked to come out with the mood board, concept board, and rough sketches. In figure 1, is my color scheme that I will apply to my animation.

After I started doing my animation, I decided to change my color scheme where I will follow the color scheme that is used by Glen Keane in his 'Duet' animation.
Fig. 1.1, Color Scheme 2
In this animation I am focusing on two people who are dancing together, so my reference are mostly different movement and post of dancing.

When I showed my animatics to Mr. Hafiz, he told me it's good and he gave his opinion on making it like the girl is fire and the man is like a water. Also there is some part where the transition is not smooth, he also help me give some idea to fix that transition. Aside from that, Mr. Hafiz commented that my drawing style is like 'Cakar ayam' because there is so many lines being overlapped as I draw. Upon doing the animatics I find it hard but after I'm done with the animatics I was so worried because doing the animation should be really smooth and for me, I have a hard time in drawing. This leads me to have a lot of practice in drawing.

Doing my animation for this final project I find it so challenging. My animation that I did is lacking frames, that is why is not that really smooth. My biggest challenge is to draw. As I do this animation, I find a lot of reference and also learn how to draw the curvature of the body which I find it hard. Moreover, I should include all the 12 principles which I somehow lack in this animation. For that I need a lot of practice and I should be enjoying doing it don't take it too stress, if not the outcome will be affected.
