Finishing Animation

-

 Today I went through the list of changes I needed to make and applied them to my animation. Most required me to update certain objects in the scene, such as the background or house, as they had been improved upon in later scenes. I also added extra elements, such as cars driving past, in order to make the world seem lived in. Its little details like that which really add a lot to an overall shot. 






After cleaning up the animation, it was now ready for sounds to be added. I imported the video into Adobe Audition and began adding the same sound effects found in the pre-viz, in order to block out what I already had. I found that some sounds did not fit the finished animation and so I changed them. Since I changed how some of the scene's played out, I had to add additional sound effects in the appropriate areas. I spent a lot of time finding the right sound and tried out multiple until it was perfect. 

I really like how the audio turned out and feel it adds SO much character to the animation. I really tried to layer the sounds, so that their is always something going on in the scene. I included multiple songs, which shift the tone of the scene to help with the storytelling. I particularly like the part where Moom is flying in the air, with intense music, while God is peacefully going about his life in heaven. I also changed the music based on each skit, as further indication that its a different scenario.

I feel like my experience in Audition has greatly increased and I now have a greater understanding of the importance of sound in animation. 





Now that both tasks had been completed, they were now ready to be combined to create the final animation.

Major Project Submission Post: Reflective Statement + Art Of

  Reflective Statement For Major Project Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of the animation. This is mainly due to me feeling that I was able to include everything I set out to do, all the way from the beginning of Premise. It has been a very long process, with different routes taken in order to bring me to the final product. At times I felt I had set myself a far too large goal to achieve and was unsure that I was able to complete the project within the timeframe. However I kept going and I am proud to say I completed everything to the best of my ability. I believe the key to succeeding in the completion of this project was good time management. Had I not completed certain section in time for the next then I would have run out of time nearer the end of the project.  At the end of the Minor project, I had completed the redesign of my animation story and characters and applied my ideas to create a Pre-viz which depicted the events of the second iteration of the animatic. I th

From Script To Screen: Investigating How Shutter Island Tricks The Audience

-

 In order to understand how to portray my character in a more believable way, I decided to look at similar stories in which the character is an unreliable narrator. A prime example of this is the film Shutter Island.  Shutter Island Plot Summary The film is centred around detective Teddy Daniels as he investigates the mysterious Shutter Island in order to locate a missing patient, Rachel Solando. Teddy is trying to deal with the murder of his wife and has reason to believe Andrew Ladus is on the island as well, the man who murdered her. As the film progresses so does the mystery of not only the missing patient but also the island itself. As Teddy continues his investigation he becomes more and more suspicious of those around him, to the point in which he turns out of control in an attempt to escape their capture. The film ends with the realization that Teddy and Andrew are one in the same and Teddy was submitted to the institute after murdering his wife. The guilt from his time served

Character Bible: Elliot Goh

  Main Characters Man from future  Names for character: Elliot Goh (E.GO)      Man is vain and has a lot of money. For this reason, I feel like he would spend a large amount of his money on himself. This could be by purchasing expensive accessories and clothing as well as spending it on his physical appearance (tattoos, Botox and hair transplant). His deepest desire is to be looked upon as a god, which is how he views the superhero who is protecting his city. He is very envious of the hero as he knows no matter how much money he has he will never be able to compete with the supernatural. His jealousy has corrupted his thoughts and he begins obsessing over the origin of the hero. He throws all of his money into researching superheroes and time travel and dedicates his life researching about every single sighting of the hero.  I want him to look as physically muscular as humanly possible, in order to get across the idea that this is a man who has everything and will try everything in ord
