Grace Mayer: February 2011
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 23 February 2011. I was looking through some photos from my visit to North Queensland earlier this year, and found the photos I took of some Australian plants and flowers. I know that the first one is a Hibiscus flower but I can't seem to find the names of the others, sadly. Since my final design is producing a floral effect, I thought these might give some inspiration. Thursday, 17 February 2011. This is what the form looked like when folded together and attached at the base:. During the past...

Grace Mayer: Floating
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/floating.html
Monday, 2 May 2011. Next I needed to photograph and animate the scene where my character floats away on the balloon, so I looked at how I could involve a zoomed in effect on the scene to make it more interesting. I like this effect, however, I think the zoomed in section shows too much of my background, and also highlights some rougher areas in it, which could make the animation look a bit amateurish.

Grace Mayer: Confusion
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/confusion.html
Sunday, 1 May 2011. I have added to my first scene with the rabbit disappearing out of sight and have made the spectator rabbit look confused with a different facial expression and a question mark. I think the outcome looks smooth and I like how it ties in with the rhythm of the music. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Grace Mayer: April 2011
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 April 2011. So Far So Good. I have managed to produce the first few seconds of my animation, where the rabbit is bouncing on his trampoline, and I'm very happy with the results. The order of my story now goes:. Rabbit bouncing on trampoline with it's friend watching from the side on the grass. The bouncing rabbit gets higher and higher until it eventually jumps so high that it disappears from sight. The spectating rabbit looks around very puzzled. Thursday, 28 April 2011. I have made my hot ...

Grace Mayer: Cropping the Music Track
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/cropping-music-track.html
Wednesday, 4 May 2011. Cropping the Music Track. To make sure I find the correct section of my music track, I have used software called WavePad. I opened the track in the program and then listened to it to find exactly where my chosen section started and ended. Once I knew this, I highlighted the area and trimmed it down. Then I simply saved it ready to import into After Effects and onto my final animation. This is the process I went through:. The track open in WavePad. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Grace Mayer: Final Scenes Alteration
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/final-scenes-alteration.html
Wednesday, 4 May 2011. Once I looked at my final scene (landmark) backgrounds, I thought they might not fit with the rest of the animation so well. With this in mind, I decided to take the collage background from the previous scenes and apply it to the images. This meant they would tie in better and the whole thing would be more consistent, rather than having a chunk of stop motion and a chunk of keyframed animation. These are the final products:.

Grace Mayer: Final Animation!
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/final-animation.html
Thursday, 5 May 2011. After all the development and experimentation I have done, I have settled on my final animation. I have made the final scene end abruptly to match the end beat of the piece of music, and fitted the scenes around the tempo of the track. I am really happy with how my first animation project has turned out, and look forward to developing my skills further. Print to Pixel Animation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Grace Mayer: To Zoom or not to Zoom?
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/to-zoom-or-not-to-zoom.html
Thursday, 5 May 2011. To Zoom or not to Zoom? After tying in the whole animation together, including the final added scenes, I wondered whether to incorporate a zoom at the beginning, since I decided to leave it out in the float scene. Here are both options:. Print to Pixel Animation. I think I much prefer the animation with the zoom at the beginning, it gives it more detail and builds up the beginning nicely rather than just going straight into the first scene.

Grace Mayer: Landmark Backgrounds
http://grmayergraphicdesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/landmark-backgrounds.html
Sunday, 1 May 2011. I have taken a few of the images I found when researching landmarks, and have edited them and turned them into cartoon style backdrops for the final scenes of my animation:. I transferred these into After Effects to see how they looked when I added the balloon and animated the scenes using keyframes. This is a screen shot of the process:. I may edit these background images slightly between now and bringing my animation together. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
