Baby Sea Turtle!

The final project for this short animation with dialogue had to be the easiest animation we have done in the entire semester! I worked with After Effects and had a fun time making the character move like a puppet by adding the different kinds of joints and positioning it in different areas. I thought this project was going to be really complicated, just because it included the dialogue structure and had to include the mouth movements, but when I was in that stage for dialogue it was actually easier than what I had expected. I keyframed the different kinds of mouths I needed whenever the sea turtle talked and that was all, very simple as you can see. The hardest part about this was making sure the whole body moved when I wanted it to move and being able to keep that direct eye contact with the audience. The footage in the background was found online and the voice-over is one of my friends that offered to help speak as a kid, so everything turned out well like I wanted it to come out t...

Ballerina!

Rotoscope was a whole mission to accomplish! Working on this project took so much time, it was very fun but time-consuming when it came to redrawing the same frame over and over again to only make a few seconds out of it! I picked out a video of a ballerina dancing because the more movement the better it was for me but it took a lot of work. If I had more free time, I would definitely do more of these animations. The background was not as complicated as I thought because it did not move overall and I just had to slightly move the image but besides that, the main work was on the dancer. I painted her dress and made the lines sketchy around her dress for a unique style. The movie was not clear enough for the individual images so I had to assume what was going on in every frame and how to match it to the other frames before and after it. The onion section helped out greatly on those parts.

Christmassssss!

The typography project was fun for me to do! I picked out a classic holiday song because the seasons are around the corner and I feel like the song lightens up everyone's mood no matter what they celebrate. Working with after effects, I felt more comfortable with the software overall and it was easier to do for the rotation and positions of all the titles and shape layers. For the majority of the ideas, I looked up online to see what I could do to give a sense of Christmas throughout the film and find those different items that make up the holidays. For the snow part, it was definitely something different to do because it is a new software for me and I was taught step by step on how to make it but it was nice to see that I could do different kinds of effects to make the short film even better. At the end of the day, it is the small details that I enjoyed doing the most.
