Modelling Process

Reflection:I was unable to attend the offline class to make traditional animations using some materials such as lightboxes because I was in self-imposed isolation this week, but I did make frame-by-frame animations using some animation software on my ipad, which I felt didn’t do very well, but I will get better at animating in the future and make better animations.

Idea and Concept:

My initial idea was to connect the charger to the phone, but I thought it would be better to realise the idea of connection a little. So this is a concept for my final work. The relationship between people, the emotions are all a connection. This time the work is a chat interface to a heartbeat transition animation. I used the software After effects to create the motion graphic animation, for me it was my first attempt at creating MG animation and I tried many times during the process. For the chat page animation I tried a simple animation using zoom, but it was difficult to adjust the number of frames. Later on the heartbeat animation was the most complicated step, not only did it need to adjust the number of frames but it also needed to transform and rotate the graphics and constantly resize them to make the animation look Perfection.

Reflection：

I think this project was a great experience for me and deepened my love for MG animation, I tried many times but finally finished the project. Of course there were some shortcomings, I only had 10 seconds and it didn’t express my point very well. I could have tried more ways to tweak my animation. I will try to perfect my animation in future projects!

Reflection: During this week’s course I learnt to use modelling software to build and colour render some scenes. My final product is a formalised representation of my room in 3D modelling. This was my first attempt at 3D modelling and the process was a bit complicated for me but I was able to complete it. This project is a new experiment for me and has increased my interest in 3D animation.

Reflection:I drew this character using ProCreate. I chose the winter element, because it is already winter so it is easier for me to finish. The characters wear thick clothes and scarves to show the cold of winter. I couldn’t attend some of the workshop courses because I am not in London, but I learned a lot by watching the taped courses.

Story:On the distant planet outland, Morra, a warrior from Armo, is confined to a tiny mental hospital. Her younger brother, Rif, piloted the machine and gathered a number of machine warriors to outland and search for his sister. What Rafe doesn’t know is that Morra has become a native of outland.When Rafe arrives in Outland, morra is not the sister he thought she was. And then a man who looked exactly like Morra came out of the mental hospital. Rafe mistook this for his sister, and the real sister was killed in cold blood. The so-called “sister” leaned into Rafe’s ear, said, “I’m just in your head,” and disappeared… Is the ” sister” from the mental hospital really the sister?

Reflection:I played a lot of planet-themed games, so I saved some screenshots, and I was inspired to write this story from those screenshots. I originally wanted to write a scary story, but I thought a dark one would be better for me. Although I could not attend the workshop, I watched the recording and self-study on Moodle.
