this was the first title that i had for the beginning of the animation. i decided later on it should be changed to white instead of red, and i also thought it would be better if it was presented differently rather than having it melt since i wanted the credits as well to go with it.

These two last videos are the final credits and introduction title that i settled on. they work better with the animation and both of them look much better and cleaner than the previous one. these two will be added into the final animation to make sure that its more finalised.

These are all the files that i have been using for the animation. they are all in seperate files that i had used to make the final animatic

This was the original final video that i made. however i had wanted to add credits to the video so i thought i should reedit the introduction and make it more cleaner, making sure i change the colour to white and also adding a better effect than just having it melt off.

These are the music choices that i had picked out. My friend had made these and told me i can use them. His name on his channel is called “loserkid” so i will be sure to add his credits at the end of the video since these are his work.

This is the old video ( with music) and this is how it looked before , there are some minor changes with the second video however there isnt any music or background noise that was added yet.

This is the new video , without sound and its more quicker than the last one. I made sure i took out the “i promise” scene since there is such a small time limit to add new animations to the animation and to add extra details such as the words being animated.

This is now the final scene . the end will just end up with it all going black and then the credits will roll.

These are the new scenes that show that both the irises change for both the characters , going smaller and the editing of them will now also change a tad bit , there will still be a zoom however it wont be to the point where it would get longed out or even make the scene more boring.

For the presentation, i mentioned what i had changed within the past interim 2 that we had. i made sure i changed the background for the kitchen scene , since the lamp looked like ” a mothers lamp” and it actually changed the perspective of everything , the final outcome of the background was better and it looked more cleaner .

i had also changed my logline and synopsis by just a bit , making sure that the audience would understand that this all is a hallucination made up in my characters mind and nothing turns out to be true.

for the feedbacks i received for the final animation was that for one it looked more like a music video because of the style of music i had added.

The way the music was , was that it put the animation down rather than match its level. it also wasn’t transitioning well and it didn’t have any good effect or cause to the animation. The ” i promise” scene where her mouth moves , i had added a text at the top and that looked edited more than animated which didn’t suit the final outcome of the animation but then again it was somewhat of an experiment then a final outcome and i wanted to see if it would be necessary to even have that scene or just cut it out directly and have only the part where they’re hugging.

the main issue was how much screen time some of the images had , and some of the scenes had , mainly towards the last part and the eye contact scene. before even adding emotion or even adding any sort of movement to the eye contact scene it was vert still and the zoom was more overdone than anything. so it made the animation drop.

the last scene when he wakes up from the dream and he’s looking at his reflection again , there was missing action that was needed so that gave me a new idea, what if i made sure the ending completely changed by adding his hand and making sure he breaks some parts of the sink instead of having him walk away from the camera. so that was a new scene i had to work on and add more motion to the eye contacts scene. music wise i also have to figure out how to add them in there without having them overpower the whole animation but make sure that it fits perfectly rather than take the whole focus off .

this is all the scenes all together and being edited , this is how many videos i had exported and how many images i had to use to make the final outcome , all i had to do was prepare for the final showreel and show how far i have gotten. This was a rough edit of what i had done and wanted to work on to finish i was going to wait till i got feedback.

this was some of the editing i had done for the scale, to make the zoom happen , i messed around with the scale tool and added the keyframe to when it would start and finish. this was done for the reflection scene in the bathroom, the eye contact scene and the rage scene.

this edit was done for mainly the rage scene and some parts of the promise scene to show that its only a memory and its fading into nothing. and this was the edit that i did for when his eyes widened and his iris would shrink , this way it would add more depth to the scene. i wanted to add more edits to the rage scene but with the time limit that i had i only stuck to the glitch effect.

once i had exported everything this is how everything looked. i made sure to number them and some of the screenshots shown are the ones that would have needed more screen time for them to be edited in properly.

everything is all in order so all i had to do was put them together and export them as different outcomes to edit.

These are all of the scenes and videos that have been exported separately put together . i made sure they were firstly edited on premier pro then once everything was put in order , to edit them in after effects.

the last scene is very slow, it shows how everything is moving normally and nothing has changed. the last part of this animation is when he looks at the camera, then walks away , and thats how i finished off the animation. and now all i had to do was export everything and edit everything together.
