colouring scenes, rage scene

Since i needed a cause for why this was happening , i made sure to animate this specific scene to show the route of all the problems . this is the scene that shows that my characters special person abandoned, left and just disappeared without anything. i wanted to make sure that the viewers found this scene confusing , in a sense questioning what happened to her and how she is the cause of everything.

in this scene that i animated i made sure that she says the words ” i promise”.

some of these are really quick however as i will be editing the scenes together im going to slow down the frame rate so that its not too fast and it shows the scenes more slower .

i planned on editing the scene as a memory so that when he does snap out of that memory that was caused by the eye-contact from the demon , he then would fall into rage. so the way i incorporated this part of the scene where it shows his iris going smaller would then fall into the next part which would show his full rage and anger.

These two scenes are together , again they are really fast with the frame rate , however again i will be changing that when they are edited in the final movie.

These last few scenes are all about showing how his anger and rage finally gave in on him , how he’s not happy where he is , this scene doesn’t last a while however it will show a few things that will fall under the last scene.this is the part i was struggling with since it was getting close to the ending . i thought maybe if i did have all this rage how would i then bring it back to real time and finish it?.

Then the idea of hallucinations , dreams and visions came into mind . maybe if i started off with the bathroom scene , it would end with the bathroom scene to show that all this time , everything that he had felt , witnessed had all been a dream and he is still standing in the bathroom looking at his own reflection.

colouring the clips. kitchen scene

for the kitchen scene , it took a long time to put together and colour in general. as you can see , I’ve already tried to fill in the demons head by colouring it in. The difficult part of this all was colouring everything frame by frame on adobe animate.

these are seperate frames that were used for the colouring and shading of the animation. this scene had the most that needed colouring and detailing which took most of my time with the details and the shadows.

This is the way it finally looks after some touchups and adding in details. i made sure the background of the kitchen also became dim , since it cuts off with the demon turning off all the lights , so it would only match up if everything became darker.

Looking for skin tone in adobe animate might have been hard since it doesn’t give you all the colours , nor does it have a blend smoothing for the shadings. i tried to make sure that when i do shade them in and add shadows to the skin , for it to be more clear and have that block effect without having to blend in or smudge in the skin tone to make it smoother , rather it turned out better than i had anticipated and thats the way i kept throughout my whole animation.

Since i was finished with the kitchen scene and the taunting scene , i had to figure out how to make sure that it shifts into the raging scene. and i thought if i add a scene where the demon is actually facing my character and they have a eye contact that shifts the scene , maybe it would work better.

so this is the scene that i drew out and animated . this scene quickly shifts to them having eye contact before it fades into the next scene to show the cause of why my character is being taunted and why hes seeing this demon coming into his life again.

this is the eye contact scene , i thought of if i add in zoom effect on after effects it will work better and its more simpler than having to add more frames just to make the eyes zoom in on adobe animate.

i was told for this part since it only was a block image zooming forward , maybe to add a bit of life to them , example , making their iris smaller and to show more emotional action than just an image.

since this was a photoshopped image , i thought i could do the frames in photoshop and thats what i did , i made sure to edit the new scenes onto the animation in the file.

final video

for the final video i decided to remove the axe that randomly falls through the screen and thought it would be best to replace it with a blob again and make the final words disappear . i also changed the resolution of the image used , giving it a more high quality and crisp finish.

Interim2 presentation

presentation1interim2Download

from the interim 2 presentation the feedback i received was needed. The problem was that the image was not in high resolution but that i can fix , i also was told that the axe is very confusing but it does its job, however if anything i might be deciding if it would be best to remove the axe and add more background colour and more details instead. i still have not thought of how i could further develop the animation however i will be focusing more on how i should make sure each frame is lined up perfectly with the storyline for the ident.

Animatic ident

as i started on the ident , i realised that i actually liked the full layout and design idea from this piece , however i wanted to get more feedback on the animatic based on what i had created. it was very simple and i liked the way it looped itself and it seemed creative. the final slide where its showing the axe , i thought it might need more work since its very random and it doesnt really fit with the whole animation. if anything i felt as if it needed a storyline to be added for the axe to fit in however with some feedback i would be able to develop the idea further.

Ident research

since im always on tiktok , i had figured there had to be creators out there that make idents for fun or even to experiment with. And to my surprise i found these two videos that caught my eye. I instantly knew i should try and replicate something like this.

The way they work with simplicity of lines to just move the ident in and out of the screen . i wanted to experiment and develop some idea like that. so i decided i should also stick with the normal colours from the actual logo of woodland heritage.

Colour schemes- experimentation

These are some of the designs i figured would work. The first image is me understanding what colours they have used and colour swatching them and changing their shades to see if making the colours differ just a little they might work. However i wanted to start getting a bit more creative so on the second image as shown , i have messed around with the logo design to use some different colours that might end up working , such as pinks , blues and mainly greens ,browns and creme colours.

However i had to understand what i wanted to do for the animatic , so i decided it would be best to see how other people have approached the idea of making an ident animatic.

Woodland heritage – research

“Our Vision : A UK more self-sufficient in timber grown in healthy, well-managed woodlands that benefit people and wildlife.

Our Mission : To be instrumental in developing the resources and skills necessary for producing quality wood products made of timber from healthy, well-managed trees grown and processed in the UK.“

woodland heritage focuses on producing good quality and environmentally friendly wood work. Understanding that they work in order to produce materials from timber i instantly got to work.

this is some of my own research based on what projects they have worked on. These are just some of them that they contributed to.

This is the logo that i was told to work with for the ident. knowing this i had to start developing ideas to see how i could animate something for the ident that seemed appropriate and professional .

Woodland heritage research (ident)

Featured snippet from the web

Idents can be thought of as video logos. Traditionally, networks and channels have tended to create hand-drawn simplistic idents that look like they couldn’t wish harder to get over with as soon as possible. But with animation, the possibilities are endless.

this is an example of what an ident is. At first i was confused on what they were and how to work around them , but i understood that an ident is a way the company presents itself within a 15 second animation/moving image.

understanding that i was going to make an animation for 10-15 seconds i decided to research more into woodland heritage to understand what they do and what their company is all about , that way i would know what to add within the ident animatic.
