Week 1 Activity 1
Week 1 Activity 2
During this Activity 2 I’ve faced a few difficulties, is a take a picture by myself and a blurry picture. So in this activity I have to take picture of myself wearing mask but in that time no one is in my house except me so I have to take pictures by myself. So I uses my iPad to to take a video of myself and try to screen capture my different action in the video. After I screen capture I found that most of my picture are not clear enough, So I adjust and edited my picture into black and grey picture to cover up some part of my picture to make that my picture looked old.
Week 1 Activity 3
In this activity I didn’t faced any difficulties or problem during processing this work. IN the other hand I having fun of doing GIF and edited my own pictures which I never did it before. So I think that in this activity I have a lot of fun in doing it.
Week 2 Activity 1
-What are stages of developing an animation from story to finished sequence? 1. Storyboard: The sequence of scenes that take place in the animation or film. 2. Thumbnails: Small rough sketches of how a character might move or behave. 3. Key frames: The main frames of different movement in the animation 4. Extremes: Showing important moving between each Key frames 5. In-between: All the drawn frames in-between the Key frames and extremes
-What is frame rate? What is difference does it make to movement? FPS / Frame rates per second show how many picture of animation would be in this animation. The more frame rate or picture per second is the animation would be more smother but the less frame rate the animation would rough.
-Investigate Glen Keane. What is your favorite Glen Keane animation of a character? My favorite animation of Glen Kean is Tarzan Character
-Why? Explain what aspect of the films do you like? Tarzan is my favorite animation character of Glen Keane because the way how he mixed this character between human and animals. I really give a feeling that Tarzan was raised by a wild animal towards the way he moves and react to what he sees. I found its very emotional to me because the character really seems alive and all the movement of this character are connect, sometimes look like human but react like an animals.
-This week you will make your own sequence using your character design from the previous unit. What action will they perform? My character in unit 5 was inspired by myself and an artist name Annegret Soltau which he would be carrying out a enjoying to music moment and the following action: dancing, jumping and walk toward the speaker.
-When you make you own sequence how will you make the movement feel alive? To make my character feel alive I research how human body move when they are dancing and jumping toward an object. I will us the key movement in my own sequence of my drawing image. I will start by creating a thumbnail sketching based on dancing step and following by a main key frames.
-What frame rate will you use for your time based sequence? Why? I chose to do 12 frames per second because in order to do 24 frames per second it will take me a lot of time to do it. I don’t mine that my animation will be a little bit rough because it was just a test in doing this animation and due limited time.
Week 2 activity 2
Week 2 activity 3
This is my moving animation after I have finish my different sketching from my iPad, after that I upload file to a ezgif.com website to create a moving picture
Week 2 activity 4
Analyzing Unit 7 work -Describe the appearance and character of your mask using visual language? I try to give other to think about musician and dancer in the past which is represented from my mask by showing some painting on the mask as a face painting that they life to use in there show to attracted the audience. My character try to give the audience feeling about new generation boy that love music and some painting which connect to my unit 5 and my mask design, Which he has a some painting on the left hand and some tattoo on the right hand to represent a past rock musician that mostly of them loves to get tattoo on their arm.
-Describe how using time-based movement you have improved the appearance and character of your mask and character? I think using a time-based help my picture to move and feel more alive, also give and idea to an audience of how my character habit and movement are like.
-Explain how your research has influenced the design and the purpose or context of your time based outcomes. Researching help me a lot and give me an ideas of how my character will move around the scene. It hep me to know how I could arrange each part in the scene itself and mostly on my character movement
-Describe the material, process and technique used to make the time-based work. I’ve my iPad to draft everything in my work. Starting from a thumbnail sketches to storyboard, After I finish my story board I try to digitally sketch each part of the scene. Then I captured my screen and took each picture to make a GIF files which I think it easier for me to do it that way.
-Describe how the materials, process and technique used to make the mask help to effectively communicate the character. So I think that the most important thing when I wear my mask and try to communicate with other with just a picture is the motion of the image, that show what is the mood of my character.
-Explain what problem you had in using paper or digital techniques in the project and how you overcame these problem. Explain what would you do differently next time to make improvement? I didn’t have any problem with my digital techniques but their are only things that i could improve in my next work which i knew it after finishing my work. I found that my animation are not that smooth and not quite connected to each other, So I thin that in my next work I should put more scene to connect my animation and make it smoother.
-Analyse how element of your work in this unit could be used to inspire your work in unit 8? So right now if I think that I could some picture editing skill that I have learned to inspire my work in unit 8
