Approach: This week I became that much closer to the section of the song that has lyrics in it. I know this isn't as far as I wanted to be at this point, but having lyrics can drive the animation as well, so this is good to have at this point too (seeing as I feel like I'm running out of 'shapes' to work with that don't take up too much of the screen). Choices Made: This week was just a good amount of working through Photoshop woes. I had some issues with layering within the program where I would duplicate or draw on the incorrect layer for a set amount of frames--I would then have to delete these frames and start over. Or, I would begin an animation of an object on the incorrect layer and finish the animation of another object on a layer that was 10 frames before; this makes everything line up incorrectly and breaks the visual flow of the objects. I would just tell myself 'keep going and fix it later', but having everything fall in line correctly beforehand is vital to the rest of the animation working. Inspirational Sources: Questions Raised:
Next Steps: Keep working on the animation and finish up the readings! I'm excited to continue working on this knowing that I won't have a time-crunch on when it is complete. I consider it a test for my technical skills as an animator and an artist too; I learned a great deal about loops and considering all the different ways that we can visually manifest new forms that are either recognizable, entertaining to look at, or just there for motion. -Taylor Olsen Comments are closed.
