Gifs

I looked at these gifs and I really like how they were made.

Video assesment

Its been a long year for me and I am now going to asses my videos and how my progress has gone so far over this past year.

Lets start with my very first animations:

This was my first animation, which I made using ink instead of a pencil (which was quite challenging since one big mistake could ruin the whole thing.

The animation was just about a dot doing something, we were told to make it do anything, even bouncing around was ok.

My idea was about a dot becoming something bigger which made it look like a seed growing bigger.

I made the animation on multiple pieces of paper, stapled it all together and the took a photo of each layer and assembled it into a video.

This one was made the same way but instead of ink I used a pencil, and the idea was to have a ball bounce around.


Animations made using photoshop:

This animation has the same concept as the one above with he ball bouncing, but instead of making it on paper I made it in photoshop and it was my first attempt at making a animated object in photoshop and it also had a small amount of physics.

But also pack then just to be on the safe side I included a line which you can see in the video which I made so that I knew where it would start, go and end at.

This animation was my attempt at making something explode, now its not necessarily a ball but more of a dot that again bounces but instead it explodes mid movement then continues to bounce.

Most people said its more resembling a flame rather than a explosion which I agree with.


Cut out animation:

This animation as says above was made using cut outs which were made out of paper.

This was made as a team with me coming up with the idea and the rest was made collaboratively.

The idea was that we would make a remake of 8-bit ping pong but using cut outs and it turned out ok, but one of my guys got his hand caught in the animation on accident.


Animated advert:

This was made by me over a two week period and it turned out well, the initial ideas was to make it 3D but I settled for 2D instead which was easier.

The animation was ok in my opinion I would like it to be coloured and a bit cleaner but for my first properly animated advert I say its alright.

The animation was made using photoshop and I then filmed and put the footage together so that it fits almost perfectly.

Then I recorded the dialogue and then added a few sound effects like for the shape bouncing up and down.
