Animation Studiees / COADAM241f - 012

The final animation short I created for my Animation Studies module is called 'Hope in the Air.' It tells the story of a young boy going through the isolation of COVID-19. The story begins with him feeling confused as he hears ambulance sirens and sees healthcare workers testing a neighbor, while news reports remind everyone to stay safe.

The animation shows his daily life during lockdown, marking off days on a calendar and facing the uncertainty that came with it. It reflects the emotions people felt during the pandemic and the joy of finally getting back to normal life style.

This was my first animation project, and it taught me so much. It guided me to learn how to use Krita and, most importantly, helped me start working with After Effects. It’s been a big part of my creative journey.

Thank you !!!

Animation Krita Time Line

The animation features are moving clouds, swaying grass, and trees.

First, I drew the ambulance in Krita, then tried to animate the ambulance wheel animation in Krita, but it didn't work as I planned. So, I did some research and found a solution for creating the animation using After Effects. I saved the Krita file as a Photoshop 'PSD' file format, imported it into After Effects, and completed the ambulance animation.

Here the Final artworks I have drawn using krita and my graphic tablet.

This is the first color palette I used, but I changed the colors to create a more energetic feel for the animation.

Here the all final artworks...

This is the final assiment story script - "HOPE IN THE AIR"
