Animation Year 1

I painted a bunch of my walls! starting with the wallpaper which I did this gorgeous deep green and then I painted the actual walls of the set with a base coat of white and whilst they dried I painted the store-front red - this is different from my original plan as I wanted to do it a deep green also, however I decided red would be a great way to bring more warmth to the upstairs section of the store and also after some research on colour theory I learnt that red is a very eye-catching and attractive colour so It will help to guide the audiences eye and explain Annie’s draw to the store...also I think it works quite well to parallel all of the meat and blood I’ll have present!. I did everything with a roller brush apart from the storefront which I hand-painted as I thought the strokes of the brush in the finish looked much more authentic and appealing for the store.

I was able to laser cut my sets which was epic and I designed them to have some slots so that I could slot the walls in to stand on their own as also so I can move/ remove them in-order to achieve different shots whilst filming. 

Then I used some foam board to make stairs as I figured this would be much easier than using more wood especially as I don’t have access to the downstairs workshop everyday (it’s only open to us from wed aft to fri) so it works well as I can cut it to my specifications from my stop mo room!

This is my completed animation for Here I Crumb.

Unfinished version of Here I Crumb with some colour!

It’s not finished, but I just wanted to show some progress for the crit. I really feel like I’ve been doing some good work considering my many obstacles this week so I’m proud of the journey and I’m just gonna keep climbing! 

Backgrounds....

This is our combined sequence for the Cinema 4D workshop! It utilises the same backing track as well as a black fade integrated in premiere for a seamless transition between our separate animations :D

This is my completed 3D animation for the title Hapless Junction!

These are some screenshots showing some of my finishing touches with my animation including me utilising the materials available in cinema 4d and using the settings menu within the material to make changes to the way it appears on my models. I have also included a preview render which gave me a lot of insight inot what my finalised animation would look like as well as a screenshot of me adding sound and transitions for my animation using premiere pro.

These are some screenshots I took throughout the modelling process where I was developing my junction. I began by creating a cube and then utilising the face selection tool and extrusion tool to extrude faces of the cube outward to create the different areas of the junction as well as the dip in the centre of the junction where I made space for another trap. Furthermore, I began crafting some items for the booby traps such as the spikes within the junction as well as familiarising myself with the different viewing options such as the side, front and top views. These different views can be extremely useful especially when you want to focus on a particular area or aspect of your object and can help you model more detailed and intricate scenes.

This is some of my research for this project. I was highly inspired by a scene in the popular game Tomb Raider where the protagonist (Lara Croft) has to evade many different booby traps and obstacles to explore the dangerous tomb. I took some screenshots from inside of the game and was able to use these images as reference throughout. One of the major influences for me was the boulder from this game as I saw it as an unavoidable terror and I thought that played in really well with the theme of my title Hapless Junction. I planned to make it a focal point in my own animation. I also have a few hotkeys I noted down toward the beginning of the project which helped me to grasp the new software a lot faster as well as a mood board which I used as reference and for research throughout the project.
