Project 2 Process

Project 2 Kinetic Type

With this project I really began to take process seriously. Spent a lot of time in preproduction which ultimately probably too much.



From all this I came up with this style frame.



You can find our test renders at Kevin's blog. We only got the basic foundations in, no details or anything.

Here is one animation I was working on that didn't make it into our last render.

Project 1 Process

Project 1: Emotion Type
15-20 seconds
Animate an adjective using only the word


For this project I honestly really neglected preproduction. It didn't really end up hurting me much, but I never set goals or do extensive research/brainstorming. I began this project by searching for words that I might like to animate by talking with my friends and going through online thesaurus.


The list I came up with was.
impotent
zealous
pusillanimous
irrational
awe
aroused
whimsical
quizzical
lustful
pensive
horny
radiant
From here I picked 3 words to concept. I ended up trying zealous, irrational, and impotent.





I ended up choosing irrational.

First Pass: laying foundation.


Second Pass: adding detail.


Final: final details and sound design
(too big to embed)

Overall, a successful project.
