Project 2A&B / Walking and Jumping Animation


LECTURES

Week 7:

We have been given the task of animating our character to leap for project 2B and walk for project 2A this week. The presentation walked us through the animation principles and how to animate a character frame by frame. As my character design leans more toward realism than cartoony, I did not place as much emphasis on animation concepts like squash and stress to keep the realistic appearance.  


Week 8:

This week, we got feedback on the walking animation and learned how to animate our character's jumping motion frame by frame. Since my character is a person, I was advised that we sketch the line of action first and also refer to a video of humans jumping. 


INSTRUCTIONS


PROJECT 2A | (Walking Animation)

I started breaking down each frame of a video of a person walking after studying walking motion in order to have a reference before I started drawing. I started drawing the basic animation when I understood the motion, adjusting the location, size, and frame before adding the character's appearance to the initial sketch. I lost the rough sketch but I still have the unrevised sketch without colors.

I attempted to slightly tilt the perspective when walking, but I didn't really like it, so I adjusted it so that the perspective would remain fixed while I kept adding color and animation.

After that, I proceeded with the jumping animation, breaking the pose frame by frame as I looked for references. To make it easier for me to finish later, I created a rough sketch before adding the character design.

I was quite satisfied with it so I proceeded to sketch the outline with the character's appearance, before proceeding with the colors I asked Mr. Kamal for feedback and he suggested that I bend the knees while jumping in the air to avoid making it look like a "ballet" or "hantu bungkus" so I made revision and add some colors to it.

This Assignment really helps me to push myself to imagine a person walking and drawing it frame by frame and movement by movement. I struggled a lot in the first week after receiving the assignment but I watched some tutorials and by the end of the deadline, I feel like my imagination improved.

 June 10, 2022 - July 1, 2022 (Week 11 - 14) Anandya Dewi Saputra / 0354651 Design Principles / Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media / Taylor's University Final Project / Visual Analysis LECTURES Visual Analysis Visual analysis is a method of assessing the ability of a land/landscape indicated by a visual change as a result of human activities, or it can also be defined as the physical carrying capacity of a land/landscape to absorb various development and management activities proposed by still paying attention to the quality and visual character. Visual analysis is a method of understanding art that focuses on an artwork's visual elements such as color, line, texture, scale, etc. Step 1 - Observation the technique of data collecting that enables an observer (manager, expert, analyst) to analyze a specific process and get insight into important process aspects. Step 2 - Analysis Analysis necessitates that you consider your observations and attempt to form claims about ...

September 27, 2024 -  / (Week 1 - 14) Anandya Dewi Saputra / 0354651 Bachelor of Design (Hons)in Creative Media / Taylor's University Design Research Dissertation / Task 1 (Draft Dissertation) INSTRUCTIONS For this part of the project, we are given the task of writing a literature review from 5 articles that link to our research. On top of that, we have to make a literature matrix to create the subheading of our research. We have to check if the article is written by scholars. This methodology section is supposed to explain the research approach, justification, and purpose behind it with appropriate citations. To conclude the review, think about the major trends and the main contributors. How are there gaps in the literature and whether the review should continue and be updated or are you satisfied that any further research would need to take a completely different approach. It is also mandatory to show our progression weekly to our lecturer. Literature Review Matrix At the start o...
