Progress update

Progress Update:

  Final:

This is the final Blogger about this project so I'm going to review all the parts that i have done before this point. I added sounds to the animation. after that I had some people review the animation I had completed and told me a few key points of which I should change and so I did. Before i go over parts i would like to say some parts that i wish i could have more time on. the parts i wish i had more time on is the character's legs, and when the smoke happens in both parts of the animation, and when the head of the character moves to see the event that happened. the steps that i took was to draw out a character board of a front and back view, then to color and shade him after the story board is completed. after that  it was to make the character walk forward then stop, and make a background for the rest of the animation to take place, then i drew 2 vehicles for the event to happen to catch the characters attention. after that the character turns around and see what happened and then go back and forth from the event to the character till the end of the animation. the parts that i thought were good was when the intro and the outro transition to and from the animation. the sound hook up the parts needed nicely as well. how i used my time to work on the animation was so so i'll say that. on a few parts i could have paid more attention to, but the parts that i spent more time on turned out better then i thought. the final animation will be entered in a event called e-Magine however I don't know if it will make it to the final five, however i like how it turned out but some parts are so so. hopefully the next animation i do will be better. i put the final video at the bottom for anyone who  wishes to see.

Progress Update:

The second scene for the animation is done. I learned to use the different layers to my advantage for the character and a bit in the vehicles. I still need to do a bit of  tweaking on the characters face and when he is walking. However after that I should be able to add sound and do the final render of it. I put some screen shots of the scene below to see.

Progress Update:

 the vehicle is done and imported to After Effects. I've animated the vehicle to move to the side while the character walks on the sidewalk. I've included a few screenshots to show what i've got done.

walking animation

Progress Update:

Finished the walking Animation for the Character. I have screen caps. to show my progress. Now that I am done with the walking I need to work on the vehicles for the back ground to have more relevance to the animation; However i will still be tweaking the legs for the Character when ever i get the chance.

progress update

With the character I imported the files into Abode After Effects to get a feel of where i need to do more tweaking on him. I got the background done, so i don't have to worry about that for the next few days. whats left is to get him moving and his surrounding to change later on.

         The character is done with all the moveable parts that was specified in the outline post earlier. the eyes, arms, legs, and mouths are all moveable parts. Whats next is to get the files into After Effects and start working on the walk cycle for the animation with the parts. My progress is going steady as for now. The next deadline is Feb. 8th. I put screen shots of the character below.
