We have been given a project to lip sync sounds recorded by students talking about their experiences, to be produced in Flash. I have started by designing some of the mouth shapes in which i will be using for my lip sync. I have made some from side on and some from the front, therefore i can add a bit of dynamic to the characters and have them turning ect while they speak.
I decided i would create my characters based on fast food, as many students love fast food.
Here are some of my ideas.
As i have used fast food characters i would like my scene to be a burger bar. Here is a quick outline of what it will look like.
One of our scenes was to use colour, i used a simple pallet using similar tones. I like the composition on here but colour pencil was probably not a good material to use as the foreground needs to be richer in colour.
We had to create a layout using pencil and tones, i like the perspective on here however there is a bit much detail, as it was for a layout.
The last background we were asked to create was a room with a directional light, i made an abandoned house using light beams from the boarded up window. I used ink and oil pastel to create this, in the original picture the light looks harder.
I might try editing these backgrounds in photo-shop to get a more stylized look.
I made this drawing in life drawing using a blacked out piece of sugar paper (using charcoal) then attempted to use a rubber to pick out the light on the model. I didn't get enough time to finish it but i want to try more of this in my next life drawing lesson.
Well I've been creating some different projects in after effects using the video co-pilot tutorials to help. Ive learn't a lot recently in creating different effects in after effects so here are a few of the projects I've been experimenting with.
This for this, i was experimenting using kinetic type and camera movements, which would be seen in film trailers.
I also created this which was a lot more tricky then the first project i made, as After Effects cant handle extremely high quality images i had to use 8 different images at different zoom levels, which i then had to match them up and parent them to each other. I also created a star background which was supposed to be behind the earth, however this didn't show up when i rendered the project.
I am really enjoying working in after effects and have learn't loads since i started a few weeks ago, especially as i have never used After Effects before.
We did a project looking at human form, to emphasis this we were given the task of replacing the faces, typically the hardest part of a human to draw, with an animal head, therefore allowing us to focus on drawing the figure.
I started out with some simple drawings, (almost line drawings) then used different media's to create different tones.
