:D A Happy Crazy Christmas to Everyone

Channel Branding Brief

This was college project were we had to design the channel branding for a certain programme. I picked National Geographic and changed it to National Geographic Junior. The video contains the logo Ident, Channel Bug, Break Bumpers, Lower Third Supper and a Menu board. The Break Bumpers and logo Indents have a few different versions. I created the design myself out of various shapes. The menu Board was supposed to be dubbed but I didn't get a chance to record it. I shot all the time lapses myself. It was my first time using a proper camera. The images are from google and the sound effects are all from  freesound.org

Traditional Animation- Final Semester Project

Here is the final project for this semesters classical animation class. I made the key drawings and inbetweens. 

Traditional Animation Line Test - Cat

Here is the finished line test of the cat moving her tail. 

Life Drawing

The first two pages were one minute drawings.  

The next drawings were 15 and 20 minutes. For those ones we had to start the figure with drawing oval shapes. 

Time-lapse

Here are a few clips of the time-lapse Videos I made last weekend. They are for the Channel Branding project on which the class is currently working on. I was a bit unlucky with the weather on Friday and especially Saturday but thankfully Sunday was a nice day. Considering it was my first time using a proper camera and making a time-lapse, I don't think I did too bad.

Final Rough Logo Idea

 The above images is going to be the logo for the Channel Branding Project. Everything that is black like the elephant and the typography will be white in the actual animation due to a video that will be played behind it. I only have it black right now so I can see it better when working on it. I am still not quite sure if the elephant should e more centred in the yellow box or a bit more to the side.  

I was just trying out different typography for the word Junior, but none of them worked. So in the end I picked the one in the above image. 

Life Drawing

The first two were 1 minute drawings. 

The next four sketches were 15 minute drawings. For the last ones we had to focus on the oval shapes within the human body.

Traditional Animation Line Tests

I apologise for the huge Flip Book watermark but I haven't bought the programme yet. Most of these are just exercises to help me become a better animator. 

Bird Flying

 Perspective Walk 

This was probably the hardest exercise so far. It's still not right. I will have to practise it more when I have more time. 

 Unfinished Cat moving her tail

For the cat one I completely forgot that the tail still has to move back the other way to make a full loop. I finished it yesterday but I wont be able to put it up for another while yet. 

 Unicorn running

 Tiger Running

The tiger will be part of my final semester project for the Traditional animation classes. It  doesn't have to be long it just needs to be accurate.  I have most of the animation done I just need to add a secondary action to it.
