67 – Post Production / Compositing 02

Back in our first designs, even we put self shading in character sheets, but we were planning to do shading and highlights in after effects during post production.

As when we were doing some details for closeup scenes, we realized the lack of details in character’s top up. In the end, we decided to do self shading, just to add  on some details in the shots so they won’t look really boring.

  Only…

65 – Animation Progress 06

Oh ya i forgot to post up this sequence, which it took me about 1 week to finish lining.

It was a long progress because the continuation of the character’s movement, and paper dropping animation.

Blocking. 

Rough animation. 

Lining. 

Rough camera movement + Colour. 

Roughhhhhh time to animate this whole shot but is challenging tho.

  AND More colouring scenes completed, and almost done with all…

We finally finished the lining and other animation sequences, and now we reached colouring stage.

Meanwhile SC started to composite the shots that we’re done.

In her dreamy sequences, she is happy to see the bird finish painted and flies out from her paper.

Scene after the previous shot, where her mother enters her bedroom and gives her more homeworks to…

62 – Animation Progress 03

I continue on the classroom scenes, from my previous shot.

In my storyboard and animatic, the other students in classroom will look at Zoe when she got tapped by her teacher.

I tried out only teacher and Zoe animated, but it seems so weird to have them having interactions, but others just static. So I animated the rest of the students in the end.

Before, when it’s only teacher and Zoe are moving.

61 – Animation Progress 02

We consulted one of our lecturer, Raul Garcia yesterday on all our rough animation, he said so far so good but he emphasized on some minor action where we require more delays and consistency in animation.

Example like the previous shot where Zoe was checking on her dress, Raul asked us to add a few more frames in order to break the stiff and mechanical motions.

  Classroom shot 1 are perfectly…

I finished the rough animation as well the lining for the sequence above, it was so hard to keep consistency throughout the lining progress.

  Rough Animation.

Line art of the shot.

    The running sequence is a pain for me but is quite challenging to animate it, most challenging part is playing with the perspective, which later on we will use ae to animate the camera movement.

Blocking of…

59 – Animation (Blocking) 02

More blocking coming in and actually me and Lene already finished the blocking within two weeks time… I forgot to upload all the WIP here so right now just upload them in one shot.

These are the classroom scenes that I finished blocking, meanwhile I’m doing rough animation. Lene will be lining and animate at the same time.

  Some of the scenes need lesser animation, example like eye blinking,…

This short is actuallly my experiment short and I want to try something different from what I have been doing in past few years.

55 – Props Study

Some of the props study all done by me, based on reference photos that SC took from IKEA.

Bed at the right are the one we chose because it represented cages in our short and means Zoe has no freedom to do what she wants in this film.

Some classroom props like tables and chairs, we more towards to wooden kind because most Asian’s classroom are using wooden table chair sets.

Some paintings…

53 – Environment Design

We don’t really do much on environment design because SC prefer to do it one by one based on each scene, but he rendered Zoe’s bedroom design based from mixture of mine and his idea.

    The early stage of Zoe’s room when she was younger. 

Room will be brighter and more colourful for Zoe’s younger stage, because she still has freedom to draw and to show more of her imagination and talented…

  Two figures above show the thumbnails of each scene, with different colours and mood in it.

  Mood flow in Reversion, mood swing down to the lowest when it started from beginning to Zoe’s adult stage in her office scene. Then the colours and mood will increase back to almost top stage which brings happy ending to the film.

51 – Character Design 04

We designed the little girl in a similar design of Zoe’s younger version because we want the silhouette of little girl can remind Zoe on her dream and her passion when she was young.

    The mother design comes with more straight and angular body shape than Zoe, because she like other mother or parents in society, who want their children could work in a safer environment like them, or maybe in…
