The whole song! I finished it :D I fixed all the things I could, asked for some more feedback from a friend, fixed a few more things and here it is! I will show this to Lynn next week for any final comments, but this is pretty much the final piece. It is awful quality though, as I had to render it in low quality to be able to upload it to tumblr.
Feedback!
I have gotten feedback from Lynn and a few friends, below is a list of everything that needs fixing.
Verse 1 - Make the trees popping up a little faster to the music and springing back in place if possible. - Carcinoma bobs a bit, make it stop… - Make Carcinoma split in two instead of falling away and make one part slide off and the other stay. - Untreated Glaucoma… Glaucoma needs something more happening to it… maybe each letter popping in separately? - ‘now I find it hard to see’ needs to be fixed! Move the camera? Make SEE small and have the camera zoom in on it in the bottom corner. - ‘This untreated dose….’ Part should be white. - As ‘has’ comes up into ‘of you’ make it faster and not so flowy. Verse 2 - The doctor sign comes in a bit too quickly I think. - ‘now’ is flowing back and forth, make it stop. - ‘All I see is’ still levitate a little bit, try and fix it. - The ‘O’ of YOU should be gone by the time ‘when we first’ comes in. Verse 3 - You can’t see all of ‘you seemed’, make it smaller. - Have a look at the transition to shallow. - ‘MATCH’ does the flowy bobbing thing, make it stop. - The wiggling of the arrow needs to be slowed down. - It’s ‘BREATH’ not breathe… Verse 4 - ‘you’ should be completely reviled when he stops singing it. - Flower is gone for a frame before the animation. - Maybe make the growing animation as long as he sings ‘grew’? - Melanoma should maybe be reviled in the same way the last organ is? - The letters of ‘never’ could be reviled as you hear them. - Skip the shrinking of the text and have it fade instead. - And have the mole be unmasked only while the mole is growing in scale so that you never see the edge of it. - And finally have ‘on’ and ‘you’ be reviled by unmasking them as well, from middle and out.
And finally, here we have it, the last piece of the puzzle! The end to verse 4!
Sadly it’s not as good as I would like it to be... but I’m unsure how to improve it, to me it just looks dull :/
Tomorrow I will speak with Lynn and maybe she can give some advice.
Verse 4 has begun! This is the first half of the last verse.
Verse 3 is done! Only one left to go before polishing can begin. I plan to finish the forth one before Tuesday so I can get feedback on all of them from Lynn. e Then I will have two weeks to make the necessary changes and putting the documentation together.
Verse three, middle. I am finally feeling like I am getting a hang of After Effects, or at least the parts of it I have been using.
I have started verse 3! And I am quite happy with the way it’s looking.
And here’s the end of verse 2 :) I am quite fond of the ending to this one, though there’s a slight ‘floaty’ bit that I can’t seem to get rid of...
First half of verse 2!
The end of verse 1... I am not very fond of the ‘now I find it hard to see’ part, will change that later on. For some reason I also could not get the masking to work, and so I did something else for now with the ‘untreated dose’, which I kind of like, so I’ll see what I will do about that... might just add some hearts?
Should have uploaded this one first, but oh well, here’s the fixed beginning of the verse. Quicker popping up of trees, growing flower bud and better falling animation.
The ‘crept up on me...’ part now has text! I have also fixed the flower falling animation among a few other things which can’t be seen in this video.
This bit was way trickier to get right... I’ve still not put the text in, and I’m not super happy with how the silhouette moves, but it’s a start... might need to animate him walking?
The first line of the song is done! Or well, the first version of it is done :) Here it is without the introduction bit.
I am probably going to add some effects to the ‘CARCINOMA’ text, but have not yet decided on what. I want to get the first verse done before starting to fiddle with it.
I have fixed the most obvious flaws with the previous test. AND it is not timed to the song! I quite like how it’s looking, though there might still be some minor changes to be made. For example I am considering if it would look better if the flower bud grew from a small one to the one that’s in now, instead of just fading in. Okay, it probably would look better, but the question is, will I have time? I will discuss this and show the video to Lynn tomorrow for some feedback.
Oh! I also changed the colour of the flower animation slightly to make it fit better with the background.
Rose/flower animation is done! Or well, I still need to animate it moving and shrinking in After Effects, but the blooming animation it self is now done. This is not the best quality video, but it shows off it well enough.
the beauty of nature: a rainbow of blooming flowers (timelapse)
I need to animate a flower blooming, and so I’ve been looking at a lot of different flowers to get inspiration and a better understanding of how they all work. I think my flower will look and move a lot like the top one in this post, though somewhat more simplistic.
