Drive Link

I posted the link before, but just to make it easier to access, here is a Google Drive folder wich contains videos, images and additional information regaring the projects from Year 3.

Portfolio & Showreel drive link

I created separate folders for each item in the Portfolio and Showreel brief for easy access.

Here is the Festival Pack PDF. I will add the link for the trailer later on.

Possible Title card

This is a possible title card idea for the FMP. I might change it if I find a better one.

It is just a DRAFT! If I decide to go with this idea, I will animate it better.

8'th of May Hand-in WIP

Above you can see the current version of my Final Major Project Film "Colours of Love".

I tried to add everything in, but I am missing quite a few elements. I will change the intro, refine it and fix the distortion AE did to the file. I have to properly animate the feather, as currently, it is just a placeholder. I am missing a few backgrounds. I have to finish colouring and fix some lining. I will add more effects and pay close attention to details. I have to fix the ending and add a credits sequence. Also, the music is not finished. I will have a better soundtrack for the graduation show.

Showreel

After the crit, I took on board the feedback and added a few more shots from my FMP, deleted the middle scene and extended the last shot.

Programs

I animated almost the entire film with Photoshop.

I animated the background transitions with After Effects. I also used AE for other effects and purposes.

I used Procreate for the backgrounds and other draw-related elements.

FMP Progress

I am quite pleased with how this scene turned out.

I animated the character in Photoshop, then I created some textured PNG in Procreate for the wind atmosphere, and then I imported everything into After Effects, where I used a twirling effect and A LOT OF MASKING.

I am very thankful to Steve for his tutorial on using masks! It helped me achieve some interesting effects.

I might re-do it if I have time.

Grad Assist_3

Here is one of Stefania's background transition edits that she did for my film. I liked the idea of the twirling effect. Unfortunately, I didn't end up using her edits, but I was inspired by her idea to create my transitions.

Below I attached a link to the Google Drive folder I created for my Grad Assist team.

Grad Assist_2

I finally got a reply from Holly, and the animation looks amazing! I am very pleased with how the fire was animated. Holly respected my indications and my sketch to perfection. She did an amazing job. I will, later on, incorporate it into the animation with the finished character rendered and then edit it in After Effects.

Poster Ideas

This one is not yet finished.

COLOURING.....

Colouring the scenes took so much more time than I initially anticipated. I have to hand colour everything in or trace an outline, fill it in and then fix the borders… For the elements that have a more defined shape I use the border-fill technique, and for the more loose shapes, such as the hair, I hand-colour everything.
