Major Project - Year 3

[jadedoesmp]

Colour Affects: your mood, your behaviour, potential clients' perceptions of your company, sales of your product, purchasing decisions, the atmosphere in your home, the atmosphere in your workplace and therefore stress levels and absenteeism.

Wanted to find the emotional connections to colours for use in my animation. It wouldn’t be a good reflection on the charity if a very negative colour is used to show happiness, and vice versa.

How to Use the Psychology of Colors When Marketing

When 85% of customers claim that color is their primary reason for buying, color psychology becomes key. Here's an explanation of the psychology of colors.

A very good source for colour theory and psychology in advertising and marketing. Interesting to read and makes sense, such as the colour red creating a thought of urgency.

Looking at unusual and/or genderless/cultureless characters for my project, as my tutor suggested maybe using a brain or robot as my main character, which I hadn’t previously thought of.

This animation is very eye-opening for anorexia and mental health. It’s great to hear what she went through, and how she has learnt from it looking back. Plus I like the idea of the audience being able to see the drawing process, which is something I am considering doing for my project.

My love of video games mixed with an animation? Perfect video right here. I love how GetMadz’s animation style is a lot different to the ones I’ve been viewing lately of animated stories.

A videogame I have played in the past. This advert appeared whilst waiting for an animation by GetMadz to appear. I love the style of it, and how much it engaged me. It is comical and knowledgable for new and old players. Simple, yet effective.

Definitely one of my favourite video now. I own a DSi and would sometimes use the FlipNote app on it to create short animations. Later I obtained a 3DS and used Colors 3D, as well as Art Academy DS as I loved the whole “portable nature” to it all. All I needed was my games console, which took up a lot less room than paper, pencils and other stationery. I still use Art Academy on my 3DS XL and Wii U though, as I am still a huge Nintendo fan.

Thanks, Adam

I found this video very insightful. Rebecca (the creator’s real name) told us the software she uses to animate, and why she animates in a certain style. Her journey is quite inspirational to me.

I love all forms of animation, but there is something unique and special to stop-motion: it’s more real and the set is lit like a set. But I think it’s also a kind of lonely and dark thing to want to do.

Computers don’t create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.

There’s always room out there for the hand-drawn image. I personally like the imperfection of hand drawing as opposed to the slick look of computer animation.

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon’s unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.

The 5 Types of Animation - A Beginner's Guide

This guide is a breakdown the five different types of animation available to you, and what you’ll need to start animating (software, schools and more.)

Finding this a great source for researching different types of animation. Hoping it will help me with deciding which style I might choose.

It’s great to see the development of what we consider “professional artists” leading up to their careers. It really gives you inspiration and motivation if you feel inadequate, knowing that you’ll get better.

Been watching videos whilst doing my work in college. I love this video as I feel that it is very relatable for a lot of people, as are most of the video on  Let Me Explain Studios, Jaiden Animations, TheOdd1sOut and others in the same sort of circle. Love the collab with a member of Drawfee too.

The whole “singing to cope with stress and anxiety” in this video is definitely something I am close to, as it is one of my coping mechanisms. I hope to appeal to a wide audience like these animations in my own.

[jadedoesmp]

Love the creativity of these Drawfee videos! Plus  Let Me Explain Studios joined them in this episode.
