The Final Animation

Where I'm Up To In The Animation

I have finished all the animation. All I need to do now is import all the pictures into premiere, adjust the length of the photos and add dialogue, sound effects and music to the animation. After this is done I need to export it out of premiere and import it in after effects and adjust the colour of it by using Leave Colour and draining all the colour except yellow and red, so that the characters can stand out. My animation consists of over 800 photos.

Screenshot of Edit and Evaluation

I imported every shot of the animation into premier and adjusted the length of each shot to 00:00:00:05 to make the animation work and flow together nicely, I do feel it could be adjusted to flow better. After putting in all the shots I added the dialogue, I cut all the dialogue into individual lines so it would be easier to time and put into the animation and make it sync with the animation. After this I added sound effects of gun fire, footsteps to every time a character walked, blood splatter sounds and foley sound of a head/body hitting a wall. 

I imported the finished animation into after effects to add special effects and adjust the colour of the animation. I didn't have to add any blood special effects cause I had used red plasticine for the blood in the shots. The colour effect I added to the animation was called Leave Color. I like how its made the yellow of the characters stand out from the rest of the animation, I like how it makes the the colours feel drained apart from the yellow. I really like how the effect has turned out, it really makes the animation stand out and a lot nicer to look at and different.

Evaluation
Overall I like how the animation turned out I feel it flows together nicely but feel it could flow better. I really like how the colour effect has turned out, its something Ive never tried before with my animations  and feel it stands out from all my others because of this. Planning the animation with storyboards, scripts and listing the shots Ive done and need to do helped me complete the animation quickly and helped keep it organised. 

Rough Cut and Review

Theres still a lot I need to add upon the rough cut, theres still a bit of the animation I need to add. I also need to record the audio and lines for the animation. After the animation is done I will adjust a bit of the colour in after effects. Overall I like how the animation is shaping and the fluidness of the animation, I do feel it could be a bit more smoother and fluid.

P3 Process and Equipment Set Up

I started off by building the set as you can see in the video below. After I had built the set I started off by taking the pictures for the animation using my Canon Dslr, after Ive taken the images I import them into Premier.


Part of the set I have 3 lights shining down on the figures, I have the camera pointed at the figures and attached to the camera I have a shutter release which allows me to take photos without nudging and moving the camera.

 I adjust the duration of the images to 00:00:00:05, having the images at this speed it flows together nicely and doesn't look choppy or jagged,but I don't know how many actually frames per second it is though.
I export the file out of Premier and into After Effects and edit it by draining the colour from the video and just keeping the yellow and red.
