This is the final rendition of my film for the – ‘The Escape’ project, I have added the final textures to it. I am happy with how the film turned out as it is more or less shot for shot what I wanted to portray from the planning stages of the project. There are things […]

  Here I have made my final film, using full assets in each shot as well as having the final sound design under the footage, with only missing the textures for the models.

  I created a 3D previsualisation of my film, using the 2D animatic I made as a template for it, keeping the same music and timings for each shot to show the idea in a 3D format.

I created an animatic of what I intend to have in my animation, using the thumbnails, expressions and poses I drew as a guide for each scene.

  Using photo reference I took of my friend, I drew Max in a series of poses that I am planning on having him do in my animation.

  I drew some expression that I would potentially have Max portray throughout the film, using the model I tried to recreate those same drawings to see what I had to work with when controlling Max’s facial expressions.

  Using the colours I previously looked at to convey mood, I attempted to create some environment concepts as  way to show the tone that I want each scene to communicate to the audience.

  I looked at some basic colours I would us for my film environments to help convey both mood and atmosphere. Using dark grey tones for the office and light greens, browns and reds for the forest.

I thumbnail sketched my entire story from start to finish to help give me an idea of how I want my overall shots and compositions to look like. This also will help give me an idea as to what I would need to model for the final 3D film.

  With a rough idea as to what my film is going to be about I created two mood boards for the two different environments my character is going to be in,  A claustrophobic office cubicle and an open path in a forest.   I made sure to get images with a lot of greys […]

  When briefed with the task of creating a 30-60 second film, centered around the theme of escape, after writing out a few definitions of the term “Escape”  I wrote out some initial ideas that I could potentially make my film about. After thinking about these different ideas I decided to go with the idea […]

Planning Sketches:  

Reference images: Planning Sketches:   I found this model to be enjoyable to try and recreate, it was a good challenge to undertake as it has both simple sections as well as more complex shapes and details to replicate. The consoles of the TARDIS were simple to shape and so it was where I began […]

Blocking Stage: Completed Jump:   Planning sketches:

Over the last six weeks of the Animation Production Process unit I have found some difficulties in getting to grips with the Maya software with it being new to me, however by using it repeatedly over the weeks I feel that I have gained some skill in using it and I can now use the […]

3D models posed based on drawings.  

I have created three 3D models from the list provided and have used the Arnold rendering feature in Maya. I have chosen to model and texture two simple models and one complex model, the models being a plate, a barrel and a tower.   Reference images: Planning Sketches:

I have created 3 ball bounce animations in Maya each with its own path and weight, I have animated a soft ball, a hard ball and a light ball.   Planning Sketches:

I have modeled two different swords using Maya and created animations of them swinging as well as a turntable animation. Reference images:  

I have created 5 short animations of a Jet moving to get introduced to animating in Maya, using a pre-made plane as the object of the animations.
