Animation 2A: Week 1 - Development

  For my animation, I chose set my camera in one fixed position and show my two characters from there. They will be shot from behind in a café setting, only showing their backs and never their faces. This was I can dedicate a project to just body language and movement, rather than mixing facial expressions into it as well which would have complicated things further.  With this quick experimental animatic, I demonstrated how this can be done with just positioning and actions. The scene will be shot continuously and have both scenarios in the brief happen at the same time. This way the characters can be shown reacting to the same situations simultaneously and the contrast can be more apparent to the viewer.

Within only the first few weeks of my animations study here, I have found many surprises while creating my animations, the most common of which was my difficulty with simplicity. When trying to animate many of the small projects that we were tasked with, they were all relatively simple and advised to be as such, however I could not help but over-complicate even the smallest of tasks. The results of this were inconsistent too, as some would go disastrously wrong and lead to me abandoning projects very soon, while others worked out very well and with relative ease. With my previous animations that I made before I came to university, I spent much more time on the monotonous stages like colouring, rather than being creative in the initial stages. However, these recent projects have been the opposite. I spend much more time sketching and planning, whether because I am made to think much more about who my animations function or because I have become faster and more used to the repetitive tas...
