my work :)

2D Motion Graphics

Week 1

Monday: we learnt how to make a ball move in certain positions on Adobe After Effects

Wednesday: we were given an animation of a man jumping and had to animate a scarf on him in procreate based on movement theory.

Week 2
For this task we were given 4 sounds and were told to choose one of them to use as a backing track for an animation we were going to create. I chose the second track and decided to create a looped animation based on some looped mini films we were shown in class. I used after effects for the first two scenes of the apple falling from the tree and the scene where the seed falls through the screen.

Introduction to animation: Week 1

What is animation?

  • Animation is a medium of storytelling narrative
  • Animation is the illusion of movement

Animation generally consists of 24/25 frames a second – better quality usually consists of up to 60 frames a second

Mini movies:

  1. A colour box by Len lye
    1. Really strange
    • Kind of like cells, biology
    • Lots of colours
    • They were kind of dancing to the music
  2. (Stop motion) factual conversations: dimensions of a dialogue by Jan svankmajer
    • Uncomfortable
    • Mildly horrifying
    • Depicts arguments, disagreements, an unhealthy relationships where neither party listens to the other and talks over one another, not communicating properly, just trying to get their point across without listening to each other.

Why are you here?

  • To make people hear me
