26.11.2024 -  11.1.2025 (Week 10 - Week 15) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Advanced Animation - Final Project INSTRUCTION Final Project: Action Animation This final task is a bit more complicated. So, we are required to make a full-action pose and use camera play to make the pose. At first, I focused on making the animations and brute-forcing the faulty ones. But then when I saw on MyTimes, there are many things we need to do, as we also need to make separate files for blocking, polishing, and final. By the time I noticed this I already reached the polishing phase so I just worked a bit backwards, deleting frames that are not extremes and tidying them up a bit, and then changing the interpolation type to constant to make the graph straight. Blocking For the blocking part, I focused on keyframes that are considered extremes and then made them into constant. This helps to ...

19.11.2024 -  11.1.2025 (Week 6 - Week 15) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Advanced Animation - Project 2 INSTRUCTION Project 2: Jumping Animation fig 1.1 Instruction This time our task is to make a single jump animation, which is moving forward instead of just jumping in place this time. Sir Kamal also mentioned making the jump a bit more exaggerated to make it more cartoonish. Other than that note, I honestly didn't make much of a difference from the ones I did in the walking animations. I just used the extremes in the animator survival kit as a guide and then applied all my keys there.  fig 1.2 Jump animation guide I inserted all the extremes and then when I checked, as expected I noticed some bones move a bit weirdly. fig 1.3 Adding extra keyframes to maintain the limbs ...

29.10.2024 -  11.1.2025 (Week 6 - Week 15) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Advanced Animation - Project 1 INSTRUCTION Project 1: Walking Animation In this task we are required to create a walking animation with the Snow Model . We are required to make 2 versions: the vanilla walk and attitude walk. Fig 1.1 instructions Mr Kamal told me that it takes 13 keyframes to create 1 step, so after adding all the extremes, they all have 3 keyframes gap. Mr Kamal also advised us to make our key location as clean as possible to create a clean animation. This method is also useful when the model is not walking in place. It helps to make sure each step distance is the same. (especially in my case because I didn't know we only needed to make a walking animation that walks in place.,. Fig 1.2 Adding extreme po...

4.12.2024 (Week 11) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 11 INSTRUCTIONS Week 11 This week is the submission week for tasks 2 and 3. I am falling behind but tried and managed to catch up on the deadline. During the meeting, I was still in the middle of gathering assets, and since sir encouraged us to just present our progress, I presented mine and said it was good enough. But he also mentioned that my method of doing my assets in Illustrator might give me more work and so he showed me how to transfer the work to Photoshop. Through his tips and also my trial and error I managed to know the best way (that I know so far) to make my assets. Exporting the assets one by one doesn't work that well because the size and placement is all messed up. But if I copy them to photoshop canvas of the same size and save it, it works just like if we do it all in Photoshop (though some effects like gradients that didn't g...

18.12.2024 (Week 13) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 13 INSTRUCTIONS Week 13 This week we had an online meeting to consult of our final project ideas. I showed Mr Fauzi my storyboard that wasn't finished and he told me to make sure that the final output was not gonna be a sliding presentation, which I assured him won't He noted that the marking will be based on transition and keyframes, and he also gave us some videos that we can refer to for guides and examples.

27.11.2024 (Week 10) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 10 INSTRUCTIONS Week 10 This week we had another online meeting where Mr Fauzi checked the progress on our tasks 2 and 3 since the deadline is next week. He also gave us some tutorials regarding motion tracking. I was trying to catch up with my other assignments so I didn't have any progress. But Mr Fauzi strongly encouraged us to show the progress that week so he can see that we're going in the right direction or if any changes should be made. He also noted that it's gonna be hard to appeal to the other management if we don't show any progress if there is ever a need for it.

3.1.2025 (Week 15) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 15 INSTRUCTIONS Week 15 This week is the last official week of the semester. Our usual class on Wednesday is not available because it's New Year, so Mr Fauzi made a replacement class on Friday Morning. We used the meeting for final consultation and also let us know of the change of the deadline to January 7th. I actually ended up finishing on January 8th, which I'm not sure if it's still okay or not. But I had trouble with my laptop because the file was really heavy and it didn't help that I had to open multiple Adobe app at the same time to transfer my work. I managed to finish everything with no big issues except for the part where I finished 3 hours late.

20.11.2024 (Week 9) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Week 9 INSTRUCTIONS Week 9 This week we had an offline class on campus. Mr Fauzi gave us some more explanation regarding channel bumper and channel ident. He also mentioned that the deadline for both tasks will be Week 11. Besides that, we had a chance to consult regarding our channel identity and bumper. I thought of making something related to Valorant, but I was a bit lost on what to do. I was planning to make an agent showcase but I haven't got a clear idea of what to do. I had a very rough sketch of what I had in mind for this time. fig 1.1 Rough sketch plan for channel bumper

6.12.2024 - 7.1.2025 (Week 11 - Week 15) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Motion Graphics and Compositing - Final Project: Abstract Motion INSTRUCTIONS Project 4: Abstract Motion For the final project, we will synthesise the knowledge gained in tasks 1, 2 and 3 for application in task 4. We are to create a theme-based abstract motion graphic video that consists of a good audio visual say it in 3D/2D, mixed media or any experimental visual output that has a strong theme. Making the Concept and Assets My idea is actually inspired by myself, who is someone who has a strong attraction to magical fantasy places and stories. While the concept is decided and I'm kind of hell-bent on making it work, It also took me some time to figure out ...
