REFLECTION

This project has been a wild ride for me. Not only does it push me to my limits, but I also learned a lot of new things about myself and my skills.

First, as a perfectionist who still lacks the skill to draw complicated angles, I found it very challenging to give the drawing output that I desire to be consistent throughout the whole work. Some angles took me forever to do, and some still look weird even in the final output, but I had to settle it at that for now due to the time constraint. This is also one of the main reasons why I often fall behind my own schedule throughout the whole project.

However, sometimes, when I just had to make myself believe that I can make it, there are some drawings that appear to be nicer than expected, and I was very proud of that. I was also sort of experimenting on a lot of things, be it the app that I use, the animating process, and even the post editing, and although it was a wild ride that stressed me more than I expected, I managed to learn so much from this project.

I believe my project is still far from perfect. There are probably better angles, colouring, or even sound design, but I am still lacking in a lot of things. But this project has definitely given me a challenge for myself that I am proud to be able to finish.

22.4.2024 - 7.4.2024 (Week 1 - Week 3) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Animation Fundamentals - Exercises INSTRUCTION Exercise 1 - Bouncing Ball In this exercise we are to practice doing a basic animation of a bouncing ball. We will practice on how to make the animations frame by frame, as well as applying the "slow-in" and "slow-out" on the ball movement to make it natural. Setting Up Since this is out first time using Adobe animate, we were given direction on what to do. So first, when you click "New File" there are several presets we can choose from. This time, we are to use the HD preset. We just had to change the frame rate to 24 and leave the rest of the default settings, end then clicked "Create". fig 1.1.1 Setting up Adobe Animate, week 2 (30.4.2024) When the setting up is done, we are given a blank can...

24.9.2024 -  12.11.2024 (Week 1 - Week 7) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Advanced Animation - Exercises INSTRUCTION Exercise 1: Bouncing Ball In this exercise we were instructed to make a bouncing ball animation for several types of ball: Soccer ball, ping pong ball, bowling ball, and beach ball. For week 3 deadline, we're only instructed to make a solid non-stretch ball since the squash-and-stretch ball is gonna be taught in week 3's class. First off we were taught the basics, including how we can apply a bone structure to move a shape to it's desired form. This technique will be useful when we need to apply complicated forms like a full body character. fig 1.1 applying bone to a shape Now we proceeded to learn how to make a basic bouncing ball animation. In class, we were taught step by step on how to make a soccer ball bounce animation. PROCESS Soccer: First, we need to determine the location of the camera and how w...

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 ...
