The old man and the sea


Very impressive work did by Alexander Petro. I really like the colors and strokes (or maybe say figure prints?) he used in this piece which gives viewers a strong sense of realistic.I wish I could color my animation like this one.

3rd draft of the creative project


Well... I spent lots of time on the 3rd draft because everything here has been redrawn. There are lots of changes on the camera angles from the last draft. But there is still a 180 degree turn of the camera which breaks the continuity of the images. Also I will fix the scene which the camera is right on the action line. But overall this draft is very close to the final animatic.

2nd draft of the creative project

 


In the second draft, I colored all the images to indicate the color tones that I am going to use for my animation. But I will try to create a crayon drawing style in the final piece. I played with the camera and sence in this piece which I tried to use part of the body to refer to the character. However, the outcome seems incomplete and not so successful as I expected.

1st draft of the creative project

 

This is an animated piece I did for my Advanced Animation class. For this project, we firstly need to use lots of adjectives to describe an event or an environment. And then brainstorming what verbs or nuns could cause these adjectives. By using the verbs and nouns we found, we need to develop a 30 second piece of sounds. At last, using our imagination to create animation based on the sound piece.

Some adjectives I got are yellow, brown, red, blue, wood, cold, windy... etc. So I imagined about someone getting out to cold from a warm place.I'd like to emphasize on the strong contrast between cold and warm, cozy and uncomfortable. And I am also interested in description of human emotions.
