Animation 1 - Wk 11 - Group Project Production

For the group project, we original had 3 members, me, Jiun and Yoori. When coming up with the animation for the theme cooperation, our main concern was come up with a concept that was simple and was 30 seconds long. So, we all just said some random idea until we came up with a bunch of letters spelling the word ‘cooperation’ as they are cooperating to save the letter y and Jiun ordered some fridge magnets.

While coming up with the storyboard, Spencer came into our group and we end up creating our own version of how the story world process and choosing the shots that looked the best for that scene. In addition, we all contributed on creating the design of each character. I designed C, P and E, Jiun designed R, A and Y, Yoori designed OO and I and Spencer designed T, O and N. Once we had our storyboard, me and Jiun started cleaning up the storyboard using photoshop, Yoori used premiere pro to edit the storyboard to be 30 seconds and Spencer was supposed to make the character sheet on photoshop, but he ended up not doing anything since he didn’t have access on the computer, so Yoori ended up creating the character sheet.

During this week’s lesson, Spencer was not here and was not replying to any technological form of communication, so we had Guy as a replacement. Jiun was the one who designed the production plan and told us that she will transfer the plan onto a website called ‘Trello’. Also, since the magnets did not arrive this week, we decided to start animating the character’s eyes. Me, Jiun and Yoori started animating the character’s eye to make them blink while Guy, since he has no knowledge of the program photoshop, ended up making the ‘Let’s Rescue’ sign for the film. I animated C, P, E, O, X and T eye’s blinking animation, Yoori animated OO, I, N, Z and A, and finally Jiun animated Y and R. 

For next week, we plan to start shooting the stop-motion and then edit the images so the letter have eyes and finally, if we have time, add voice recording and music.
