slowly but surely.

For our tutorial today, we were taught how to create the flash folio, basically animating the buttons. With prior knowledge from Imaging Our World two years back, it went on rather smoothly without any hiccups! ;)

Anyway, with the feedback from the posters and still productions that was submitted last week, the main challenge that I am facing now is the better integration of the characters and the environment, which proves to be a very critical factor in improving the realism of the animation. Also, I am working on improving the graphics, particularly creating a fiercer and scarier look for the TV.

Besides, the simpler scenes (for e.g. the Baby's crawl cycle) are currently in progress, and bits and pieces of the animation are beginning to take place! Slowly, but surely.

Final Poster Designs



Still Productions


DVD Case


DVD Case Inserts

Preparing for this assignment was rather fun, dealing with the graphical effects especially. It also drives me to think and consider about ways to emphasize on the emotions of the characters, and to create the dark ambience for the animation. The only problem that I encountered (which is a MAJOR one), is the quality of print. The colours on the initially printed posters turned out to be different from what it appears on screen. (much darker that is) So from this, my advice is to ensure that the colour settings/adjustments are set to the appropriate one. Or at least be sure to finish early to allow sufficient time for a reprint.

Posters-in-progress


This is the initial concept of the posters, with the remaining one featuring the tv's antenna. (Text to be finalised.)

This is the 2nd concept, with closer perspectives and images on the featured tv, in the other 2 posters.

Grr, I guess i have to finalise the concepts really soon since there is tonnes of touching up to do! :o
