Final animation again

Just to tie up the project on the blog, heres the final animation again. ENJOY

Process Shots

I've just noticed there isn't a sketchbook hand-in and i have a few things in my sketchbook that i thing are important parts of preparation towards my final animation.

 

I stared with a few words that i thought of when listening to the music

these are some very early ideas. i thought about more obscure work at first.

And here are some images that i drew and found

Figuring out how to sort the background out. explained in a previous post

The 12 cells i had to make the circlular hand motion thing i used in the final video

Robot design ideas

Steam you make see through out the final video came from this drawing i scanned in and painted over

FINISHED!

Here it is. I like it. not loads and loads, but i like it. it's been a very good starting point to get me used to the basics of after effects.

City Cycle

And this is the genius wheel of landscape in action. I've already tried it in my animation and it works well. here it is on it's own

Walking cycle test

Landscape for my Walking Contraption animation

I meant to have a go at making a video using something like this to make a stop motion, and i still might, but for now, i'm using this little handy peace for my After Effects work...

It's simply just a circle with the landscape of a city around the edge. as it rotates, the city looks more and more destroyed. I can make this rotate 360º once in time with the walking.

Final contraption

And here are some of the main pieces that will make the full contraption. i plan on parenting certain points and making some -hopefully- reasonably good looking physics!
