Process:

Ideation:

As my previous attempt to animate in Project 2 was too choking for me to complete, I felt like I was stuck in a rut. The animation that saved me and gave me inspiration was the Into the Spiderverse movie. I thought I could do a scene of Spider Gwen's action time, and was happy to find her rig on a free site. However, there were a lot of things going on in her 30 second long screen time in the movie so I decided to refer to other animations and come up with my own storyboard and storyline.

Storyboard:

Video References:

These were the videos that gave me inspiration for my storyboard, I referenced the angles and poses used in these animations.

Video Tutorials:

I learned a bit on how to composite in After Effects through this, but I mainly learned the important parts from Mr Kannan's tutorial video on Teams.

Reflection:

I feel like I could have done better, especially with the compositing and the animation's pacing. I didn't spend as many weeks on this as I should have, but I tried my best towards the end. I regret not working on it earlier and getting feedback, and even not attending my last class with Mr Kannan 😭. Still, I learned a lot of 3d animation techniques and I'm thinking of learning how to operate Blender during my semester break.

End of Final Project.
