AGI Intensive Workshop-Day1

Hi everyone, I’m Qi. I’ve made a 2D animation in Studio 1, a game in Studio 2, and a virtual environment walkthrough animation with a 2D and 3D animation setup in Studio 3. In this workshop, I want to go back to the 2D animation and learn more about the character’s movement.

Day 1- Plan for folio 1

Purpose: Study characters movement in 2D animation.

Outcome: A animation of the character which will be added to the last shot of my studio 3 animation. The character will be painted in a 3D looks instead of plane cel-shading looks to match the background. The last shot is introducing a series of camera movements such as zoom in, zoom out and rotation. So this animation will be focusing on the perspective changes of the character in the scene.

(The showcase will be updated here shortly)

And two more 2D animation exercises that are not related to studio project.

Vignettes 1:  A character is throwing a question mark kick.

Vignettes 2: The character is doing parkour or free-running across the buildings.

I hope I can do more animations as daily challenges.

Why: I haven’t really studied the movements of characters, so I wish to investigate in this part.

Methods: Producing frame-by-frame animations in Toon boom Harmony.
