AGI Studio 1: Week 7 Work In Progress

Week 7

During week 7, I created animatics for my animation project. After consulting with Kate on Monday, I decided to rearrange my story and cut down certain parts. I was only able to cut it down to approximately 70 seconds. It is a story of a pond forming.

I did sketches and created a mood board for my animation project. They were really useful when I was modelling the scene. They gave me a sense of what I want in my scene and how the camera should be positioned. I blocked out scenes with low poly modelling. Some of them will be further refined and some of them will not as I will be going for a lower poly count in this project.

Also, I created the flower-canon prop for my scene. It’s rigged. I already tested it and it seems to work alright. I will still have to test it out more when animating with it.

I planned to finish all modelling in week 8 and try animating the characters for rigging tests. If I couldn’t finish refining the modelling, I will try doing animating and modelling at the same time for future weeks.
