I spent more time on this week's exercise and did numerous iterations with texture, coloured texture and light for a cat walking animatic and a tram and light movement animatic for one of my IOL project's scenes.
For the cat animatic, I did a few iterations starting out with a line art animation of a cat walking at an angle. Afterwards, I stylised it with texture and added colour to the texture. The coloured texture requires more shading to add depth and definition to the cat's physique but I think the texture already adds a fair amount of texture. However, I am intending to pursue a more monochrome colour palette so colour may not
For the tram and light animatic, this is to intended to be placed next to the cat walking on the side walk. The tram's light is intended to reflect the right hand side of the cat. I iterated variations of until I ended with using a circular glow with the light intensity getting stronger the closer it go to the right edge of the screen.
I will be working on refining the animation as a whole, focusing on the cat and tram movement. I ended up with a rather distorted but quite stylised perspective of a sidewalk street as the background environment and I will doing a few warping tests to see if I can further enhance this aspect.
