Studio 2 week 1 s3759832 yuxin

Rationale

Motivation:

I want to create an animation where aesthetics and sound are well combined to present a great audiovisual enjoyment. I think the atmosphere of animation is important. The atmosphere of this animation can be warm, scary, tense, etc. The presence or absence of the atmosphere directly determines whether it can give the audience a sense of immersion. How to create this atmosphere, that requires the cooperation of the picture and sound.

Inquiry:

Use the animation aesthetics with sound effects to create a sense of atmosphere.

Context

Many animation shorts do not have lines or human voices. These shorts rely on images and sound to present an atmosphere and ultimately a complete story. Because there are no lines, the audience can pay more attention to the aesthetics.

Methods:

Set the story background
Draw storyboard and character design(PS)
Concept design (aesthetic setting)(PS)
Animation production(TVP)
Doing effects(AE)
Matching sound effects(AU)
editing(PR)

During the first week, I made a mind map I initially conceived my story. The story is another way to explain natural phenomena, romanticizing natural phenomena and fairy tales. I found the animation reference and simply designed the characters.

Some initial settings about animation

Short film Duration: 2:00 ~ 3:00 minutes.
Art style: Bright and warm

Story:

Stars are scattered in the sky river. The boy who picked up the stars rowed the boat and swam across the sky river through the light emitted by the stars. Whenever the people on the ground look at the sky and make wishes, these wishes will become souls, which will be collected by the boy. In return, he will throw a star at the people on the ground. Then people on the ground will see meteors.
