Statement of Intention
(outlining Context, Rationale, Methods, Outcomes)
Rationale
My intention of studio 2 is visualizing the feelings of solitude through animation loops. I want to explore how could colour enhance the feeling. Sound will be considered as the main factor to enhance the illusion. The hierarchy of my animation loops is colour, sound, transitions, lighting, movement. I like combining both 2d and 3d animation skill, it's very efficient and works quite well for me in my previous works, so I will keep using this method and learn more related skills to present my work.
Context
- One hundred years of solitude (Narrative )
- Sander Joon ‘Sound God’ (Sound)
- Setoshi Kon (transition)
Methods
- Summarise the circumstance from the book (One hundred year of solitude) and survey about when people feel lonely the most. Solidify the final circumstances to present.
- Pre-production: Initial sketches, storyboard and animatic.
- Use the combination of 2D and 3D animation. Rendering 3D objects through toon shading style.
- Software: After effects and Cinema 4D.
- Production: Animating, gathering feedback and adjust animation.
- Post-production: Rendering; compositing; editing; colour grading; sound record, design and editing.
- Basic Weekly Schedule:
- Week 1: Mind maps, decide the final idea.
- Week 2:Design and survey the circumstances happen among people. Solidify the final scenes to demonstrate. Draw the initial sketch for each scene.
- Week 3: Make mood board and storyboard for scenes, create proxy models, do the animatic first draft.
- Week 4: Animatic adjustment and lighting test.
- Week 5: Camera test, simple animation test, compositing and animatic submission.
- Week 6: Set up the final models and animation.
- Week 7: Set up the final models and animation.
- Week 8: Animating, feedback and adjustment.
- Week9: Animating, feedback and adjustment
- Week10: Rendering, compositing, colour grading and editing.
- Week11: Sound record, design and editing.
- Week 12: Present the final work and do the final adjustment.
Outcomes
Three circumstances of feeling solitude through animation loops.
