New visuals for animation

Here are a few samples of the new visuals that are going into my animation. I'm very happy at how this new style looks and will be working it into my animation very soon!

Flash Crit

Today we had our first flash crit with justin in small groups. The feedback I received from this session was good and helped my to further develop my animation. I knew going into the crit that I was not happy with my animation visuals and that the would be one of the things i would change. Coming out of the crit I've got new and improved plans for the direction of my animation.

Hope it goes well!

Presentation of Storyboard...

Today we presented our storyboards in small groups. We had to say what we planed to happen in the animation from start to finish and what message we plan to communicate through the animation.

Working through the story really helped me to visualize how the animation would look and how I would then transfer that over on to flash. Overall the session was helpful in getting me ready to start animating.

Now is all up to me and flash!! :S

I've also been looking at other story boards used in animation like Monsters INK and the new film Up which all base the animation around a couple of storyboards and character development sketches. It just helped to stresses the point of how important it was that I had finished my storyboard so I could move onto the next stage.

Poster for concept and resources of animation

This is the poster I did to illustrate what I plan on communicating through my flash animation. The animation will be based around the theme CCTV cameras
