Gray scaling/Shading


Gray scale


Taken multiple photos and gray scale them to examine how the lighting reacts to the area, how it affects the environments in terms of it's tone and the different between each hour of the day and night. Using the photos that I've take from a few days an others from the past. 




















   
Looking through each photo and seeing how the brightness is displayed and the lighting affects the area, where certain parts of the surface may look clear and bright while other may look a bit faint and darker, that the sun is aiming in that direction in that time from viewing what parts are projecting the light source facing towards the sun and what isn't. The brightness scale also shows what time of day it is even with the clouds which could invoke what the weather is like just from viewing the image. 
It also help me to know how shading would work within my drawings

 It also help me to know how shading would work within my drawing, picking one of my previous drawings to have some shading and the results were quite effective making the sketch look more 3D, the generally direction of where the sun is coming from and how shadows react to the environments, involving the trees, house, pillar, surface and the character. where some of the shading would be misplaced on specific surfaces that different shapes and size, misplacing the shadow in a different area. With the added shading it make the drawing look slightly better than before, though it took quite sometime to getting all of the shading done because how much stuff there was in the drawing and trying to make sure that the shadows are not misplace and are the correct size. Also some of the shading may look  a bit off and might not match with the direction of the sun with the other shadows and that more referencing and experimentation may need to be further improve my skills with lighting and give me a hint as to how colours would react to shading as well.

After version 1


After version 2
The other sketch came out looking appealing with the added shading having some extra bits of layer to the area and character to make them look more 3 dimensional giving a clear feeling of what time it is and how the area reacts to the sun's brightness. Much similar to how the previous sketch is presented and how much shading can make a change, though the first version I was to sure of certain parts of the trees and felt that it had way too much shading on them and changed in the second version and look a bit better but still need some work, overal I am satisfield with the end results and hope that my skills improve over time and that they bring a good sense of the location in terms of time and weather conditions.

Lip Sync

Lip Sync Where I have animated over a audio clip with just one line, the voice over chosen for this is the 'Oh yeah' from the music video of 'Oh Yeah' by Yello mainly because of how these two words have be given a bit more time and how certain sound of them are slightly silent. The other video at the bottom has a small sample of just having the line when I was searching through Youtube and have downloaded it through a website by the converting the video to a MP3.  In order to sync the animation with the voice over I had to look over a mouth chart and a few others to see if there are any slight different from each other. Examining through these charts I begin to see that some mouth movements would sometimes have have the bottom or top and tongue either appearing together or separate to correspond with one of the letters, though there is a fair amount between the top teeth and tongue together siding with both the top and bottom t

Cass Study - Overlap Festival

Overlap Festival Animation Show & Tell This is a new festival set up by Louis Hudson, where many animators would come and show and tell about the few animations they are presenting, where any veterans or students who have currently studying or graduated can submit their works and have no more less than 1 second of animation, although the festivals had one guide line that was the theme that is based on ‘Faces’, however most animation shown today went over the theme and displayed various different styles and themes. The animators that have submitted were Fraser Ntukula presenting two submissions, Jim Howells with his visual style with 3D animals, Josh Leach’s abstract paintings coming to life, Shiyi Li similar style to Josh Lech along with a brief video about herself, Greg McLeod’s informative line art video, Nina Noon’s dark humour of moving and meeting new people, Al Leeming strange and ominous video, Matt Waruszynski’s sexual fruit, Ross Butter’s crude ch

Cass study - Hilda

Hilda Character rigging Analysing animation with character rigging was a challenge seeing how the principles are used through this tool, looking over a few scenes from Hilda a cartoon series that follows a young girl who live in a small town filled mythical creatures, the series was animated by Mercury Filmworks studio and it is an adaption to the comic book series created and illustrated by Luke Pearson.   Beginning with looking at Hilda’s character design, seeing that she has various clothing and where I would examine her main outfit which are a red jumper, yellow scarf, a beret, red shoes, black trouser and a teal colour skirt. How the rigging is done is by creating each body part, facial part and clothing separately, so that the animator would be able to animate all the parts of the body cutting down time and cost and be able to deliver high quality smooth animation. From here I need to see how each part foll
