Fire Animation

Fire Animation

I went back to animating a fire then imported the footage to After effects, experimenting with the effects on the animation to see how it would make it more 3D, using it light and blur effects. 

Taking some slight reference from a video and looking on a few tutorials to see which effects would be more advisable to a animated fire. Using Gaussian blur, glow, sharpen and vibrance effects and all of have made major changes to it, making it seem more like a flame than it was before. Being able to produce effects in way that is quick and useful to make, just by adding them to the flame.

Fire animation - No effects


Fire animation - Version 1


Fire animation - Version 2
Fire animation - Version 3

Fire animation - Version 4
Fire animation - Version 5
Throughout these version I have been adding and adjusting the effects seeing how much of differences their is between each of these footage, version 1, 2 and 3 seem almost similar with each other but only having a slightly different from the lighting. Version 4 and 5 are the only two that have the most noticeable difference from the other versions and that have a brighter inner fire. I have become more interested with the effects from the software and I will continue to work to produce more animation effects.

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
