over the last 5 weeks have been really hectic and massive amounts of work was done even though in week 3 animation work was started credits were apart of the work but however over the last 5 weeks animation did take major priority as a whole. mainly due to the time required and the constant changes in the animation as my scene for the animation spanned over 4 different kinds including a few minor differences relating to the 3D model but however my job was to do 2D.

right here is the original work in progress of the animation made with help with my tutors as I did find it fairly challenging to do personally but after that help I was able to gain a idea of what I was planning to do. As originally nothing was planned for the scene and Johnathan as Head of 2D said I could get a bit creative in this part which I did. (week 3.5 to 4)

during the animation I took advantage to get a pre-made parts for the arm giving it three parts. upper, lower and hand. This gave me a much faster and way more consistent feel of the arms and also this gave me a unknown advantage as when I had the hand to draw it was just adjusting and giving fingers to it, a nice bonus in animating. After the first animation was done there was a noticeable problem was that at the end, the hand blended too much with the actors hair and made it fairly hard to see, This ended up deciding as a group with input from our lectures to make this be redone and so i did. (weeks 4-5)

this being a repeated and improved attempt suggested by Keith and since he was leaving the college we agreed as a group and decided to do it as a small tribute to him. I got right into it and created this and keeping the original template for the arms made this process much faster and less time consuming as a result but it still took off a fair amount of time to smooth it and make it flow nicely. after

(weeks 6-7) during this point I was to work on shot 5 after this was finished but it wasn't as more movement was later required and I had to do it so I went off and later Johnathan told that another group member would take over from there to help speed things up. This allowed me to make the necessary fixes needed and I managed to get it out very quickly with maximum efficiency by Friday.

(weeks 8.5) prior to week 8 I was told that the shot needed to be redone and I was ready. But however during the first half of week 8 made it impossible to do and i had to do it on Thursday last minute. as the 3D needed to be reworked on. this was when I managed to get into working on a background for credits, later after receiving the new 3D animation i was to discuss with help from Jerwin and Johnathan on what to do and I after getting all the information I knew what i was to do and managed to pull it off in a few hours with Friday being handed in to the group (noticing just now the audio is acting up but in the school computers it wasn't doing that so i dont know whats happened but hopefully it was fixed in editing)

originally i was to do shot 5 however halfway into the WIP I was to redo shot 2 for the 3rd time and with credits to do also made it very time restrained but later other group members were having alot extra time and Johnathan gave it to Michelle Choi to do but this is what i did prior to it being revoked from my job.
during week 3 animation kicked in a I had to prioritize the animated shots over credits but around week 7 i managed to get enough spare time and quickly used it as a opportunity to give it what I could make and this was it on Tuesday i got approval from almost all of the group who complimented it as cute and even though Michelle Zhen wasnt there i instantly got into action doing the digital and showed it to her on Monday who agreed to it. On the last day of editing i gave the PSD file to Johnathan to help edit with and told him he can do what ever he needed and play with scaling it ect.
on a side note there was a copyright issue with the original font Birds of Paradise and we couldn't do it so we had no choice but to move to a new font and me and Johnathan quickly found a new one called Blacksword.
overall this experience to finish this was quite happy and im personally proud of what both my group and I have finished and accopmlished.
