I started of by doing some sketches to plan out what i would like each section of the animation to look like. i also plan on developing these into there own concept piece if the animation isn’t finished in time. I think this will be a good contingency plan as it is still basically the same idea just not animated.
I have been researching how i am going to execute my animation and i found rotoscoping animation. This is where animators trace over motion picture footage to make the animation as realistic as possible without having the study anatomy. I don’t plan on using this for my final animation, however it could be helpful to use footage as a reference as i am not familiar with animation yet. Since my animation is a basic day to day concept i can film videos of me and people i know to get a range of experiences to draw.
To collect primary research im going to have a group discussion at my sisters uni flat as this is a diverse range of people all living in a flat together, I think this will link to my idea well as im trying to portray a range of people investing time in their personal projects and this will be an easy way to find people to interview. I am also able to take inspiration from the layout of the flat, since my animation is through windows it will be helpful to get reference pictures and videos of rooms that are all the same size.
Having people doing different activities is very important since this will communicate the point I am trying to make. The idea of existentialism is that you are responsible of creating your own purpose, I see this as a link to innovation because this freedom encourages people to think independently. And you are independently constructing your life through the decisions you make and the activities you partake in. This is a form of innovation of meaning in your existence overall.
This is an updated schedule now that I know more on how I will go about creating my project. However, since this is my first time making a proper animation I am not 100% sure how long things will take so I have created contingency plan . I also plan to look at tutorials throughout my project on certain tools on animate that I haven’t used within the course yet. I haven’t chosen to do that this week since I don’t know if ill manage to get to the editing part.
WWW-I managed to create an updated schedule that I think will be more helpful to the progress of my project and much more realistic since I now have a more logical idea of what I’m going to do
EBI-I think my research this week would be more efficient if I managed to record the group discussion so i would be able to refer back to it later in my project.
