31/01/2011 - Weeks Plan
Monday:
I'm going to look at various idents on different websites including E4 and MTV stingers.
I will refer to my breif for a list of useful websites which I can browse. From looking at other peoples work, I hope to gain some ideas for my own animation. I will research some professional animators and also look at some amateur animators work. I want to see what style if work is currently the most popular. I feel that I will probably be using Cinema 4D to create a lot of my work for this project, so I need to start looking at other animators that also use Cinema 4D. Aswell as this, I will look at other software that I could use to enhance my skills further, such as Adobe After Effects & Toon Boom Animate.
Tuesday:
I need to start thinking about how I am going to write up my proposal. Having a written proposal will also be a good foundation for me to starting animating from as I can look back at it throughout the project, making sure I do everything that I said I would.
For writing the proposal, I will look at the hand out which will help me through it stage by stage.
Wednesday:
I will start to turn my written proposal into a short Power Point presentation. I will need to think about how much information I can get across, without it being too confusing. It needs to be easy to follow, understand and also easy to look at. I will have to take all of these points into consideration. As with any Power Point presentation, it will be focusing not only on how to get your proposal across breifly, but also the visual aspects. It needs to be easy to follow visually.
Thursday:
Thursday will be soley dedicated to getting my storyboarding completed. I need to have my idea crystal clear in my head, so that it will be easy for me to storyboard. The storyboards will be breif and straight too the point. The animation will only be 10 seconds long, so I need to think about how much of the animation I will actually need to show through the storyboard. I will write up a few bullet points showing the main points of the animation. The most important parts will be the beginning, middle, and end, so I need to focus on these frames more than any other. Once I have these 3 frames done, I will do some inbetween frames to make the story more clear to the client, and of course, to myself. I will use the storyboard as a main referrence when animating my stinger.
Friday:
I think I will start getting some basic character design ideas down, ready for the next week when we start doing all of the artwork for the stinger.
I will also have a think about different techniques I will use, and various effects I can add to make my animation look better. I will look through lots of tutorials for Cinema 4D, in particular, modelling and animating a character, but also compositing my character into a real life background. Also I will have a look through different After Effects tutorials, and continue to look at professional animators work so I can collect some more ideas.
