Advanced Animation

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

So at the moment I’m busy tooling with a website layout for this blog, and it has been taking a lot of my spare time. The good news is that it is nearly done, near enough anyway, and should be up within the next few days (cross fingers). I have however been neglecting my blog, and it’s been sitting with one post for quite a while now.

Over the next few days I will be uploading some of my favourite uni projects, and the first in the series is my advanced animation project from third year.

The project was to create a thirty second animation. With unlimited scope as to what medium, style, and subject to use, I decided to make a mash-up of several different styles of animation including stop motion, 3d and 2d.

I used a whole bunch of different technologies to create the effects, including:

  • Photoshop – texturing, batch effects, and general editing
  • Flash – 2d animation
  • 3ds Max – the room, the bear
  • Some fractal program – the fractal projection
  • Final Cut – editing

I uploaded the animation to youtube so check it out here.
