^{Presentation for Animade}

_{Project One}

^{Yodel

Music : The big it up Yodel - Igor Dvorkin}

_{A studio I worked for, Titmouse, organises a “5 Second Day” event once a year where each employee can create a short personal animation. They then rent a theater and screen the shorts for everyone to see. For my project I wanted to explore the feelings I imagine buildings would have if they were alive.}

^{Characters and Colour research}

_{I animated the short on paper as a way to keep practicing the medium and because I felt it would fit the mood I wanted for the animation.}

^{Line and colour test}

^{The line drawing is isolated in Photoshop and the scanned watercolor marks are placed underneath.}

^Linetest

^{I kept the actions simple and animated the moving elements of the scenes on different layers.}

_{The watercolor marks are only used to accentuate the action in the scene.}

_{Project Two}

^{Artists Portraits Gifs

Niki de Saint Phalle, Louise Bourgeois and Charlotte Salomon}

_{This project started from illustrations I painted for an art show. I replicated those paintings in TV Paint and animated them to teach myself the software and promote the art show.}

^Research

_{There was going to be a short presentation at the art show so I was trying to pick artists I was excited to talk about. I ended up painting Louise Bourgeois instead of Frida Khalo who is already well representated.}

^{Final ink paintings}

_{I played with the brush settings in TV Paint to replicate the painting feeling and look of an ink brush.}

^{Ink painting vs animated GIF}

_{Project Three}

^{Dr. Jane Goodall

Music: Chad Crouch - The Spring Instrumental}

_{Last year I went to see “Jane” during the Vancouver International Film Festival, a documentary from Brett Morgen about Jane Goodall’s early research in Tanzania. After the screening she was invited to talk about the film and her legacy. I was so inspired by her and her experience that I wanted to make a short animation about what I’ve just seen.}

^Research

^{Brainstorming ideas}

^{There was so much to take from the documentary that I started to write all my ideas down by themes and generate words from them. I then looked at the page and highlighted what I wanted the movie to be about.}

^{Story thumbnails}

^{For short personal projects where I do everything myself I don’t do an animatic but draw thumbnails of each scenes.}

^{Final color and design}

^{For the character I did the rough animation, clean up and colours in TV paint. The backgrounds are painted in Photoshop, the shadows and camera moves are added in After Effects.}

^{Background animation linetest}

_{This camera move was animated frame by frame. To test if it was smooth before adding colours I made a boomerang video of it.}
