Final Animation with sound.
This is the final animation with sound.
I have included extra scenes and perspective views so that the animation looks more natural and also has a 3d effect to is.
Animation so far
This is the animation that I have created to this point.
I tried to sync the walk cycle with the sound so that it sounds organic when she steps.
Try 3
This is a sketch that got my idea going, I like this idea of the girl walking through the wood because its simple and it looks appealing.
Backgrounds
These are the background that I have created for my animation as you can see I tried to make the further back mountains darker that the forest. at first I wasn’t sure if I want to keep the tree`s colour dark blue because it looked so similar to the sky but then when I put them together it made this dark environment.
Rough Idea
This is the sketch of the idea I came up with, when I was working on this I realise that I was putting too many ideas into one. I also received some feedback which suggested to focus on one idea from my animation and keep working on it.
In response to that I have recreated a much more simple idea.
Walk Cycle
This is a walk cycle I was working on for my animation. I tried to include a pathway with hills so that I can figure out how the character would move up a hill.
Character Design
This I the final character Design that I will be using in my animation.
I wanted to create a character that has simple face expressions because she will be walking into a dark forest.
Storyboard
This is a storyboard I created for one of the scenes were the character walks through the woods and finds a bridge which she crossed to reach the centre of the woods.
Second part of the Storyboard
This is another part of the storyboard were I was deciding how she will be walking through the woods, as you can see in the scenes I tried to show that the character will be walking into a perspective view and as gets deeper into the woods.
Final Character Concept
This is the final character concept with colours. I tried to keep the characters colours similar to the environment so that she looks like she is part of that world. I also tried to show some contrast between the blue and the red so the character is more visible as it walks through the scenes.
Character Sketch
I tried to keep the character simple by only using simple shapes, this is because I can animate faster.
Bird Storyboard
In this storyboard I was trying to come up with an idea that would make my animation more interesting. I included a bird that the main character will be following through out the animation.
Colour layers of my animation
When I was animation I found out that you can have separate layers for the outlines an colour which makes it easier for the long run. In the end I decided to keep working wit colour on the outline layer because my lines had too many gaps.
Reference images used to create the environment.
These are the reference images that I used to come up with the design for my background. I decided to create a dark forest that has little light coming through branches because the sound I will be using are simple and natural.
Reference for the bird
Because I will have a bird in my animation I had a look at how birds move here is a reference image I was using.
Sound work.
Here I was working on Sound composition in adobe audition. As you can see I merged sounds so that it blends in with other sounds. I also included some echoing because I wanted to create the atmosphere of an empty forest.
Working with Echo and Delay
When I was compositing my sounds together I came across some helpful tools like delay and echo which helped me with arranging the sound in the right place for the animation.

Trying to create a walk cycle
This is a screen shot of how I was working on the in-betweens for my animation.
Trying a walk cycle
Here I was working on making the character walking sneaky.
Term 2 Project
This is my character design for my 2d animation here I was trying to use the similar colour palette as the background to create the characters appearance.
Here i was working on background and colour for my animation and i was trying to decide on which time of colour palette i was going to use.
I Decided to stick with the one that look grey and darker because i wanted to created a mysterious atmosphere coming from the woods.
Storyboard.
This is the story board that I created for this project.y idea is about a creature walking through the woods as the audience experiences the sounds that are in the woods.
This is my final animation with no sound.

Here is a clean outline of the animation that I have been working on.
Character Ideas for animation: Shakespeare & Jack the Ripper
This are reference images that i used for my characters.
This is the experiment i done with the use of rotoscoping in tv paint.
This is my final falling feather task that i found interesting considering I’m not using a character and an object.
This is one of the first task we have been assigned and this is my chewing gum character.
When creating a character i had to think about shape and size because it gives the character personality and identity.
When making my animations i have to think about timing and spacing to make the animation look consistent.
Here are the 3 different objects that i have animated to show the difference between weight.
This is the walk cycle task complete i had to try this multiple times because i wanted to understand it more.
This is my head turn that i have made in tv paint and here as you can see i did multiple ones because i wanted to understand how to space my frames correctly.
