Flipbook

To look at a simple form of animation I created a flipbook.




Creating the flipbook
I made this flipbook by cutting up A4 paper and stapling it together. I started with the drawing on the front and used a lightbox to trace the previous page but slightly changing the pupils,mouth and eye shape gradually. I simply took a picture of myself and translated that into my style here. My drawing style is influenced by cartoons,comics and slightly by anime and manga. Notably Adventure Time,The Legend of Zelda:The Wind Waker,and the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels are where I draw inspiration for my style from.

Hand Drawn+video animation

 I used a mix of hand drawn animation in Flash and a video. I did this simply because I thought it'd be an interesting idea to experiment with. I recorded the first video, then took pictures of my arm moving slightly, then recorded again, took pictures and then animated in Flash. I drew over the pictures in Flash and put everything together into Premier Pro to form the whole animation. Storyboard

Collage Animation 2

This was also made in Photoshop and sequenced in Premiere Pro like the other collage animation. I based this off of a  a scene from a show /manga. I used isolated audio from the show and used some images from both the original manga and the show. A large aspect of this animation I think was the sound design. There was a lot more going on than usual as I had music and sound effects,which were layered. They made everything more effective in my opinion. I segmented parts of some of the images to create this, for example I had to separate the arms from the body and then move them myself to create the punching. I also cut the zip out from a separate image of the character used, and copied it multiple times to create the shape of the 7. Storyboard
