For the My Animated Self project i wanted to show my transition from the start of the year and then show what kind of things i want to do in the future without being too obvious about it. In order to do this i decided to start off with a flip book, then move onto flat 2D animation in flash or photoshop, and then a 3D pendulum in Maya. After this i wanted to have a city built itself up around it.
I faced some problems while making this project, such as;
i wanted the Maya pendulum to have a shadow but i wanted to overlay it simply over the top, i did this by making a virtual studio with a large white sheet that curved in order to flatten the background into pure white, which was easily edited out in After Effects.
The Strobing from the studio lights kept showing up when filming the flipbook section, i fixed this by upping the shutter speed to make it brighter and make the strobing show up less.
overall i am quite happy with the final animation, i would have liked to have added some sound effects as i feel that sound greatly improves animation, however i didn't have the time and couldn't settle on a single idea for sound.
