Transitional Animation Week 1 Y2


Transitional Animation
Process and Production

Today in our Process and production workshop we worked on creating animation transitions and compiling them together into one animation. We learnt a number of new techniques and I personally really enjoyed experimenting with these techniques to create new things. I often enjoy the After Effects classes, but this one particularly stood out as being packed full of industry level techniques and information. 

I decided to go with a very simple duo-chromatic colour scheme of red and black, the stark contrast really helps bolster the impact of the transitions. I also considered using white instead of red, but ended up preferring the red myself.

C4D Product Prototypes

The final C4D workshop of the year, another shame as I've been learning alot from them and have been really enjoying them.  We started this workshop by creating a bottle, we took a 2d profile of the bottle  and extruded it around a center point.  Creating the cap was interesting, we had to create multiple shapes and connect them, a large exterior flower and then circles getting smaller and smaller in. Then by adjusting the circles z co-ordinate we could pull the shape of the cap out, with some fine tuning the cap ended up looking very realistic. We then added textures, working with reflectance and opacity we created the green glass for the bottle and then used matt textures for the labels and cap. Ontop of the matt textures we then added png labels Here is the final output. Next up was a can, the process was much the same, we took a 2d profile of the can and extruded it around a centre point. We added reflective textures and a...

Convergence

Multidiscipline Interdiscipline Crossdiscipline Synergy Integrated Hybrid Convergence Convergence is a term of ambiguity used to describe the process of change toward uniformity. Specifically in the graphics industry it emcompasses the concept that designers can't get away with being one trick ponies anymore.  The digital creative economy is becoming a crowded place, with more and more people joining every day, a single skillset isn't going to get you anywhere when you're in competition with somebody with multidisciplinary skillsets. It's not a call for designers to become jack of all trades master of none type people, but it is calling for people to be able to do much wider jobs, for instance a graphic designer that can also do motion graphics and web design is of much greater worth to a company than a designer that can only do print.
