A blog about the neverending learning process in Animation
Composer: RockeyKeting
Animators : Karolina Bielskyte ,LuisaCruz, AlexCoad, EwanSchwarz. Location: Shoreditch Town Hall, THE DITCH, Old Document Store Running time: 1:30s. ​ Our video projection idea is based on the door that leads from Old Document Store to Rivington Room. We used this opportunity and create a site-specific animation that was projected on top of the Old Document Store door and the sidewall with element from the Bauhaus art movement. The annual collaborative project with the Royal Academy of Music which involves collaborating with composers to realize a site specific experimental music film. The project was based in the Three Penny Opera from 1928. We used two projectors to cover the wall with the door and the corner of the wall on the right. ​
I had the experience of my grad project which was a two video Installation Art.

30- 40 minutes speed-painting focusing on studying composition and color. from real life and also famous movies. It is a way of also warming up to start working on other projects with more energy and focus! Character Thinking. Animation inbetween done in photoshop of the three first keyframes All the keyframes with the timelines.
If something i enjoy of learning in traditional drawn animation is the habit of numbering the frames. (and it also makes timing easier) Reference: I took video reference for makings believable limp and not make it look like an animation mistake, that can happen quite often with limps) Video reference -> making the walk cycle a Loop -> add details I made a quick sketch of any variation I could think for a corpse. Main Selection: I choose the designs that where closer to what I was looking and more appealing. I like the idea of this magic - spirit light inhabiting a corpse For Animation: testing the pipeline Thinking about the animation, how I had a deadline to submit it and that I could only work in photoshop I tested for a way to color while saving the major part of inconsistencies and to make no background. Animation Clean up: It is a long process, but the best way is to go by steps in all frames While doing it, I keep checking how is it looking without any background and also correcting things I find looking weird from the previous steps. (I think it could be more efficient with some adjusts from the beginning) Screenshot of how I animate in photoshop. The Key is having the correct actions in the keyboard and a lot of patience for keeping the layers organize The Mask of the Necromancer The mask is an artifact used to revive a corpse moving it by its bone; the mask generates and artificial breath of life that inhabits the corpse until it falls apart or the mask is taken away.
