INSTRUCTIONS

 

Week 1 (4/1/2022)

During the first week, we first got into our groups of which mine consisted of; Alicia Teng Yi Ling, Adena Tan Sue Lynn, Adeline Wong Chyn Nee, Chung Yi Ki, Sasilvia Cheong Pei Hoong, and me, Diane Lim En Wei. 

We then started to brainstorm and plan the visuals for our storyboard/animation.

Week 2 (11/1/2022)

We then started to look for visual inspiration, and ideas on how to tackle certain parts of the animation, mainly censoring.

During this week as well, we began compiling references to create our moodboard, of which the results are shown in Fig 2.4.

I then did my own test animation to further visualize my part of the storyboards.

Week 4 (25/1/2022)

During this week we had to create an animatic using our storyboards, of which you can find in Fig 4.1.

We also received consultation and Feedback during this week, so I decided to change one of the scenes seen in Fig 3.5, consisting an egg, of which I replaced with an actual egg taking a walk out of an ovary, along the Fallopian Tube.

Further heeding the feedback, we concluded that our initial division of work can cause a distinct difference in artstyles, so we as a group decided to divide up the work as such;

Sketch- Sasilvia

Line art- Diane

Coloring - Adena, Alicia

Animate- Yi Ki, Ade

Editing- Adena, Yi Ki, Ade

Yi Ki also created an estimated timeline of how long each part of the divided up work will take; 

Sketch - 3 days 

Vector line art - 3 days 

Vector coloring- 3 days (or 2 days)

Animation - 4 days (or 5 days)

Editing- 1 day

Week 5 - Week 6 (1/2/2022 - 8/2/2022)

Nothing much happened this week, it was just the process of; receiving sketches from Sasilvia, and doing the line art of them on Adobe Illustrator

FEEDBACK

Week 4 (25/1/2022)

"Easily visual, character can come in easily. How do you want the tone to be presented. Consistency of art directions. Rely on mood board and art directions. Don’t have to worry about explicit. Plan about movement but simple. Don’t need to be milk. Can zoom out from frame 02-06. Consistency in art. Split thing usually is for comparing. For same things, just zoom in. Have an emotion so that the visuals mean something to us. Info and visuals presented but is missing something. Want to see something from a POV, rather than neutral."

He was worried about the speed and wanted us to create the animatics so we know the flow.  

Week 6 (8/2/2022)

Flow part done by Sasilvia is promising. If this is how it works, final outcome will be good. Very clear in visual and animation. Assign her as illustrator, as long as animatic/blue print is there, how is the group rearranging the tasks. As soon as current is done, animators can continue. Sounds like we are planning very well. Good job

Week 7 (15/2/2022)

Frame 01: omg, its not worth it to make ur narrator lipsync. can we not do that since it's week 07 </3 simple movement, just like the girl, would be good enough. do it simple. 

Frame 11: Subtle & nice. Animated according to contents. Well done.

Frame 14: This is simple. 10-20 mins for lipsync one scene, its ok. Just don't spend the entire night to sync the words. Apply motion blur to the menstruation products.

Frame 15: Nice, things like that, nice. If you have all the scenes done like that, it'll be good work.
