 An animated character into the real world


One  of the ideas I had during the practical exercise on the first session was the idea of an animated character living in the real world. To great something like this requires knowledge on Photoshop, Character animator, Aftereffects and Premiere Pro.

I found a very helpful tutorial from a man working for Adobe called Okay Samurai on his YouTube channel . Tutorial

This project requires the maker of the video to create a new project on photoshop were he would attempt to create his face and body and input that into the character animator. This part of the project requires development and research. To achieve a good result and create a character that resembles you, you need to make some sketches to have an idea on how to create the whole figure. It would be useful to have a picture of yourself in front of you in order to have a good reference point. Furthermore I was able to find an animated character of my self that me and my friend created a while ago. This could be a great reference



Tutorial for character creation

After that the story. The story must be something people will enjoy seeing. A video like this must not be boring but instead be entertaining with a compelling small story. The setting I chose to film the animated character will be my back yard were there are a lot of things my character can interact with. 




Throughout my backyard there are a lot of places where the character can walk on. The movie will take place during the day so that it would be easier to film in the backyard without the help of artificial lighting.

    Good idea for a small animation film - you may want to use Opentoonz to create the animation as this is what some of the animation students used last time and worked really well

Social media have a large impact on how the world around as is shaping and evolving and that is something I want to discuss on my major project.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
