Learning Outcomes

Overall I am happy with my cell animation and its outcome, hopefully it will get a few laughs from the audience. I believe that this project was certainly challenging for me because I found it to be very hard work, you need to have a very logical approach to animation and i think i have tackled the problems that i came across very well. I found this project to be an eye opener for myself and I believe that I am not cut out for animation but now i i really appreciate how much work animators do to produce a piece of work.

Final Animation

This is my final animation piece. I hope you all enjoy it!

Music Trimming

Here I have trimmed the selected part of my track, hopefully it will fit well with animation.

This is the soundtrack in full, hopefully from my calculations I would have cropped the right bit to fit with my animation.

Individual Scenes

Jump 1

Jump 2

Jump 3

Jump 4

Space Jump

WTF

Space

Thud

Melting

Oh No

Here I have uploaded my scenes onto youtube, hopefully when i put them together it will create the animation that i had planned in my storyboard

Space Background Design

Here is the space background, I wanted to keep it very child like and rough so it would fit the style of my animation - hopefully it will work and fit in well.

Space Research

Here I have done research on space images as i have changed my storyboard to where the ice cream jumps into space, so i need to create a space background and hopefully this research will help me make one.

New Storyboard

1. All Dancing - Tribal Jumping

2. John Travolta ice cream does a really big jump.

3. Tribal ice creams are like - "where has he gone"

4. John Travolta ice cream jumps so high that he's in space.

5. At the climax of the song where it ends, this appears because John Travolta ice cream has fallen down.

6. He starts to melt away

7. Then there is a mixed reaction from the ice creams

Final Character Design

This is my final character design, after looking at my research I have come up with suitable and fun characters for my animation. I have considered the colours the ice creams should be from my research and the tribal attire that they are wearing.

Kawaii Ice Cream

Here I have looked at ice creams and kawaii ice creams, this was to help me choose my colour palette for my ice cream characters. As you can see they have used a lot of pastel colours and I will use the same idea for my characters.

Kawaii Research

After looking at my initial storyboard, i thought that my characters were very similar to the kawaii style. So I thought I would have a look at some kawaii images and see if I could apply some techniques to my own images. 

Tribal Clothing Research

This research will help me design clothing for the three ice cream characters.
