pERSONAL PROJECT

Objective

This was one of my first mini-projects where I got to practice the process of creating an animated video. I sketched the storyboards, illustrated the backgrounds, and did all the hand-drawn animation.

Deliverables

sketching, clip studio paint, adobe after effect, adobe premiere pro

Tools

30 - 45 sec animation

Development

This video took a couple of tries to get right. I started with a completely different style and got as far as the animatic phase when I decided to go back to the drawing board. I wanted to understand all the phases of the animation process and for me, the best practice was to start from square one.

Below are the initial storyboards. They stayed pretty consistent throughout the life of the project.

Final Aniamatic

Background Design

I was inspired by the background design of Steven Universe. For the backgrounds, I wanted to replicate a hand-drawn/painted feel with a whole lot of texture and brushwork.

Animation Process

I sketched the initial storyboards in my sketchbook and after some refinement, I finalized them
in Photoshop. From there I created the animatic in the Clip Studio Paint and added scratch sound
effects in Premiere Pro.

The final hand-drawn animation was completed in Clip Studio Paint and then I used After Effects for the final composite and Premiere Pro to smooth out the sound design.
