At the forefront---about the research of the animation which AT THE FOREFRONT

My work of character was study at STUDIO 4. the big camera angel and movement. subjective color setting. stylize character design . all of these are similar to the work of studio 4 which is always present the forefront animation in both Technic and aesthetics.

for example , these blow works are from studio 4 animation picture.

REVIEW----about the research style and resource using --motion graphics and abstract aesthetics research

\

FIRST, this is the shot which I spend lots of time to research aesthetics for. it combines the motion graphics and character big movement, also the camera moving as well.

SECONDLY, these picture were redraw by me. because I need to make sure the aesthetics quality of 2d animation. image impact was very important in 2d animation.

I went to LRC to borwer the art and design book. these image was found in the japan graphic design book. I want to learn the insight structure of the image. so I redraw the image as below.

opposite color and mystery 

                           one corlor circle and it used sign

simple design style, good color in the middle

eye focus on the red 

typography with image and fronts

good color setting in the shadow

neighborhood color

eye focus on the fine shape

create the relationship with different element graphic 

different color on two side

strong red color and highlight with mood 

these image were draw by me , they are form the graphic books in LRC. I try to find the abstract aesthetics of different color and composition. IT ALSO HELP ME TO CONTROL THE QUALITY OF ANIMATION. 

At the forefront--slow down action and typography with image

                     sc-06 finished test and  lighting effect add

the action was slow down in the end of every action. and it speed up in the middle of action. the rules followed the Disney animation way.

this is the animated chart to show the energy flow was give by the spirit . and the character got the power. It is the first time I add chart style in  animation shots. I also found similar chart in animation as a art direction.

the image was found in the TV animation "journey to the star" . it was made by studio "dian" which is a outstanding china animation work team. it is a flash animation, sometimes the shot changed to a animated chart to explain the situation. it is a good way to show some insight situation clearly. and also very interesting for audience.

AT the FOREFRONT---TOWER PAINTING FOR CAMERA PROJECTION

the painting will be used as a texture on the 3d model.

the short sc-05 vesion. 

this is the shadow shapes I designed

refrence from the opening of ps2game heaven sword. I quite like the shadow style, I draw the front shape as moving graphic. 

At the forefront----abstract using in animation short

The video is too fast than I experted.

the effect was good use of my design, test looks good. I just need to think how to adjust it to fit the moveing short. draw the character firstly,then adjust it to match.

short edit ==half finished shot

add the shadow with AE .

The background I was draw as book . I want to evoke the feeling of academic , knowledge, and study. because the story theme was people chase his dream.

complete finished short sc-01 and sc-02

the short I exported with 1/3 quarlity. I add the lighting on the character, I think the lighting is necessary to add for mood.

I was thinking the different style of the whole picture. but now I give up , because it makes it more strange. the idea was more abstract more fashion and postmodernism.

the short I did not add the speed air shell, the file was can not open in AE cs4, I will add it finally in computer room of university.

SENCE PAINTING AND MOTION REFRENCE

the pictruce is form TOI8, who is my best style teacher. the sences in PuPa will show the impact form them.

the painting style was like TOI8. he is very good at painting sence with watercolor style in paint. 

This motion style is what I am looking for. the abstract motion will add move and style to my animation. and I was tring to make it in flash .
