24th Day Of Intern

  What I mainly did today was doing the movement of the elephant which is Daisy running toward. Before doing this I have done a research on how an elephant run so that it won't looks weird while running. I found out that the when the elephant run the bottom part of the elephant leg move the most. Besides, the movement of the elephant I have separated the running cycle layer by layer so it's easier for me to animate it.

  Instead of doing this, I also did some touch up on scene 29, which is Cheese girl walking toward. It's looks much better but I just still felt it kinda weird anyway.

23th Day Of Intern

  What I mainly did today was creating the action of the character in scene 30 and also done touched up the previous scene which is scene 28.

 Scene 30 it's the scene that the elephant, Daisy running toward them. So both Gloria and Cheese girl got shocked. After I done the action on scene 30 then I start touching up scene 28.
  Scene 28 is the scene that Gloria and Cheese girl walking toward tiredly. I got problem in animating cheese girl and I try to create the leg of her legs again. It's getting better then the previous one because it din't looks like she was sliding forward.

22th Day Of Intern

  I did some research on how the animal running toward from few videos. It taught me on how the leg move and which frame the leg should move like. I found out that the elephant movement is more clumsy then other animal like horse. Their leg din't lift up much when running due to it's heavy weight. There are a few links that I was found were http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vhGGy3i6aA,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZs6Aeq4pvo,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNfXyjJMvm0. The videos tutor me the running cycle and the different of elephant and a horse while running.

21th Day Of Intern

The picture above is scene 30 which is Daisy, the elephant running toward to Gloria and Cheese Girl. The scene is in 1 point perspective and the object nearer will looks larger. Object nearer will looks more brighter then the object further apart.

20th Day of Intern

  Today I started to design the background on scene 30. It's only half way done on scene 30, this scene is about Daisy the elephant running toward Gloria and Cheese girl.The bushes and trees in the jungle it's almost same with the previous scene. I'm trying to match different kind and tone of green color to make the bushes. Besides, I added some light color of bush such as pink color in between the bush so it won't look bore by only using green colors on it. The color of the bushes are going to be darker from far lighter when near.

19th Day Of Intern

  What I mainly did today was done animating scene 29 which is an animal has detected both Gloria and Cheese girl. The picture above is the first action in this scene, which is they walking toward tiredly. After that the bushes and trees behind shaking. Both of them looked right and left to see whether what is that.
  On the other hand, I also learn new shortcut key in using after effect. There are a lots more shortcut key that I don't know.So I did research on using shortcut key. The link that I have found was http://help.adobe.com/en_US/aftereffects/cs/using/WSCEBCDB03-0A9C-459e-873E-F5A10520F24A.html#WS467275FD-7E9C-41bc-8F03-504F35096CD6. It helped a lot in using After Effects.

18th Day Of Intern

  What I did today was design the following scene which is the scene they looking around cause they sense something was coming to them. I did 3 movement per character which is looking from right to left and from left to right. The characters in the scene I did them by using Adobe Illustrator and the layers were separated so that I could import them as layer into After Effect.

17th Day Of Intern

  In the 17th day of intern, what I did was done animating scene 28 on the 7th page. It still needed some touch up because I'm not satisfy with the movement of Cheese girl. It got a bit sliding while she is moving forward.

This is the picture of scene 28. When I was animating this scene I have faced some problem on my software. My software keep on shutting down by itself.
   After done animating this scene then I move on to the next scene which is Gloria and Cheese girl were looking around and realize that they have been sported by an elephant in the jungle.

16th day of Intern

  Today I have tried to animate the characters by using After Effect. I have done animated Gloria in that scene. I have problem in animating cheese girl because her body part are stick together without outline. But I have found a way to animate her. I am going to separate her body part layer by layer to animate it in After Effect.

The image above is how I animate Gloria in this scene. She will be walking toward tiredly and stop. She will take a deep breath after he stop. I separate Gloria's body part layer by layer such as leg, hand, hair and her dress. Dress is the main part for the whole character. 

15th day of Intern

  On the 15th day of intern, I was trying to do the movement of the characters in the scene. Their movement were walking toward in the jungle. There are 2 characters in the scene, Gloria and Cheese girl.
  First, I sketch the movement and size by using Adobe Photoshop. Before doing this, I put the background that I have done yesterday on it. So I could check the size and what kind of angle I should draw.

  The image above is the movement while they are walking. It's moving left and right while they are walking toward.

  The outcome will be like the image above. Gloria and Cheese girl walking toward tiredly.

14th Day Of Intern

  Today I have done a scene of background interface by using Illustrator. The scene that I have did was jungle that full of bushes and trees. Mean while, I have do research for the color for the object that needed in the back ground.

The road of the scene I have follow the style from the vector image that I have found. 

I have used these 2 of the images as my style guide. 

This is the scene of background that I have done. I have put the character , Gloria to check whether it is match to the background. 

13th day of Intern

  What I have done today was done touching up the characters and also done corrected all the mood board for the characters.

I have changed the color of the hat of the character. So it looks much more contrast.

  This character I have remove the apron and increase the thickness of the eyelash of the crocodile.

This is the mood board for the crocodile. The characteristic of the crocodile is evil and not friendly but she is a very protective mother.

This is the mood board for the beaver. He is easier to get angry and realistic.

This is the mood board for the great egret. He is kind and treated Gloria friendly and dint harm them. He is easier to get along well.

12th Day Of Intern

What I mainly did today was present the characters that I have done last few weeks. What I going to do is touch up some of the character and set the mood board correctly. Besides, my team member and I going to create the background and also match the color of the style that given as a guide. Basically we are going to continue the storyboard and animate the story.

11th day of Intern

  What I basically did on the 11th day of my intern was sum up the characters that I were finished. Overall I have done 3 of the characters and I have exported them into jpeg so I could present it page by page. What I have learnt were what I have did research for those 3 of the characters. I have gained knowledge from 3 of the animals character that I have done and also got to know more about them.
  On the other hand, I have improved my skills and able to speed up my work in Adobe Illustrator. Back then, I used roughly 4 days to finish a character design.But now I can done a character design in 2 days. Instead of doing this I also practicing using Illustrator. I get to know more on using gradient and stroke on my  object. Different kind of strokes and colors could get different feel and style of the object.
