So I’ve begun animating and Im super excited. I think its looking good! Im happy with where Im at at the moment because now I’ve got the whole of tomorrow and the weekend (plus the 3 day extension) to animate. This will allow me a lot of time to animate and then hopefully be able to go back an fine tune / tweak to make sure all the keyframes and key points are timed to perfecting.
So far Ive created the bread scene where the people walk across the screen to get bread. I had to create a small walk cycle for each person, but this was easy because I just needed to make their arms rotate and their body bounce. I then added them into the scene and made a piece of bread or 2 disappear when they walked passed. The people don’t slow down r grab it, the bread just isn’t there once they’ve passed it and it isn’t too noticeable until there a lot missing and you hadn’t even realised. I also added in the text and played around with the fonts, before settling on Gilroy Extra bold (so that it stands out and makes a real impact on the screen). I eventually finished scene 1 and needed to transition to the next scene but this ended up being a lot hard than I had anticipated. I tried a few things out before settling on one but it still needs some tweaking, I’m not too happy with it.
I posted a screen recoding for the first hour of my process when starting to animate. Unfortunately I had to stop recording and then forgot to start it again but I think the screenshots show a rough idea of what’s going on.
