Hey guys, I haven' t been on in a while, but I am happy to report that I have been working hard on my various projects. As the title states, our schools multi-media festival "eMagine" is coming up. I decided to do another kinetic typography to the song,
All of the Stars by Ed Sheeran. I want to come back this year and show the judges that I have really improved in my animation.
My schedule lately has been super hectic and busy, since I am a senior in high school and the college I want to attend will not let me in. I also play golf and act in my schools theatre program. I am currently working on the kinetic typography project for eMagine but I am also working on a huge client project. I have been hired by an international company to do an animation for their company. Unfortunately that is all of the information I can give you, since this company is very confidential with information and projects.
So, back to my animation, I started by looking back at my project from last year and going over the judges notes on what could have been improved in my animations. My mom and various other particularly liked my hand painted landscapes I would do throughout the project. I needed to find a song with a lot of imagery and when I heard it, I knew it was the right song to do.
I am know for storyboarding as I go, so below I have provided what I have so far for storyboards. Since I have a little over a month to work on the project, I am thinking of cutting the animation after the main refrain of the song.
Right now I am having trouble tying it all together, I did not know if all of the backgrounds being different would be a bad thing. I am also just having trouble managing my time, since there are around 45 days until the entries are due.
My goal is to win a pixel, I really just want to show others, the hard work that I put into everything that I do. I was not born an animator, artist, or golfer which is why I have to work so hard at these things. I don't want to fall flat on my face again; I want to prove to myself and others that I CAN do this and that I am not a huge mess up. To win a pixel award would be like a pat on the back for the end of my high school career, and prove that I am a talented young woman.
Here is what I have so far, I may be cutting the song is time is not available to finish. If you have any comments or suggestions, email them to the email below; it would be greatly appreciated!
