Angela Maxfield's Advanced Animation Blog

 10/25 Update:     For this week, I am submitting my current animation roughs that I have completed, I currently have three shots left to rough out, I will begin cleaning up the animation this upcoming week. Due to time, the backgrounds will take a more simple approach/color palette. I also plan to due simple coloring for the animation, the anthro bird will have some color and detail to make the beak more distinguishable. 

 Thesis Proposal Rewrite:     Listening to the most recent feedback, I have created a new proposal to work on for the rest of the semester. This new animatic centers around the bird character that was seen in the original proposal, as well as having no dialogue and relying on the body language of the characters. Instead of the dragon I'm using a small baby bird. This animatic is an interaction between an  anthropomorphic and an actual bird, who wants some of the humanized bird's apple. I thought it would be a cute interaction to show how the two would eat the apple slice (ie. Baby bird wants it chewed up, the anthro bird eats it like a person would). This is half the length of the original proposal, so I hope this is a more sound and concrete concept. Animatic in question: Character Sheet of the Anthropomorphic Bird: The Baby bird will have a proper character sheet for the 10/18 update.

 10/4/22 Update: Here is the current rough draft of my animation:      Last semester, I had storyboarded a conceptual teaser for a short film I originally wanted to do. I currently have around 44 seconds of the animation roughed out, I am going to spend this week cleaning up the animation I have now and see how I can either shorten or rearrange it. It's been a bit difficult, as most of the bgs and other assets were completed during the summer, so hopefully I'll be able to smooth it out.
