Charicter and Narrative Week 8

This week we have been continuing to animate. In addition i have been collaborating with music student from Leeds College of Music. This process involved communicating via email to the leeds college of music student union. I asked of they had anyone that would be interested in collaborating with an 2nd year animation student.  I had around 16 responses. So i had to set a cut off point. i gave them a week to respond. From there i sent them everything we had done so far and asked them if they'd still like to work with us. From there i narrowed it down to three people. I asked the group which they liked best. We then narrowed it down to Amdreas. We chose Andreas because, his music is amazing and he has experience scoring animation. i sent Andereas this video about why Ghibli films sound so good. It actually goes really deep into music theory and music composition.

We have revived the first draft of the music back Andreas. It sounds really good. here is the clip he sent me

As for animation this week i made progress with my scenes. In addition to this i also had a crack at animating the dragon puppet that Carla built. I really struggled as it is a complex puppet to use and i am not completely comfortable with after effects yet. Here is ome of my failed attempts.
 
Matt showed me how to use the puppet pin tool after he saw me struggling with the puppet that Carla made, however I consider this i failure. I tried to use the puppet pin tool to create a more fluid motion but it just ended up looking really warped and unnatural.
