CT5ANIGP TB 2 DIALOG PROJECT- Lip Sync animation project week 4 - 5

WEEK 4

After the pre-production presentation, I immediately worked on what needs more improvements according to the feed backs given.

Although it was intended that the man character design was meant to have a contrasting look then the woman character, he does not seem quite fitting completely. Instead of changing his entire design, I reworked on his face design.

I tried working on sketches to test out how his eyes and face shape would be like

I tried applying what I've sketched , giving the man character a slightly sharper, large nose, adding colors in the eyes and slightly reshaped his face shape.

For the interior design, there is still some ideas needed in the room to feel more life to it. With the feed backs given, I realize that after watching some of the shots in the rough animatic, my mistake is not noticing the use of what objects are needed and not needed for the background. Reason why is because some of the shots in the rough animatic feels lifeless as there are no objects seen behind the character.


I've decided to work on sketching on different camera view and changing some designs.

After, I went on to reworking the finalized background design.

These are the backgrounds for the animation.

For the rough animatic, I reworked on certain shots because the objects such as the cookies were not very well shown for the audience to catch in that the man was baking.

After having a feed back sessions with the teachers, I worked on the characters and the rough animatic.

CT5SOVIS Group Project 'The Lost Mariner'

In the 2nd term for SOVIS, I've team up with Mariana to work on a new group project in this unit. The story we've chosen would be 'The Lost Mariner'.

The story is about a man name Jimmie, 49 years old, he was a mariner in his old time. He suffers from a certain type of mental illness such as confusion, disorientated, demented and helpless.


Finalized film:

Animation by Mariana Noronha and myself.

Song : 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash

Contribution Reel :

A video of shots that I worked on.

During pre-production research and work, I had a weekly discussion with Mariana on our ideas. We discussed what our character would look like and how do we want our film to work. Transition and effects were a very difficult task that we took the time to plan through but as we go, we work on our part of ideas.

Old Jimmy Sketches :

For the doctor's office, I work on 1960s office.

Room design and color test :

For the playground, I took the reference from the streets of new york.

Backyard design and color test :

Sky coloring test :

As for the submarine, I took reference out of real life submarines that exist in the 1940s (which is the time when young Jimmy was still a mariner) taking some design ideas from submarines that are both still exist and some that had sunken for years.

After effect test :

As I planned on how to animate some of the shots that had a slightly difficult transition, I worked on keys & breakdowns for shot 50 and shot 60.

After, Mariana and I discussed and choose which part do we take. I then choose the first 9 shots, worked on rough animatics and put it together with Mariana's.

The last video was edited and reworked by Mariana.

After, I worked on some test and animation such as water animations, splashes of the water and cinematic texture to fit the 1940s style cinematic screen, it is to be used for shots that include Jimmy remembering his past.
