CONTACT SHEETS:

These are the frame from my first animation. At first I did not have a theme, I just had the idea to animate a skellington coming out of the ground. Id often looked at this mound of dirt in my garden and thought it looked strange. And this is the first idea that came to mind. I draw each frame on Photoshop and then I used gifmaker.me/ to create the overlay for Aurasma.

I then sat in my room wondering what I could do next and what could be theme. I stared to get frustrated because I could not think of anything and I was just focusing on the leaves falling off my bonsai tree and wish it would stop dying. That’s when I thought to illustrate the leaves growing back.

I then went with the theme ‘Bringing Things To life’ and wonder what else I could bring to life using the app. I then saw the dog ornament I was given to me as a gift because I was not able to get a real dog so I decided to ‘bring it to life’.

Overall I fond the animations to be quite successful. However I found it annoying that I sent a long time on adding a lot of detail and spending a long time getting each frame to the best standard I could possible for the quality to be so bad when uploaded to Aurasma. However, I’ve gained skills and learnt new techniques.

Heroes and Villains

In storybooks, novels and movies, there are often archetypes of characters. For instance, there might be a romantic hero, a strong leader or a heroine who needs to be rescued. Often, these characters in books or movies have certain classic traits that help you to identify what role they play in the story.

For example, some character traits that can be used to describe a heroic main character include:

  • Dauntless
  • Strong
  • Courageous
  • Reliable
  • Fearless
  • Daring
  • Tough
  • Brave

When describing a villain, or the story’s antagonist, it would be common to use these kinds of character traits:

  • Ugly
  • Evil
  • Cunning
  • Deceptive
  • Murderous
  • Psychotic

For this project I decided to research and sketch both Disney and Comic Book Heroes and Villains. I wrote a brief description about how each character fits their role they have whether that being in a film or comic, basing it on the list of character traits of what a hero or villain should possess. I chose to use a pencil for these drawing because it’s my favourite way of documenting research and I feel like it also compliments the original drawing style that the Disney character designers used and also the comic book illustrators.

I then chose to use my favourite sketches and decided to make them into posters. I then added personal quotes to each posters that both have different meanings. The quote on the hero poster is from my auntie who is may favourite person and who is seen a hero to me and my family, she would say this all the time to me when I was a kid as she was about leave. I still live by these words. And the quote on the villains poster is from me, when I asked my sister what would quote and she said “you’re like the joker you’re misunderstood and evil at your core” so I used this quote because when I was a kid I got the lyrics to a songs wrong (misunderstood) and was always a very badly behaved and had a bad temper and my family often referred to me as the evil twin/ devil child.

Evolution of The Horse Skull:

I also produced drawings of horse skulls along with my human skulls. After researching and drawing different animals evolution I found the horse skulk the most interesting, I found the evolutionary changes really interesting because of how different they all look after thousands/ millions of years apart.
