<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">It’s certainly been a rollercoaster ride for these past two years. It’s in the stage where it’s hard not to feel strange.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">As I began this project almost two years ago, I knew that it would be the most ambitious project that I had desired to do. I cannot put into words how proud I feel about managing to complete this project to a point of being able to hand it in for a final submission. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">When the project first started it was in summer 2017. Jayden thought that it would be a good idea to introduce me to how the aliens were a menace. With that knowledge being basically forced upon me, I asked Jayden “so if these Aliens are such a menace, what did you do to stop them?”. Of course, with this became the beginnings of the Jayden Tapes. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">I knew I had something funny to play with. Jayden’s crude, childish mannerisms and characteristics, and my reactions to his stories. It felt like I could show the world what mine and Jayden’s antics would be like but on the big screen. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Once I received back the recordings, I also received a green light. So I began trying to solidify an art style to make the project pop. I went through many different art styles. It was only after attempting to create myself and Jayden in these ways, it hit me. If it’s Jayden's project, why shouldn’t it be set within his imagination? </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">This was sort of a eureka moment for me. To commit to the idea of it being Jayden’s imagination and as we are experiencing the story within it, I wanted to use Jayden’s drawings as an influence for the designs that went into the animation. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">These drawings were then recreated and made into Maya models. It was a different experience, as I was essentially inventing characters out of some scribbles. Nonetheless, I felt it was what gave stuff it’s character. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">As the project went on, I developed the ‘scribble’ texture out of the idea that Jayden couldn’t colour within the lines properly. As we are in his imagination I felt it was right to represent the world this way. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Once the 3 environments had been created and the Jayden character had been made, it was time to animate. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Once the animation process had gotten underway, I hit a big snag. This problem came in the form of the Jayden model essentially exploding every time I tried to animate it. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">It felt as though the project became dead in the water. It was also a week before the deadline, therefore I had no time to fix the issues and get the film done. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Fortunately, I was allowed to return the following year to have another go at getting my film finished. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">The goals were simple upon returning to uni. Fix Jayden. Get the film done. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">So I feel like I did well overcoming the obstacles thrown at me, as I managed to fix Jayden completely. This was liberating to have him working and not undoing my project, the only issue was that he no longer had a cape attached. This was shown in all of the concept art for Jayden but unfortunately, it had to be taken away as it was the main thing destroying the Jayden model last time. It's a shame to see such a key element gone but I feel it still works visually in 3D. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">With the Jayden model working and animation technically ready to start, I felt that the project still needed something else in order to really work and achieve its purpose. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">This was the 3D creation of myself. This came out of the idea that when I would make Jayden interact with me in the animation, it would look weird and feel really wooden. This was because my character was also set-up to be 2D within the world and it just didn't translate well from the animatic to screen. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Once I had been fully created, rigged, skinned and textured it felt as though the project was truly alive again. I was excited to see what I could do now. The Transformer was also made into 3D (a decision made as a 3D character being perched on top of a 2D character's shoulders felt wrong) and then the animating could truly begin. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">I feel proud of some of the animation I have managed to do for this project. I feel I have managed to make an animation that has still kept its hilarity and childishness from the scratchy animatic to animated piece. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">I do feel there are some weaknesses to the project. Timings being the main issue yet again. At points, it felt like I was trying to run away from the issues I had and trying to hide in a shell. Some of the parts of animation aren’t my finest either. Some scenes couldn’t have any secondary animation much as I wanted them too as I simply didn’t leave myself with enough time to do it. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Another weakness to the project I feel is the lack of animation of the 2D character. I feel that if the 2D characters had at least a few more different poses to work with then they would have worked better on screen. As for how it stands at the moment, they feel quite lifeless and don’t have the same feel as the 3D characters In the world. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Despite some flaws in the project, I do really look forward to seeing the project rendered and finished. Adding in a post credit scene and a proper ending will help it feel more complete. I feel over the moon that I actually succeeded in getting the film made to, in my mind, a satisfactory standard. Having the story remain the same was another thing that helped me throughout this project. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">Overall, I am both happy with my piece and disheartened at the same time. I feel as though I have done Jayden's imagination justice visually but an artist is never truly happy with their work. With more time, I feel a few simple tweaks would set my mind at rest. Simple changes such as the secondary movements of the characters, more movement from the 2D characters and maybe even aliens appearing in scenes where they shouldn't be, just to add more depth to the piece. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 22.7px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 19pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: x-small;">I hope this project has brought joy to others as much as it has brought joy to myself. Jayden is such a creative young boy and I hope that people can laugh along and be as intrigued by it now as they first did when the animatic was presented.</span></div>

After changing the exposure on the skydome and directional lights in the scene, I noticed that I had been using the intensity to increase the light. This was making the scene seem dull. To make the scene look as though it had clouds and a clear blue sky in the distance, I applied a ramp onto the skydome and modelled the clouds so that they felt more real within the scene.<br />

Originally I had only one light within the bowling alley scene. This light made the bowling alley feel disused and bland. For me, I associate bright neon lights with a bowling alley, therefore it felt right adding the mesh lights to replicate those neon lights.<br />
<br />
To keep the 'Scribbly' effect In tact across the scenes, I made the bowling pins and floor to look this way.<br />

When I add the Transformer and Jayden to the scene for the bowling scene, I feel i will most likely have to increase the brightness within the scene as it feels a little too grey in some areas.Ba Hons Computer Animation Arts | Samuel Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13788496125789708886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985110804201112588.post-55951033809629425862018-04-24T13:12:00.001+01:002018-04-24T13:12:30.560+01:00Major Project | Animation Test | Playblast<div style="height: 0; padding-bottom: 75.0%; position: relative;">

Little snippet from the animation I am doing for Jayden at the minute. This test is mostly to see what the lip-syncing looks like. After adding more lip-sync animation to the already animated body, I will post the updates. I'm really liking the way Jayden is turning out at the moment, hopefully he develops a lot more over the coming days.Ba Hons Computer Animation Arts | Samuel Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13788496125789708886noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985110804201112588.post-83825545200969516232018-04-13T00:50:00.002+01:002018-04-13T00:50:24.351+01:00Major Project | Finished Corrective Blend Shapes | Jayden <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

For the joints of the Jayden model I had to make sure that the model was skinned correctly to the model first. As I wanted the model to be on the chubbier side, there was lots of clipping and volume loss as the model bent in different positions. Therefore blend shapes had to be used in order to correct these issues.<br />

Now everything is textured. There still needs to be a matte painting or a moving animatic in the background. In an attempt to eradicate the grey lighting issue I changed the lighting colour to yellow on both directional and sky-dome lighting.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Textured Garden<br /><br />For the Bowling alley i aim to add more of the 'Scribbly' textures to it to make sure that it looks more childish.<br />In terms of how the garden is shaping up, I am pleased with it's progress. For the white sky i want to try drawing the background. There is also a mix of 2d models with hand drawn textures and 3d models with the 'scribble' effect. Originally there was a lot more 2d elements to the scene, there was more scribbles being used on these too. This seemed to make the scene look too small, flat and harsh on the eyes. </td></tr>

<br />
At the moment this is how Jayden looks as a finished model, I have since added a cape to him also.<br />
This cape will be animated properly after completing the <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">NCloth - Attract to Matching Mesh</span></span> tutorial. Currently I am working on bringing in phonemes that I have painted into Maya.<br />

<br />
With this in mind, I went and spoke to Phil to try come up with ideas on how to extrapolate Jayden's personality into a feasible piece that would work on screen.<br />
<br />
We decided I should catch Jayden unaware and record him reenacting a fantastical story or an anecdote of his day or night. To follow on from this, I travelled back to hometown to reveal what absurdities Jayden would tell me.<br />
<br />
Within one recording session, I had over 40 minutes of sound files where Jayden would talk about many things from the Aliens next door to bowling with transformers. Admittedly a lot of what Jayden said was repeated, but he did get very into his storytelling and needed very few prompts to reenact his 'night before.'<br />
<br />
After coming away with the files, I decided to make a 'new' audio file where all of Jayden's ramblings could collate into one story highlighting the best bits.<br />
<br />
It was when the audio file was completed that I knew I had something funny and different on my hands. For the animation to not lose the charm from the recording, I knew that I would have to find an art style that both sympathised and worked with my drawing style.<br />
<br />
After my different style attempts, I couldn't find the one that fitted. At first, I wanted it to look much like the style from 'The JCB Song'. The animation was to be made entirely in 2d using Maya. This idea soon changed as I still felt that it might not work very well on screen.<br />
<br />
After discussions with Phil about the project, we thought it would work best if the world in which the animation plays out were 2d and 3d. Much like how the old Paddington Bear animations looked.<br />
<br />
I thought this was brilliant; I could now involve Jayden further in this project. So this time, I had him travel to Rochester to see me and have a few days of being spoilt in return for the many drawings of his adventures.<br />
<br />
Although scratchy and sometimes hard to understand, his drawings were great to work with and helped me solidify the nature of this world. I knew the pictures themselves would have to be recreated or transformed into something that helped bring the characters to life.<br />
<br />
These drawings would be presented on animated 2d planes on 'badly cut out shapes' within Maya. 3D aspects would be the environment and Jayden. All other characters may have to be 2d, but it will be testing that helps me to figure out what and will not be 3D.<br />
<br />
After completing drawing up Jayden's designs, I wanted to have something visual for the interim pitch that was approaching. I tried to translate how the 2d in the world will work. I made an animatic to try and explain this point. It seemed that was received better than I expected.<br />
<br />
It became clear after the pitch that I had proposed to get too much done in the time I was given.<br />
<br />
For the end of the minor project, I wanted to have had a previs completed, a fully modelled, rigged and skinned Jayden and some animation cycles for him.<br />
<br />
I managed to complete the Jayden model and the rigging and skinning for him also. Many issues occurred during the procedure of making of Jayden.<br />
A dead laptop, corrupt hard drive and repeating skinning where mistakes had happened. Nonetheless, I am happy with what I have accomplished, and I am proud that I have got a character at this stage for the first time.<br />
<br />
It may have come with its difficulties trying to get him completed, so much so that the other aspects of the project couldn't be finished. On the other hand, it came with a lot of lessons that needed to be learnt, that the whole character creation process in Maya is not a walk in the park. A few parts on Jayden still need tweaking before I texture him properly and add normal maps to him, then he should be good to go.<br />
<br />
Overall I feel I have applied myself to this project well after finishing on quite a low note for the second year. Had there not been some issues and an underestimation of Maya by myself I feel I could have been further. I have at least a somewhat finished model to go forward with now and an art direction and ideas from my animatic.Ba Hons Computer Animation Arts | Samuel Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13788496125789708886noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1985110804201112588.post-17717396260363051612018-01-11T17:53:00.000+00:002018-01-11T17:53:09.236+00:00Minor Project | Submission<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CTz7qDFwdxc" width="560"></iframe>
