Final Thoughts

This brief has been a freeform term and felt like a breather year but a good experience , developing my skills and has helped me understand what I now need to do to assist me on career planning and where I will fit in the industry.
I feel I have produced a nice showreel that presents me in a personal professional way.
It shows my realisation of an idea, I am narrative driven, know how to breakdown a scene through layouts and my passion for character designer.
I do feel the look of some of my work could be slightly better quality but I think the way it has been presented and edited balances it out.

Finished Showreel

My Finished Showreel!

In my last post I stated that I wasn't sure on my showreel. I felt it needed something else, but I just couldn't think of what that thing was. So I had another look at it and found out that some scenes were missing from the animatic so I quickly put them back in. I then thought my whole showreel could do with some tweaking, so I added some more little video effects which I think are not too much and work. I wanted to do this so I could show that I also have some skill in editing. 

Overall, I am pleased with my showreel and feel it represents me and shows my skills. 

Showreel 03

This is my third attempt on my showreel. This is slightly more improved than the last two. Ive cut out a few things and put in some more of my work and added improved some video effects. I still feel like something is missing but once I found out what that is and put it in, I think my showreel will be finished!

Edited and composited on Premiere. 

Showreel 02

Showreel

My showreel will run for 3 minutes or less and will mainly feature my animatic. But I have planned to show my production work, which will contain my character designs, layouts, walk cycles and other work from other briefs, spare time etc.

Here is my first draft of my production work

I will be using After Effects as well as Premiere to edit my some sequences of my showreel. 

Other Character Designs

Here is some other character designs I did that aren't part of the project. These are just designs Ive done in my spare time. 

Walk Cycles

Even though my final outcome is an animatic, I decided to at least show my characters fully coloured and animated by doing some basic walk cycles.

Title Card

I thought it would fun to design a title card for my piece. Since I am following the style of FOP , Hanna Barbera I would do my own title card like them.

Here are a few of my initial designs

This is my chosen design drawn up neat. 

And here is the Final Title Card. 

Animatic Part 1 & 2

This is the full animatic.

I am very pleased with how it has turned out. Both parts have fitted well. I feel it has a good pace and appealing.

Animatic Part2

Here is the second part of my animatic.

Unlike the first part of the animatic, I sort of knew how I wanted this to view edited and composed.
