What the Duck!
The Brief was to create PG 12 Animation that was Kids friendly. The Idea was to make a short animation story that takes these limitations and push them to create a Animation that unites parents with their kids, as both can enjoy it! Movie references from older films and some edgy jokes that kids might not understand should keep the animation engaging for the older generations while a bizarre cartoony twist should make it fun for children up to the age of 12.
Software: Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Audition
University Project
Module: 2D Animation
Year 2022, Term 2
Workflow
The project started with preproduction and figuring out the story and the characters. Storyboard and character sketches on paper helped during this stage.
The Characters, backgrounds, and other needed objects in the animation were created in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The characters have been rigged in After Effects (partially with Rubber Hose).
Animation was done primarily in After Effects and some small tweaks in Photoshop.
The Sound of the video isn't too great as i couldn't get any Sound Designer from Uni to help me with this part of the video, but some basic clean up of the recordings was done in Adobe Audition.
