A: How you used backdrop/set images?

I used backdrops as backgrounds to my animation in order to increase the visual appeal of certain sections. I animated over the top of static images which helped quicken the pace of the animation and helped me to meet deadlines.

B: How you set up equipment?

We used a camera stand as well as lights situated on a tripod when we filmed parts of our animation using the claymation and paper cut-out techniques. This ensured that scenes did not move and an appropriate amount of light was available. We used Macs with the Adobe Creative Cloud installed in order to animate the rest of our music video.

C: How you followed script/storyboard?

During animation it became apparent that the script lacked directions for some sections, so ideas had to be made on the spot as to what to include in the final music video. Storyboard sketches were very rough, so more in-depth drawings were made for the final animation. Both script and storyboard planned for the whole duration of the song, but due to time constraints we only animated 2 minutes of the song. You couldn’t see the outcome of some sections of animation until after you had done them such as the paper cut-out stop-motion, so ideas on where to include them came then and there, such as using the piano section twice. Sections previously planned for completion in Maya were adjusted to be completed in Adobe Animate as knowledge was lacking in Maya.

D: How you followed safe working practises?

There wasn’t much risk in creating this animation. However, during filming the claymation and paper cut-outs we ensured that the camera and lights were fixed securely to their stands to prevent them falling off and injuring someone or breaking. During excessively long animating periods relevant breaks were taken to prevent RSI, dehydration and eye-strain.

E: How you followed production processes?

Development:

During the development stage we chose a song to animate: De La Soul – Jenifa Taught Me. We decided that we would only animate 2 minutes of this song. We also decided which methods of animation we would use which included paper cut-outs, claymation, Maya, Adobe Animate, and Adobe Premiere Pro.

Pre-Production:

Pre-Production involved creating a script, storyboarding, and making a production schedule. These were all vital pieces of paperwork to help us complete the animation on time and to order things within the video.

Production:

We animated all sections of footage during the production stage, setting aside a week for each different type of animation. We made sure to label files in a manner which helped us to identify them at a later date.

Post-Production:

After gathering all the sections of our animation they need compositing into one piece of footage. We did this in Adobe Premiere Pro, first importing the song, then matching scenes up to the lyrics and adding effects where needed.

These four steps to production are industry standard and have been used for many years to produce anything from a Movie to an Advert.

F: Log Rushes and EDL

I have labelled my files per the name of the part of animation that they are so that they are very self-explanatory and I can see on the script where the animation goes int he final piece.
