Task: Frame-by-Frame Animation

•

Module: Motion Graphic Design (CC2222)

This task requires us to create an animated GIF from a series of static images that involves our own original character that fully completes any movement.

Here, I tried to make it look circus-ish but with a bit of magic show. The character is a monkey with a talent named Julius having its own show. The movement basically is Julius waving and introducing itself to the audience but had a wardrobe malfunction where it pulls back its skirt to cover from embarrassment. To me, the background plays an important role as the character unless I am planning to make it look minimal.

The total of the images are 42 images which means that there are 42 frames in this animation. Personally my ideal delay of each frame is 0.1s based on what I compared when testing how it looked with 0s, 0.1s, as well as 0.2s. 0s makes it look very fast as if a video is being fast forwarded, while 0.2s makes it look slow making it appear jerky and looks like a stop motion video although technically can be considered one.

Everything were drawn from scratch and produced as the final GIF image by using Photoshop.
