Unit 34 Task 1:Understand the techniques and development of 2D animation Techniques Traditional 2D animation (flick book, cel animation, rotoscoping, drawn on film, photographic stills); Flick book: It's a number of images that act as frames to the animation that vary a little bit from each other so when pages are flipped rapidly you can see an animation/motion. Cel animation: Technique used to draw a set of image that can be layered on each other forming a full image or detailed environment. Thanks to that layers can be separately taken out and swapped with something different making an animation or film; just like in theatre. Rotoscoping: Basically rotoscoping is as tracing a life form action into animation drawing a frame by frame movement, like walking of a person. Tracing is done using motion picture footage so it traceable for the artist. This method was used when a realistic action was need for the animation to...

Unit 78 Task 3: Be able to create digital graphics for a computer game following industry practice.  After researching and drawing my character and environment as you saw in Unit 78 Task 2 I had scanned my pictures to the computer so I could trace them using Adobe Illustrator.

I have done this because I did fund a good landscape picture that fits quite good  with this cut out and also looks very fantasy and cool. So there is the picture I have talked about but to fit me with a rock I will have to scale down me and the rock so it looks appropriate and doesn't take too much space, but so at the same time it gets the impression of natural occurrence. Obviously it doesn't look natural neither similar but I decided to leave this image for now and start doing second picture where I came up with a great idea after finding a perfect landscape. Project Nr.2 The is the landscape I was talking about and my idea was about be walk...
