So today we were introduced to a new subject which is Production Management, our faculty for this subject too is Tony Sir. Sir shared some slide notes from his book “The Art Of Animation Production Management” and took us through the journey of the making, how he got inspired, how some girl instigated this thought in his mind and how his knowledge from all the practical, hands on experience work got him to write a book!

We discussed many aspects of production management and how it doesn’t add on to any of the badges that one carries but just safeguards one in the industry. We also discussed and learned of how our opinions should always be a choice or an option given to the client and we must always try to deliver what we are asked to. We discussed how planning everything before starting any job is must, how writing everything in a systematic order helps in working efficiently and most important of all, how being humble towards learning and the working environment we practise in helps set the morale of the and whole workspace.

A generic pipeline is when an idea leads to a story that has performers in setting who then lead to writing of the script. A script is then developed into a screenplay which defines the performance and setting that expands into actors/ characterisation and also the visual design, look, art directions. Every step above culminates in the creation of product/execution/production which then undergoes or goes through distributors/ exhibitors and finally the AUDIENCE.

Post understanding the generic pipeline of Production Management we watched a few movies to understand the term pixilation. Few of them were actually so inspiring and intriguing how different techniques are used to make a creative composition.

Ive attached few of my notes from today’s lecture, stay tuned for further updates

DRAWING FOUNDATION WEEK 1, 30.07.2019 So today we had a class with Akash Sir on Drawing Foundation. Post introduction Sir showed few of his works and they were AMAZING! The amount of time he had put in for those sketches was unbelievable. He showed us presentation and it showcased a lot of his college work which again were too inspiring. We then started by simply drawing straight lines, circles and then ellipses. He also showed us the right way to sketch few forms and shapes in the right manner. Sir showed us a demo on designing and sketching a helmet in merely 5 minutes. He helped us understand the time division and importance of thumbnails and basic rough sketches. We were then assigned 25 minutes to sketch whatever we felt like, and the first thing that strikes my mind is my vegetable vendor(dont ask me why?) following below is the sketch I drew in the 25 minutes that were assigned, We discussed further how everyone's drawing had a basic sketch to it and sir gave another...

So today’s 3D Animation class was FUN! Every class we do gesture drawing where one person poses in front of the class and the rest quickly draws the gesture. Today we did the same exercise in a different way, we played side ball! Whenever sir saw a nice unique pose being showcased, sir asked that person to freeze for ten to fifteen seconds and we quickly used to sketch, by this we learned to draw more dynamic, instant, realistic and quirky pose gestures. Later we did stop motion of a bouncing ball(coin) where I learned a lot about the curve arcs and how gravity affects the arc and placement of the coin. Post bouncing coin I went through the book called Animator’s  survival kit by Richard Williams. I ordered it instantly as this book has got everything, from basics of animation to advance level.We later used our light boxes to draw the bouncing ball cell animation using pose to pose. I found it quite interesting how back when I was in school I used to copy science diagram using t...

ANI 17Sept MAKE UP WEEK

So today we had a make up class for animation where we continued with the previous exercise of heavy and light ball. Before that we did contour and gesture drawings, saw few short films and few of Sir’s work. In my animation for heavy and light ball, I have added an interaction between those two balls where when the light ball hits the wall on which the heavy ball is, the heavy balls hits the light ball from above and bounces back to the ground. I tried many ways but I haven’t got the effect that I want yet, few scenes look very unnatural and I am going to try again, this time I’m going to keep it simple and get the fundamentals right first. Stay tuned, I’ll be uploading all my playblast in the next blog:)
