This is a G 3-4 research & findings about burnout.

 


Week3

Create a sketch. We are seven members, but one of us does character design, So we divided the script into 6 equal parts.


This is a character design by Hadiya, so we use this for the final project.

Create storyboards for animated films based on audio. These are my first animatic storyboards.

This is a final animatic storyboard, the leader connected the member's board. 



Week4 - Week6

First, I made sketches again, this is not a rough sketch as it needs to be traced.

Fig1.2: sketch 1

Fig1.3: sketch 2

Fig1.4: sketch 3

I am in charge of illustrations, so I use Ai to create them. At the end of week 4, I showed some scenes to the leader. The group leader pointed out that the lines were too thin, so we made them thicker and shaped them.

Tracing a sketch, but it's difficult with so many artboards and layers. 

Fig1.6: process in Ai

We used this video as a reference. (Illustration style, color palette)

I also considered the balance of line thickness. Instead of using the same line thickness for all the lines, I used several different thicknesses. I also used a lot of stroke tools. We used the member's handwriting and a handwriting-like font.

These are the final Ai illustrations. After that, update to Google Drive and animaters create animations using them.

The animation members were created using these. Finally, everything was connected and background music was addedThe video below is the final outcome.




Reflection 

All in all, it was a tough but interesting project. We often see motion graphic videos like this on youtube. After making this project, I realized how hard it was. In this group project, it is important that everyone understands the project, the theme and concept of the video, and their role. I think the project went very smoothly. And I learned more about burnout. If I ever get one in the future, I'd like to refer to this video :)
