Volunteer 2D shot

Talking about volunteer work. I did this purely for learning purpose. No money involved. And hopefully i can put this in my resume too.

There is this short 2D animated film by Feather Films call The Orchestra. They want to make a trailer to sell the film, and asked for volunteers to fill up the backgrounds with character animations. This was shared by an Animation Mentor classmate Jin Chong. And so i volunteered a little 5 sec shot.

The background is below and i am doing window number 14.

The concept for the shot is any character from the 1950s, doing something in the window space, with mini versions of the character playing instruments.

Some concept art and final look on in window.

Initial animation.

And final with colour.

The shot started on September 2014 and finally managed to finish in December 2014, in spite of work and study.

Overall, though it is alot of work and time spent. It is a very good experience. And a the Principles of Animation certainly helped. Really hoped to see the end product!
