LO3 - M3

Optimise content

For M2, I will be explaining how the content in my animation, 5 Until, was optimised, rendered and exported ready for it to be finalised.

For my practice demo animation, I created it in Adobe Animate and saved it as an FLA file. To export the animation as an MP4 file, I went to File > Export > Export Movie and then chose to save it as an MP4.



For my finalised animation, I must follow a similar a process to export it. It may vary depending on the software being used as I am not always going to be using Adobe Animate for my final animation.

When it came to my finalised animation (5 Until), many segments of it were created in Alight Motion. Because of this, they were also exported on Alight Motion as MP4 files. After this, the files where sent over to be imported into Adobe After Effects for the pieced together animation to be exported as a whole. On Alight Motion, I have access to various exporting options, including choosing the file size, and the file type. I selected MP4, 1080p (FHD) at 30fps.  It also addresses the space available on the device and the estimated file size for the video.


For the illustrations, I used a software called Ibis Paint. Ibis Paint offers an easy exporting process, so it was easy for me to export my drawings and import them into my editing software. After completing the illustration / frame for my animation, I then tapped on the back arrow to give me the export options: settings, save as transparent PNG, and save as PNG. 

Because I chose to do frame by frame animation for most of the animation, I had to include tweening to make the process quicker to fit within the time constraints. I drew different parts of certain frames on separate layers and exported each layer as a transparent png, as the option is available to me to use.

Gantt Chart: As apart of the pre production documents, I decided to create a Gantt chart to support and speed up the process. This gantt chart includes dates and times that are highlighted to show when I will complete tasks in order to finish the animation. The grey blocks are highlighted are to show when tasks must be completed under a certain date. Gantt charts also display what available time I have after I have gone over the set dates / times for whatever reason that certain tasks could not be completed at its desired time frame. Asset table: Above is an asset table, that contains information on every asset that is going to be used in the animation, for example, characters, backgrounds, images, sounds, etc. The asset table describes each asset and the file type and how / where it will be used. It also states whether it can be used or not depending on copyright laws. Diagram: The diagram above describes 3 conventions that are going to be included in my animation: soundtrack, dialogu...

LO2 - M2: SWOT Analysis

S.W.O.T analysis Here is my SWOT analysis that I am making for my animation, 5 until. Creating a SWOT analysis will help me identify my strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats during the process of creating my animation. We learned what SWOT analysis is in unit 2. Strengths: In terms of strengths, my animation covers a dark topic in a way that is still suitable for younger audiences and educates them on the complexities of grief and how some people may cope with the loss of a loved one. The reason why I believe that my animation is better suited for a younger audience is because of the portrayal of loss used through a pet cat instead of a human being: although it might be considered sadder by some, I believe that with the use of a passing of a cat, children / a younger audience might be able to sympathize more than they would for a human with no development or background on the character. Another strength in my animation is the use of noticeable representation: Although the ch...
