Since the blocking in week 14-15 was imported in with jpeg, what I did was converting all the frames to photoshop and started on with the base animation.

I started off with the transitions of the change of weather, then slowly moving on to transitions of the first meetup of the rooster and hen, which are one of the main transitions I wanted to work on.

# data[].attributes.body
For week 16, I wanted to try out to do the dolly in and out camera movement for the last part, with the use of a null object combining parenting all the photographs together and animate them as a whole.

Points i have taken down from feedback:

Main video

Make the rooster and Turkey laugh softer (more of a bgm)

“Hey let’s break up +Christmas is over”

clearer why they break up

Long cut of them staring at eo

Animate the eyes of rooster

Fade out

Wedding

dolly out to them kissing

Linger more at the last scene, less abrupt ending

Audio:

Ambience sfx

Cinema

Outdoor six

Soften chicken sound effects (shocked hen getting proposed)

Teaser video

Don’t need to show turkey leaving

Just show message of her breaking up

From consultation, I found out that the dolly in and out animation was rather disorganised, and realised I also included keyframes for individual photographs layers as well... However, under mr Longfei's guidance, I learnt how to make use of a null object better, and managed to fix the animation without the inconsistent keyframes.

# data[].attributes.body
After the feedback on week 17, I also decided to make the animation for the eyes even more obvious, enlarging the eyes and beak to create a more surprised and in love expression

# data[].attributes.body
Summary of what I worked on:

door scene (defo can be improved)

changed the multiple cuts of CU of rooster and hen to just one long cut each

Animating eyes and beak of rooster

dolly in and out

Added and fixed the audio for some parts (some sfx hit the red coloured sound level so I had to reduce them)

# data[].attributes.body
I also drew an asset of the calendar flipping, so to make the first scene less static

# data[].attributes.body
I realised that the animation was not as smooth, since some frames were missing, thus I also drew more STYB of the rooster opening the door (first few seconds)

Calendar flipping + door scene (animated with more frames)

# data[].attributes.body
After feedback given by my group mates, I worked on:

1. Adding more frames to make a smoother animation

Calendar, door

2. making animation smoother

Instead of cut, changing to zooming in, so it does not feel disconnected

Meetup of hen and rooster, offset the background of rooster to move before the frame appears, so it shows more continuity from the previous frame when hen appears

Instead of stopping at each photoframe (last scene), keep panning slowly.

3. Animated the sigh for the roosrer, learning wiggling+ slider control for the rooster feeling sad

4. Added sfx to the dates (provided by Joyann)

cinema sfx

dining clanking sfx

bling bling sfx

From presentation today, I've learnt the vast importance of checking and rechecking all our items, and be more meticulous, before presenting.

Next, if the same situation happens again in the future, I learnt that instead of panicking and continuing wiht our presentation, we should ask to fix whatever we have first, then continue to present instead.

Learning how to be adaptive is crucial, it does not have to apply just on design, but it can be applied to daily activities, learning how to react to different situations on time, having the critical thinking skills, etc. If I were to pitch my ideas to a client in the future, the best way is to think of it calmly, so as to not break the reliance that the client has on us.

Felt a little upset that the presentation did not turn out as expected due to my clumsiness, but I guess I would like to use this as a learning point, and I also want to sincerely apologies to my group mates who have put in a lot of effort into this as well
