I created this story animation by combining all of the skills that I've learned into this story. I decided to make my story based on an Owl who flies away and the children owls are left alone.In this project I combined Arcs, Timing, Puppet Pin, Multilayer, Walk-Cycle, and Keyframe Interpolation/Eases.
Reflection:
The scope of this project was to create a storyline by combing all of your skills put together. The process to making this animation was to first come up with a story that could contain all of these skills in it. I had to story board to get my ideas and scenes ready to go.
Production:
This story was a lot of fun to make, and I learned a new skill: Fading. Fading was used by making a black screen and changing the opacity using key frames.
Overview:
In a future project I would take more time in the overall production and clean a couple things up such as changing the angles. I would keep the story production ideas the same such as using a story board. I would also use the same techniques and skills, because when put together, They make a heck of a story.
In a J-Edit, the sound of the next scene precedes the picture, and in an L-Edit, the picture changes but the audio continues.
How-To make J and L Edits:
J and L Edits are nearly essential to videos such as in stories! Knowing the difference and how to preform these editing tricks is a handy way to improve any video!
Step 1:
In editing any video the first step is to collect all your clips into your timeline.
Step 2 (J-Edit):
The next step would be to separate the original clip where you would like to enter in a J-Edit. After you do so you want to fit the desired clip to use the J-Edit on in between the original clip and put the Picture of the video above the original clip and the Sound portion of the desired clip under the two. Next silence the original clip volume and erase the desired clip picture so that the desired clip sound plays over the original clips picture.
Step 3 (L-Edit):
Finally, the last edit is the L-Edit. This edit in my opinion is the easiest one to understand and make! In order to preform this effect, you must place the desired clip picture above the original clip and the Sound portion of the desired clip under the two clips once again. Then you want to mute the sound of the desired clip on the bottom while muting the picture of the original clip. Therefore the original clips's sound is playing while the desired clips picture is as well. That is an L-Edit.
