MD2 Project Progression

For this week, we've decided to scratch our idea of creating an animation using Adobe Animate. Although we have used Youtube tutorials to help guide and educate us on how to use Animate to the best of our abilities, it seems we can't quite get the hang of it.

However, we've decided to expand our concept on Stephaine's frame-by-frame technique. With this in mind, myself and Valerie set out to buy coloured and textured paper to draw our miniature characters and create background.

We researched previous work which had a similar theme, or vibe, that we are aiming for. We came across a 2D animation created by Brandon Ray which really appealed to us (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvfF1YNDrTw). 

As we are already pushed for a bit of time, we concluded 2D stop motion animation was our best option within our skill range and started to develop on this idea. 


Creating and Design 

I bought two different booklets of coloured paper - one plain (for characters) and one slightly textured (for backgrounds). 




Using a variation of different coloured pages, we cut them into tiny shapes to create characters and objects for a scene.

Here is a rough draft:

Introduction to a CDM student.

Image
My name is Marixa and I am a second year CDM student in ITB. This blog post will tell you a bit about myself and what I hope to achieve in this course. What were my biggest achievements last year? Last year I learned a lot in my course. My favorite module was Web Development, which I would definitely consider as one of my biggest achievements last year! When I started this course I had no idea how to create a website, by the end of the year I had created multiple websites and even learned how to design my finished product! Where did I go over the break? Over the break, I went to many places including Kerry and France, although my most memorable holiday this summer was my visit to Amsterdam. I went over the end of June for the festival "Awakenings". A group of DJ's such as Patrick Topping, Carl Cox, and Bicep were playing at the festival. This is a picture of the festival taken 5 years ago by Geoffrey de Kleijn.  What are my hobbies now? What hobbies would

Original Game Brainstorm.

Image
If I was to make a game, I would like it to be simple yet effective and addictive, thus why I came up with the following ideas: 1. As my first idea I thought of something very simple and easy, a game where the aim of the game is to stack objects (e.g different animated animals) on one another, until the user misses the stack or the stack topples over. The objects will keep alternating from left to right, and when the user thinks that it aligns perfectly with the stack underneath they can release the object to fall onto the stack below. It's a very basic idea, but I think it makes it all the more addictive, as the objective is simple and achievable by almost everyone. In terms of levels, I think it would be cool to make different levels that are optional, but only unlocked after receiving a certain amount of points on the first level. These other levels could include like different shapes or a time mode, to see how many can be stacked in a certain amount of time. Another mode coul

Game Vision Statement

Source here . Game genre: Survival horror  Survival horror is a sub-genre of video games inspired by horror fiction that focuses on survival of the character as the game tries to frighten players with either horror graphics or scary ambiance. I think my game definitely goes under this genre because the player is in a haunted and scary environment, and the aim is to escape and survive. Image of Survival horror game "Haunting Ground" Source here . Gameplay:  These are the features of a video game, such as its plot and the way it is played, as distinct from the graphics and sound effects. My game is set in modern day. The main character of this game is a journalist and discovers a haunted house in the middle of no where. He/ she goes to said haunted house in the middle of a deserted plain to document it and do a little research, without considering the consequences.  It is the middle of the day and there is still sunlight so the house is well il
