Final Submission 4. Reflection 1. INSTRUCTION 2. PROGRESS RECORDING Based on Project 2, I chose to use all three of my Photo Bashing works for the Final Project.

My idea is to use After Effects to show the three scenes one after another in the same order presented here, creating a complete journey through the environment. The animation will begin at the entrance of the forest and move toward the castle. It will then show the view inside the castle corridor before passing through the corridor and arriving at the edge of the forest behind the castle. In this way, the three scenes will form one complete route through the environment. To make the scene animation ...

Below are the three scene sketches I selec...

Submission 4. Reflection 1. INSTRUCTION 2. PROGRESS RECORDING 2.0 Selected Composition Work: In Project 1, we needed to choose one of the three composition works we completed earlier. We then used the selected composition to draw five sketches of the same scene from different angles. The selected composition will also be used as the basis for the following stages of the final work. Below is the composition I selected from my three previous works. For this scene, my main inspiration came from a fantasy animated short film, as shown in the image on the left. The short film shows characters exploring a magical natural world. I did not directly co...
