For me, the reason I came here was to learn 2D animation, so I think it was fitting I chose 2D animation as my last project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My friend Christa and I decided to team up to create a 2D animation together. For her, the challenge was that she had never attempted 2D animation before. For me, my challenge was teaching her and attempting to compose difficult shots. I used my knowledge of 2D animation from last year to use Photoshop and After Effects to complete the animation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Process<\/h3>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" scoped>.rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner{\n\t\t\t\tmargin: 50px auto;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50px;\n\t\t\t\theight: 40px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\tfont-size: 10px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner > div{\n\t\t\t  background-color: #333;\n\t\t\t  height: 100%;\n\t\t\t  width: 6px;\n\t\t\t  display: inline-block;\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation: rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\n\t\t\t  animation: rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-stretchdelay 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner .rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect2 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.1s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.1s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner .rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect3 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -1.0s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -1.0s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner .rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect4 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.9s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.9s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner .rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect5 {\n\t\t\t  -webkit-animation-delay: -0.8s;\n\t\t\t  animation-delay: -0.8s;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t@-webkit-keyframes rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-stretchdelay {\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4) }  \n\t\t\t  20% { -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0) }\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t@keyframes rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-stretchdelay {\n\t\t\t  0%, 40%, 100% { \n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(0.4);\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.4);\n\t\t\t  }  20% { \n\t\t\t    transform: scaleY(1.0);\n\t\t\t    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.0);\n\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t}<\/style><div id=\"robo-gallery-slider-wraprbs_gallery_6ad886f893042\" class=\"robo-gallery-slider-wrap robo-gallery-slider-wrap-id929 robo-gallery-slider\"><div id=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-block-loader\" class=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Spinner\"><div class=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect1\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect2\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect3\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect4\"><\/div> <div class=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042Rect5\"><\/div><\/div><div id=\"robo-gallery-slider-block-rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042\"  data-options=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042\" \n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"swiper-container robo-gallery-slider-container robo-gallery-slider-929\" \n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width:100%;height:120vh;  display: none;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t><div id=\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042\" class=\"swiper-wrapper robo-slider-gallery  \"><div class=\"swiper-slide  swiper-lazy \" \n \t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image:url(&#039;https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~MayaSu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sashimodel.jpg&#039;);\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-desc swiper-slide-desc-dark\">Sashi&#039;s reference sheet<\/div><div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide  swiper-lazy \" \n \t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image:url(&#039;https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~MayaSu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/storyboards-scaled.jpg&#039;);\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-desc swiper-slide-desc-dark\">Storyboards<\/div><div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide  swiper-lazy \" \n \t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image:url(&#039;https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~MayaSu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sahsi-for-edit.jpg&#039;);\" ><div class=\"swiper-slide-desc swiper-slide-desc-dark\">Sashi design<\/div><div class=\"swiper-lazy-preloader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-scrollbar\"><\/div><div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><script>var rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042 = {\"version\":\"5.2.6\",\"id\":929,\"class\":\"id929\",\"roboGalleryDelay\":1000,\"mainContainer\":\"#robo_gallery_main_block_rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042\",\"loadingContainer\":\"#rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-block-loader\",\"loadingContainerObj\":\"rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042-block-loader\",\"loop\":true,\"centeredSlides\":true,\"preloadImages\":false,\"lazy\":true,\"effect\":\"slide\",\"direction\":\"horizontal\",\"navigation\":{\"nextEl\":\".swiper-button-next\",\"prevEl\":\".swiper-button-prev\"},\"scrollbar\":{\"el\":\".swiper-scrollbar\",\"draggable\":true},\"pagination\":{\"el\":\".swiper-pagination\",\"type\":\"bullets\",\"clickable\":true,\"dynamicBullets\":true},\"wrapContainer\":\"#robo-gallery-wrap-rbs_gallery_6ad886f893042\"};<\/script>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our project, we decided to use a character that Christa had already designed.

Reflection<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christa and I are both passionate about 2D animation. She didn\u2019t get to do it because she joined Freestyle in her senior year, where our animation course focuses on 3D animation. So we decided to create a 2D animation together. To make the brainstorming process easier, we decided to use a character Christa had designed a while ago since we were both familiar with what her personality is like. We also knew the animation had to be short because of the amount of time we had to work on it. With these two things in mind, we decided to create a short clip of her showing off her abilities similar to character trailers for video games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were inspired by types of trailers&nbsp; for characters like the ones for Genshin Impact or Super Smash Bros. For the animation itself, we looked at various different animated shows and movies we liked for reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had to figure out how to collaborate at first since Christa was in AM and I was in PM classes, but in the end it kind of made it easier to work on the same file at different times. I think the hardest part for Christa was learning animation in Photoshop since she usually uses Krita for drawing and hadn\u2019t done 2D animation before. For me, the hardest part was understanding&nbsp; the technical aspects of figuring out someone else\u2019s file organization and the exact style we were going for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I could do the project over, with the same time constraints as before, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a lot we would have wanted to do differently except for maybe adding shading. However, with more time, we would\u2019ve liked to make more short clips showcasing different characters, or do a full fight scene with Sashi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think I improved the most with collaboration. We were good with meeting our deadlines and checking in on what we each needed to make the piece look unified in spite of our different art styles. I felt like I knew more about how to work together with someone on a project compared to how I was when I started at Freestyle. I don\u2019t think I improved that much with addressing global issues, but the primary purpose of the art I make is for more lighthearted entertainment so that makes sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, I\u2019m proud of our Zenith and how far I\u2019ve personally come since I started animating. I feel like this project in particular showcases not only the technical animation skills I\u2019ve learned at Freestyle, but the collaborative ones too.
