Animation Personal Project

In my animation class we were assigned a personal project. The project was suppose to be a short animation about whatever we wanted it to be about. After a long time of thinking I came up with the idea of a cob of corn who accidentally gets popped when he gets to close to a a fire. The cob then became a lonely, sad, and kernel-less piece of corn. As he mopes round the corn field he finally finds some companions who have gone through the same thing he has. Although there was more intended for the story, this is were it ends.

The creation of the project began with sketches and doodles like these.

Once the doodles were completed I scanned them in and opened them in photoshop. I then pieced all the parts of the corn together. Next I added color to the back and white drawings. I imported a carton image of popcorn that I found on google into Photoshop.

After the character was completed I needed a background. I looked on google once again and found a picture of a farm with a silo and a lot of corn stalks.

When I was finished with all of my work in Photoshop, I imported all of my work into Premiere Pro. I began using skills I learned in my animation class to create this final animation. 

I would say for future similar projects I need to set more reasonable goals for myself in terms of what my video should be when it is completely finished. The way I wanted the video to be would have required a large amount of added time that I was not able to give. I would keep the creative mindset when creating my next big animation. I enjoyed this project although I was slightly disappointed with the way it turned out. I look forward to doing more projects like it.
