You've Insulted Me For the Last Time (the owl house fan animation)
This joke from the owl house pilot was too good to be wasted so I decided to animate it!
I re-storyboarded the scene and animated it with my own acting choices but the audio is directly lifted from the original animatic pilot.
I'm mostly happy with the result, but I couldn't for the life of me find a turn around model sheet for lilith, which made me struggle a lot with her design. I think in the end she looks off in a majority of the frames.
Luz And eda were a lot more straightforward to animate and in general I had a blast making this.
I used toon boom Harmony and the entire process combined took about 7-8 full days of work spread across about a month of summer vacation.

I wasn't working very efficiently in the beginning but my process got more structured as I went. Aside from actual animation, I spent time choosing between different direction/staging/acting choices and studying model sheets. (I couldn't find one for Lilith so trying to get her to look right ate up a lot of time) I might make a video breaking down my process if that seems interesting to people

      @@Crimson_Studios_Thanks, and sure, if that's something that you want to do! On the condition that you credit me for the rough animation if you end up posting it anywhere. If it's any help, the charts on the left indicate spacing and for me they worked as a hierarchy for the order that I clean my frames in. As in keys first (the circled frames) then breakdowns (underlined frames) that are as close to the halway point of the surrounding keys as possible, and then inbetweens which are also marked in relation to the spacing. Approach it however you wish, but I thought I'd just explain my intention with those. When there's this many frames the process can get a bit daunting and this method has previously worked for me.

    Monotony aside its really cool as an animation student to see something that doesn't really get mentioned much (For us at least).

      Thanks, glad to hear it! From what I've heard, it is possible. The school recommends against it though since it's double the work and can be a sign of indecisiveness. But if I recall correctly, a current year CG student told us that they got accepted for both CG and CA and ended up choosing CG. I would email the school about it to figure out the logistics.

    So about the movement section, specifically where you mentioned drawing animated movement, do you think that if we were to do crouqis over key frames of a certain animation dressing it up as a different characters that it would be considered original enough and not flagged as plagiarism? What I was thinking on doing was creating a rock climbing scene similar to the one in the begging of The Croods, so an existing movie, but I'm scared of getting disqualified 😅

    • @MihkaMantynen
      @MihkaMantynen 6 месяцев назад

      It might not directly count as plagiarism, but I would advise against it. In this case I would try to look for live action footage of people climbing rocks instead. Animated movements are a good study in how to simplify something, but they often tend to have mistakes as well. (for example, our teacher this year showed us how almost every animated bird flies incorrectly) Real life should always be the first you reference for body mechanics.

      No worries!

I don't know which template you are using, but as long as you can get your signature on the page, it doesn't matter which program you do it in.

    ⚠IMPORTANT!!!⚠ Hi again! The portfolio requirements from 2024 on have changed a bit and you can find them here: animationworkshop.via.dk/programmes-and-courses/bachelor-programmes/how-to-apply/portfolio-requirements-character-animation The main changes are as follows: -The letter of intention has been swapped out for a max 3 minute video introduction. (Basically the same contents but in a video format) -”Freestyle” and “Optional” have been combined into one category that can be max 5 pages long, and they exclusively want drawing related work -most of the categories require less drawings than before, making it easier for the reviewers to shift through a large amount of portfolios -they have given extra info about each category These changes were made less than two weeks after I uploaded this video, but luckily I think most of what I said here still holds up. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions!

It might be coming back next year though, as the school is experiencing a lot of changes. The best place to stay up-to-date on this is probably the TAW applicant discord: discord.com/invite/9D5yMrZsXM As for the individual test it was online and we were given 4 hours to complete it. We had to make a storyboard based on a prompt they gave us, and then design a character based off of that storyboard and draw them showcasing 3 specific emotions. Hope that helps!
