Project 2 - That (Decisive) Moment

This week, we were introduced to our second project, which is titled as 'That (Decisive) Moment'. For this project, we needed to research on an urban legend and create an illustration and limited animation for the particular legend we chose to work with. The animation should be a turning point of what happens. It must also be in an art deco style.

I decided to go with the story of Jogger's Hill at Riverdale Road. I started researching and sketching to get some ideas.

In this week, we learned about the different transitions and we how we can apply it to this project. We also had time to consult with Mr Kannan in which I showed him my sketches to get some feedback. He gave me some ideas and advised me to sketch more and choose the best idea.

Rough draft of the final idea

I also started with the illustration by searching for reference photos and using them to either trace or pick out colours. I started with the illustration of the car first, followed by the landscape of the hill (background).

This week, I've tried various ways and colours for the illustration to see what worked best.

Experimenting with colours

Once I got the colours, I moved on with the artboards to create the animation.

This week, we showed Mr Hafiz our progress for this project and he gave some feedback on our work. I was told that I could make the headlights flicker another time before the shadowy figure appears. I could also make the car bigger for a better composition.
