Focal Point : The tiramisu dish in the centre


Progress

For art direction wise, it's already clear, though the composition wise, it is too blocky, lack of flow. Find new references to get a better composition.

Fig 2.5 - References

I am mainly inspired with the Crepes Recipe layout, however the flow in that reference is quite off, so other references are more inspirations for the steps. I decided to add more illustrations as I feel that some steps are lacking of clarity.

Fig 4.0 - Storyboard

This is how the overall storyboard would look like, integrating the animations of how each page would be presented. The art style is made accordingly with the previous poster, which is watercolor. Hence, all the elements will be drawn again based on how the animation will be made. 


Animatics

For the Animatics, I make it using procreate and discuss it with my partner on how the overall animation would be. We decided to make it into a recipe book and pan each steps from it. 


Animation Stage: 

Fig 4.1 - Progress Animation 1

For the first animation stage, we used a table background at first. However, according to Mr. Martin's feedback, it looks too dull and better to be changed. For the animation itself, I use mainly these tools:
  • Liquify   : I liquify the yolk to put it in the bowl 
  • Position  : I made the position change, from top to the bowl
  • Rotate    : I rotate the egg shell accordingly with the movement

Fig 4.2 - Progress Animation 2
For this stage its quite long, but the process is quite repetitive like the previous one. I also removed the table background because it looked to dull according to the feedback I received. 
  • Liquify   : I liquify the sugar, 
  • Position  : The ingredients and utensils
  • Rotate    : The ingredients and utensils
  • Shape     : When the mixture changed after mixing, I use the shape tool and liquify it a bit

Fig 4.3 - Progress Animation 3
For this stage, it would be a stop motion. Here are the tools I used
  • Position  : The ingredients and utensils
  • Rotate     : The ingredients and utensils
  • Color       : To change the before and after the biscuit after the coffee
  • Masking  : For the biscuits in the edges, so it doesn't overlap the container

For this stage, I add the text and panned the pages, zooming it one by one. The initial plan was to animate the text by having it slowly fading in per text. However, due to the limitation of processor and RAM, this plan was not able to be executed, so we fade in the entire text in one go. Here are the tools I used.
  • Null        : Null layer to change the
    • Position  : The position of the book,
    • Scale      : The size of the book,  zoom in and out naturally
  • Opacity  : To animate the fade in and out
  • Spacing  : To fix the spacing and strokes of the text so it remained readable

Same as previous, this time for the ingredients. I included all the elements draw before hand, also the one that I have included in the poster. Moreover
  • Null        : Null layer to change the
    • Position  : The position of the book,
    • Scale      : The size of the book,  zoom in and out naturally
  • Opacity  : To animate the fade in and out the steps texts

Feedbacks

Week 5
Consultation 1: 
Personal poster: 
For art direction wise, it's already clear, though the composition wise, it is too blocky, lack of flow. Find new references to get a better composition.

Group:
Storyboard is already okay, can proceed
Week 6
Consultation 1:  
Make the animatics first before jumping into animation. Change the background color, the bowl color

Consultation 2:  
Synchronize the style of the animation, the fade in and fade out, for the egg crack make the movement faster. 

Week 7
Consultation 1: 
Overall okay, but need to discuss what kind of animation would it be when the pages are flipped

Consultation 2: 
Step 1 and Step 4 got overlayed. For the last part, "voila", wait the spoon to pan before zooming to the Project by. Some steps are too wordy, you can either animate it or just highlight the important keywords. There is a glitch in step 4. For the ingredients part, its too fast, make it slower and zoom more.
