Week 2/26 – 3/1

March 1, 2024 By Lila Mali

Pre-Course Video Approval!

This week has been pretty eventful! I can’t wait to show off one of the approved drafts of the Pre-course video, I’m really happy with how it came out. I’ve also been assigned to work on an upcoming project that has a high involvement with illustration and comics!

Pre-Course Video

It is done! Well, as of now it’s done. The video went through many notes from the original animatic. Luckily, with the workflow from Illustrator to After Effects, making edits was relativley painless, but my file organization became pretty messy.

Here’s the approved draft!

I’m still surprised I was able to make this. It was very out of my comfort zone but I had fun with it!

I’m especially really happy with the segments that portray the studio more accurately. They’re just really cute to look at. The map segment was a part that took a little more planning and notes since it was a little hard to figure how to make the class exits clear and also engaging. With the help of my supervisor, we were able to figure out the scene.

I’m so glad it has a finalized look that can hopefully be shown to students.
