ZHOUJIAN SHENG
Week 1
STOP MOTION - A PAIR OF SHOE
This week we were doing stop motion with dragon frame. We came up with an idea with a transformation from 3d to 2d form. Then the story is about to find a shoe's counterpart by experiencing a journey. When entering a 2-dimensional space, the shoes become paper cutout footprints, which allows them to move vertically and finally to disintegrate into a firework.
We designed some scene during the journey, such as night mode, looking around, bumping the door, open the door, we try to enrich the story by manipulating these different scenes. Finally, we looked for some music behind which is suitable for our story.
Week 2
Storyboard and assets
This week I am doing an animation with KJ and Oliver. Because we are three person's group, we might have a different style. We decided to make our own character and make it happen in one building which about the morning routine of three residents of the same apartment. We are going to have the first scene about the whole apartment then transfer to everyone's room one by one.
I am creating my assets by using simple lines to draw a character that can be more flexible to move the body. e
I start to animate my assets in after effects. The idea is going to show the morning routine of my character by doing some morning exercises. First I made my character into different layers by defining different individual parts in Illustrator. Then it will be really helpful to animate in After Effects of doing different behaviors.
I also found a background then edited a little bit to make it as a bedroom. At the same time, I added the 3d camera and the light and shadow to give a feeling of sunrise in the morning, the sunlight just shinning into the room then wake the people up.

Based on last week's feedback, it is really helpful for us to reorganize the whole story. We decided to create a beginning and the ending to tell where this story happened. As we discussed before, we found a building image as a basic scene to start the story. And end in the elevator of all three characters. We also found dynamic background music and made transitions scene between every two characters.
It really takes time to fix some technique issues. Finally, I installed the vafuria in unity 2018. This is a great chance to get to know the AR， and I felt interested in making AR pieces. I had some 3d modeling experience so it is kind of familiar to use unity. I felt a real accomplishment to make my own AR piece after watching all tutorials and play around it.
