I sat back after finishing some more of my animatic posted here, Then I had this sudden urge to draw. Nothing in particular, just wanted to do something not related to a deadline and basically have some fun with a pen, canvas and a head full of ideas. I eventually came to this. It’s a work in progress as I decide what else to add to it. This is it at the moment:
And I also threw together something horrible and vile. I attempted something a little more abstract:
Never again.
The idea behind this was to design an animation that portrayed various emotions through motion, colour and shapes. So I began by considering each emotion. Began with the simple ones such as happiness, anger, sad, excitement and confusion.
I considered drawing and writing about each of these emotions. You can see the originals in my previous mass sketchbook uploads here and here. However, here’s a cleaner version:
This is just to give a generalise,d but stylish idea of the sorts of materials that I considered for the animation. Unfortunately I didn’t really know how to approach this project mainly because, I apologies, I have never really liked abstract. So I decided to go heads in for this one to get the best ideas.
I applied a piece of music to allow me to portray instruments, or at least sounds, to emphasize the emotions. I decided to use Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, 1st Movement. I chose this out of my selection of classical because it had a varied amount of instruments, but also different pitches and levels of music. I’m not a master of music so sorry if that doesn’t make much sense 
.
Well here is the completed Abstract Animation.
