Work process
Project 1: Runway
Work Process
My animation process is a step-by-step procedure, starting with digital sketches and storyboarding to bring my ideas to life. These storyboards serve as a visual roadmap, allowing me to plan key elements like camera angles, shot compositions, and overall flow to achieve a polished final piece. This describes my method for creating a runway animation with the Ahri rig by Matheus Lima available on Gumroad. It involves animating nodes and objects to produce the illusion of movement.
Work process Storyboard
In one of my project plans, I created a storyboard to deepen my understanding and to visualize my ideas through my drawing abilities. This plan aims to improve comprehension of camera angles and to create visual representations of environmental concepts.
