What's this project?
I was an animation intern for Menfes Interactive over the summer. My job was to make a lined animation from a given animatic. After I had finished my internship, I was contracted back on with Menfes as a colorist to do flat colors for the animation. This is my progress through that animation!
My Animation!
This was the animation I had done for my internship with UPG/Menfes Interactive! It's a fight animation with their character Benpo, the Unwrapped mummy, which is part of their Swords and Scales Storyline! (You can check out their Page on their Sword and Scales project through the button below!)
My Progress!!
Here is the progress of my work from initial start with an animatic all the way to lined animation even with some color!
01
This was the animatic provided to me by my Internship (Menfes Interactive)
(All rights of this video and character belong to them.)
02
I recreated the animatic in my style and used the process of working though it to help me understand/figure out better where to put characters and how they were planned to move and such. (I also decided to change some things.
03
There were characters in the animatic that interacted with Benpo but didn't have designs. so I designed them and sent them to my supervisor to get them approved. from the top down is, the first versions, second/final versions, and colors of the final versions.
The 2nd character from the left with the red and gold shirt is Benpo. He is not my design, he is the main character of the animation and belongs to Menfes interactive.
(If you would like to see more of my character designs from other things feel free to click on the button or go to the top of the page to head over to my character designs page!)
04
Here are two little exports of things I was roughing out to change from the original animatic. The second one with the big guy attacking Benpo actually changed again before the rough animation.
05
Here is my rough animation, figuring out how I want everything to move and implementing a few more changes.
06
Here is the in-betweens, finishing the main movements of the animation and adding details like clothing and such.
07
Here is the lined animation, the final piece required for the internship.
08
I had extra time for my internship so I was offered to help color a little so I did colors for Benpo and the Gun Man.
09
I was contracted back on with Menfis Int to help with the flat colors for the animation! So bam!! Double Bonus! :D
