The document describes the processes taken by Bailey Furman to create a pixelated retro game animation. It involves setting the resolution, creating a timeline of frames, animating a background moving left to right, drawing a character walking with arms raised, making the character jump and explode, and fading the character to red upon losing. Reflections note areas for improvement like making the background and walking animation more detailed, and enhancing the losing effect beyond just fading to red.
Video Game Production Experiments PP
Kai Todd created basic animations to experiment with different techniques for their final project. In the first animation, sprites were positioned and tweens were used to smooth movement as the main character completed objectives. Feedback noted moving background elements added interest but objects need consistent movement. The second animation included a death shrinking animation and game over screen created by coloring the screen black and writing letters frame by frame. Kai plans to further develop the death animation and experiment with different game over screens for the final project.
Task 1 Evaluation
The document summarizes the opening title sequence for the film "Missing". It describes the various creative decisions made in developing the sequence, including taking inspiration from other thriller films like "Taken" and "Dexter". The sequence introduces the main character as she wakes up unaware that she is being watched. Various camera shots and effects are used to suggest someone is spying and build suspense, setting up the thriller genre and mysterious story of a girl who goes missing.
production experiments (interactive)
The document describes the process for creating several art projects. It outlines the steps taken to draw a great sword and halberd weapon, including starting with a simple shape and adding layers of detail. It then explains how a ghost animation was made by drawing the ghost character and creating a background scene with a wooden floor, fireplace and window. The animation was done by importing the ghost and making it transparent as it moved between locations in the background scene. The reflection notes that techniques like detailed layers and ghost transparency will be applied to a future game animation project.

However, planning ideas beforehand and coordinating colors for the prince's cape were successes. For their game project, the author focused on creating the demo level background in Pixilart and adding animated pixel characters and icons. Successes included learning how to use frames and coordinating colors, while struggles included layer organization and character pixels disappearing between frames. The next steps are finishing the demo level and moving to cut scenes.

Reflective journal
The student created practice animations of princes and princesses using Dino Pixel to help plan their final animations. They reflected that placing pixels evenly and matching colors on both sides were challenges. They were happy with how the prince's cape turned out. Creating ideas on paper first was a success. For their game project, the student focused on the demo level, creating pixel characters and animating them using frames on Pixil Art. They added icons and were happy with progress but struggled with layers and frames occasionally cutting characters. Their next steps are finishing the demo level and starting the cut scene.
6. production reflection(2)
The student created a game background using a large pencil size to color the entire canvas blue and add clouds by duplicating a single cloud shape. Characters were designed without faces to subvert expectations and make the game unique. Platforms, ladders, and towers were created on separate layers and duplicated to populate the level. Enemies were made to look cute against the pastel colors. Music was converted to mp3 and sound effects like doors closing and apples crunching were added. The end screen depicts a boat inspired by the game title and was constructed across multiple layers showing the ocean, boat outline, sails, and logos.

Music was found online and converted to mp3 to play continuously in the background. Sound effects for a closing door, apple crunch, and hit were incorporated. Final end screens remained to be added.
Fmp production reflection part 3
The document provides details on the process for creating various promotional assets for a fictional "Star Wars Mass Effect" property, including:
1) Logos were created for studios like EA and Bioware using lens flares and saber effects in After Effects to make them look like holograms.
2) Shirts were designed with phrases and imagery incorporating the Reaper enemy from Mass Effect placed over galaxy backgrounds.
3) Game cases were made using templates found online and filled with the logos and images created earlier.
4) Computer backgrounds reused scenes from the fictional trailer by adding text overlays in Photoshop.
5) Posters were made using 3D models of locations like Cer
4. production experiments
The document describes experiments conducted to create animated assets for a puzzle game. It discusses creating animations of arms holding an object, a character shooting a gun, and a flame. The author tested different numbers of frames and layers and settled on fewer frames for smoother arm movement. Colors were chosen to ensure visibility on any background. Additional experiments included wooden puzzle pieces with different patterns created using color shades. Reflection notes the techniques learned will be applied to production, including bucket and pencil tools, and backgrounds and puzzles will be created before complex animations.

6. production reflection
The document is a production log for a stop motion animation project. It summarizes the student's progress over several weeks as they worked to complete the project. They created characters out of felt and pipe cleaners to practice movements. Sound was added to experiment clips. Locations and lighting were tested. Scenes were storyboarded and filmed. Editing the clips together in Premier Pro took time. An issue arose finding voice actors to record the script, so music was used instead. After further production, the student was happy with the completed project using sound rather than a script.
7. evaluation
The document summarizes the student's process for their film production module (FMP) project. It describes the research conducted on stop-motion animation techniques. Planning involved choosing stop-motion despite lack of experience. Shooting was challenging due to difficulties managing time and weather delays. Peer feedback noted the storyline could be more detailed and shots slowed down to better understand text. The student concluded they would make shots more detailed, slow down title cards and a newspaper article, and choose a simpler project next time.
5.pre production
The document outlines the pre-production planning for a stop-motion animation project using artist dolls. It lists the equipment, props, and locations needed, as well as contingency plans for potential issues like power outages or equipment failures. Health and safety concerns are also addressed, such as tripping hazards and eye strain. The main section provides links to video elements like a title sequence and opening.

The document discusses why kids with autism love Minecraft. It notes that Minecraft allows creativity without strict goals, and its digital worlds provide structure and predictability. The game also encourages social skills through cooperative play and problem-solving.
3. video research
The documents provide examples of existing dungeon-style games that were reviewed for inspiration. Common features included dungeon terrain, collecting keys to unlock levels, avoiding or fighting increasingly difficult mobs to complete levels or boss fights within time limits. Interviews suggested including varying darker colors for backgrounds with brighter character colors, and multiple, gradually increasing difficulty levels.
4. production experiments(1)
The document describes two animation experiments conducted by the author to practice movement sequences and test lighting, setting, and locations for their final animation project. In Experiment 1, the author created a walk cycle of a pipe cleaner figure and sequenced the still images in video editing software. They reflected that this helped understand how many images are needed for smooth movement. In Experiment 2, the author filmed short sequences outdoors without a tripod, testing different elements. They reflected that a storyboard and tripod would be important for the final project to ensure consistency of camera placement and lighting.
3. research(1)
- The target audience is mainly young people aged 16-19, with a roughly even split between male and female viewers.
- Most of the audience prefers an animation length of 2-5 minutes.
- Viewers want the whole animation to be of good quality rather than just parts of it.
- There was a variety of preferences for character materials, but felt dolls may not be the most popular choice.
- The majority of viewers expressed interest in a "how it was made" video accompanying the animation.
- The gender of the lead characters does not seem to matter to most of the audience.
2. proposal
This document outlines a proposal for a stop motion animation project titled "Jumping to 'wild' conclusions". The project will tell the story of two 12-year-old children who go on a camping trip and are mistaken for a bear by wildlife explorers. The intended audience is 8-14 year olds from middle-class families. Over 10 weeks, the proposal involves researching stop motion animation and web design, conducting production experiments, planning the project, producing the animation over multiple weeks, and evaluating the final product. The goal is to show themes of friendship, diversity, adventure, and encourage children to spend more time outdoors.
1. initial plans
The document discusses the initial plans and reaction for a student project involving an animation, website, and newspaper based on a childhood story told by the student's grandfather. The student realizes they need to put in their best effort and feels they enjoy final projects once they understand what to do. They created mood boards for the characters, animation, and website to help influence their final products and provide ideas for the characters and their movements.
8. evaluation
The document summarizes the student's process of creating a pixel art dungeon video game for an evaluation. They began by researching existing games in the genre to inform their design. Their final product included pixel art graphics, obstacles blocking the exit that must be defeated, and different levels accessed by entering and exiting rooms. They based aspects like color scheme, character movement, and location design on games they had studied. Overall, they felt their time management was good but graphics could be improved with more time.
5. proposal
The proposed project is a pixel dungeon zombie game called Pixel dungeon: Zombies, targeted towards ages 10+ of any gender from middle-class backgrounds who enjoy belonging to groups. The game appeals to this audience through its unrealistic gore that would interest 10 year olds, its appeal to all genders, and its accessibility to the middle class who have technology. The proposal references skills learned throughout the year in video game development and Photoshop that will be applied to the project, and how an earlier advergame project will inform this new game. It will involve research into pixel dungeon and zombie games to develop the concept and ensure quality. Ongoing self-evaluation and a final reflection will help improve the developer
7. production reflection
April created a video game project focused on Minecraft. She researched game mechanics and analyzed aspects of Minecraft like the game world, characters, and interface. For her project, she created some pixel art experiments and planned ideas like a Candy Crush-style Minecraft game and a Minecraft dungeon. She practiced pixel art and designed a dungeon where the player fights a zombie boss. She finished her pixel art game, which has a title screen, characters, and sound effects she created. While pixel art was difficult for her, she was glad to complete the project and hopes to improve her skills.
6. pre production
The document provides guidance for pre-production of sound effects for a project. It lists potential sound effects that could be made with a beep box and recommends keeping spare batteries and recording in a quiet location to avoid issues. It also identifies potential problems like equipment failure, background noise, data loss, and weather delays that could be remedied by taking breaks, keeping backups, and planning for alternatives if needed.
4. production experiments
This document discusses an experiment involving graphics and pixel art. The author will include similar color schemes, 8-bit style graphics, and a video game playthrough style in their final product. Elements like color, pixelated artwork, and replicating a gameplay video will be incorporated from the experimental phase.
3. video research
The documents describe existing dungeon-style games that were researched. They share common features like being playable on PC, involving good vs evil gameplay, and increasing difficulty levels. Aspects like simple animation styles and "dungeon run" gameplay where the player must survive against enemies in a timed run will be included in the creator's own game. Potential players were interviewed and their feedback will inform how to design the new game to appeal to the target audience.
2. initial plans
The document outlines an initial plan to create a 2D dungeon run game in the style of Minecraft using simple animation and design, as pixel art is difficult for the author. A mind map and mood board were to be created to develop the main idea and influence the final product, with colors like quartz being tested and potentially incorporated into the game's design.
1. vid case study
This document provides instructions for a case study assignment on video game addiction. Students are asked to choose a game released in the last 5 years and discuss its terminology, audio design, genre characteristics, graphics, and engines. They must also include a paragraph quoting an article on video game addiction. Sources for the addiction section and a sample paragraph are provided.

Animations and haloween game
- 3. I started by drawing the background on the background layer and used a new layer for my pupils and another layer for my mouth as that is the only parts of the character to move. Using these different layers to create the animation.
- 4. I then hid layers to create my animation and shot the facial expressions move but also added in two dark clouds which floated in to create a change in the weather.
- 5. Finally I changed my facial expression to being happy leaving my eyes in the same position as I was looking at the clouds as it started to rain and wrote the caption “I love rain” because when my heads gone crazy the rain cheers me up.
- 6. This is the timeline that I used to set my frames for and do the speeds. I had to experiment with the timings because it took a while to work out which timing worked best. These are the layers I used to complete my animation. By using these different layers it created an animation as I’d made the parts I wanted to be animated and named them so it was easier to locate the layers. Overall I feel my animation was a good attempt and now I can improve my skills.
- 7. My animation
- 9. I did the castle without a template and made it my background layer. I added a character and changed his stance on a new layer to give the illusion of running. Adding the beast and fire on a different layer made it easier to move them and animate them. In this second frame you see the beast has moved and the fireball has missed the character who is now clearly in a running position and it becomes clear he is being chased by the beast and his fire balls.
- 10. Sadly the beast strikes him with the fire and I have shown this by placing the fireball layer over the top of the character running. And of course the inevitable happens and the character is burning on the floor beside the beast. I did this by creating a new layer of the character and adding the flames.
- 11. What more do you need in a Halloween game than a zombiefied Gravestone! This is just to fully understand the character has died on a ghostly night. I did this all on one layer as I didn’t need to animate it. Writing pixel words was also a hassle and the design I wanted was very tricky to do in Pixel form so I had to improvise and tried to create a spooky last frame.
- 12. This is the timeline used for my frames and you can see that the last 3 frames are a little slower than the other, that is because there’s things to take in and read. The timing son the frames create a good fast paced animation which is what I was trying to portray
- 13. Naming the layers was easier to differ from each layer making the creation process faster as I didn’t have to spend as long searching for the right layers. Using arrow keys and my mouse I managed to get it straight and structured.
- 15. This has helped me see that I can do the skills for an adver game I just need the confidence and the layouts to be better and I have also learnt that Naming layers can really boost the performance! Overall this task is helpful and I feel its really helped my skills.
