My final Project is an adaptation of a story written by Babs Horton. The story is a Holiday romance about an English school mistress who is caught swimming naked on a secluded beach in Spain.
Initially I was inspired to paint my animation using oil paint on glass after watching the Bird and the Whale by Carol Freeman. I liked the paint and brush stroke quality of the animation and wanted to achieve this myself. I wanted to combine the best qualities of traditional painting with contemporary digital animation techniques. To achieve this I developed a process where I painted all characters and backgrounds, scanned them digitally and animated them with a digital animation program called MOHO.
I have created colour schemes to suit the different moods of my film. I have painted the Spanish scenes in bright vibrant colours to create dreamlike scenes. The London scenes are painted in Blue/purple colours to emphasise the sadness she feels being back home and to contrast with the Spanish Scenes. The background artwork was inspired by Disney’s 101 Dalmatians.
Mae fy mhrosiect terfynol yn addasiad o stori gan Babs Horton. Stori am ramant athrawes ysgol o Loegr pan ar wyliau yw hi, sy’n cael ei dal yn nofio’n noeth ar draeth diarffordd yn Sbaen.
Yn y lle cyntaf, cefais fy ysbrydoli i beintio fy animeiddiad gan ddefnyddio paent olew ar wydr ar ôl gwylio The Bird and the Whale gan Carol Freeman. Roeddwn i’n hoffi ansawdd y paent a’r brwsio yn yr animeiddiad ac roeddwn i eisiau cyflawni hyn fy hun. Roeddwn i eisiau cyfuno rhinweddau gorau peintio traddodiadol â thechnegau animeiddio digidol cyfoes. I gyflawni hyn, fe wnes i ddatblygu proses lle’r oeddwn i’n peintio pob cymeriad a chefndir, eu sganio nhw’n ddigidol a’u hanimeiddio gyda rhaglen animeiddio ddigidol o’r enw MOHO. Dwi wedi creu cynlluniau lliw i weddu i wahanol hwyliau fy ffilm. Dwi wedi peintio’r golygfeydd Sbaeneg mewn lliwiau bywiog i greu golygfeydd breuddwydiol. Mae’r golygfeydd yn Llundain wedi’u peintio mewn lliwiau glas/porffor i bwysleisio’r tristwch mae hi’n ei deimlo yn ôl gartref ac i gyferbynnu â’r golygfeydd yn Sbaen. Ysbrydolwyd y gwaith celf cefndir gan 101 Dalmatians gan Disney.
