MORPHING ANIMATION
[ Background Info ]
My objective for this assignment was to Create a 2D animation loop of transforming objects to text using the morphing techniques. The text must be a short phrase of a positive message.
I chose the phrase “Sweet Dreams”
I chose the eye closing because I thought that would be a good depiction of someone being awake and then falling asleep and having dreams. The candy are also taken literally from “sweet” dreams.
I chose a soft and pastel candy-coloured palette that fits the phrase as well as the intended aesthetic of my animation.
The concept of my animation sequence was that there was going to be a big eye in the sky with clouds, stars and birds, and then the eye closes and morphs into the phrase while the environment changes into a dream-scape. The clouds sink to the bottom, the stars swirl into candy while the birds swoop into a halo that surrounds the phrase.
The first set of styleframes have no lineart while the second ones do. I decided in the end to only apply lineart on the clouds in the final animation to portray the details and shape of the clouds better.
