Today was the first proper day of the induction and we've spent a couple of hours creating a 10 second whiteboard animation, inspired by pionerring work such as this video from kristoferstrom:
What I loved about whiteboard animation was the simplicity of the medium and the underlying principles used to create the work, however I found that extensive practice may be required in order to achieve a smooth and cohesive framerate, as well as a second-by-second storyboard for the events in the animation.
We'll get to see what our compiled work looks like next week hopefully!
And thanks to the miracle of time travel, here is the full reel of everyone's work:
Our part runs from 0:44 to 0:48, it should've run for 10 seconds but I think we got carried away in the content of our animation and ended up neglecting the total number of frames, perhaps a more satisfactory effect could be achieved in future by either adding more intermediate frames, spending more time on the piece, or dropping the framerate from 25FPS down to about 10FPS, as showing the reel at 10FPS should increase the runtime from 4 seconds to 10seconds, which was the original intended runtime.
I'm glad we've done this though, as I once heard that the person who makes no mistakes often makes nothing at all :)
(As we later found in the 'Failing Forward' seminar- Damn I love being right!)
