MORPH - 2D Animation

•

This is a full class animation project themed at the ocean. Each student was to draw an object or character and the task was to create a 4 second morph from your drawing to that of the student on your right. Mine in specific is the seahorse morphing to the diving girl (01:04).

The most difficult part was deciding what needs to be changed in order to make the morphing process as smooth as possible. Another level of complication is added with color. Going from my sea horse's dark colors to the skin toned ones ones of the girl was no simple task. Creating the gradient effect to the colors allowed me to do so well. Moreover, so as to show the depth of the girl diving while not shifting the scale I added the moving seaweed in the background to give that illusion.

Digital Drawing

Here I took what worked from the pencil test and re-drew it on photoshop. I ended up changing the morphing process a lot since it wasn't quite working at first.
