Final Peace One Day Animation

Finally we are finished with our Peace One Day Animation. I really feel that I need a lot more work with this piece just due to the fact that the 2D pieces of animation didn't really turn out the way I wanted them to. And I had a little trouble with the tracking of the 2D objects on the 3D objects which was a real pain in the behind. But I think I might be able to finish this piece in the future after figuring things out and getting it to where I am super proud of it.

POD Halfway Point

For the halfway point I was able to model all of the bookshelves and books on the shelfs, a table and room setting for my library scene. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks. The lighting turned out nice and the models actually came out better than I anticipated. Now that I got a bit of a foundation with the camera movement and models I can put together the hard stuff, or harder I should say.

POD Test Animation


For this test animation I decided to work with my page turn. Feeling that this was going to be one of the more difficult parts and important parts of the animation, I wanted to try and get this part done so I could work out any problems I might have later on. I was able to figure out how to do the page turn, but there were still some glitches so I went back in to fix the problems.

Peace One Day Models


For this project we were to build some of the most important models for our Peace One day PSA. I only got the book shelf and one book down, but they turned out pretty decent. I still had to mess with the book so that I could model it for animation as well. I was really pleased with the bookshelf though.
