Raziskava govori o piksel art animaciji, ki je bila uporabljena za videospot pesmi 2210 skupine Dravle Records. Namen raziskave je bilo preučiti splošno področje animacij, področje piksel art animacij in njihovega izvora, predstaviti našo animacijo, ter podrobno analizirati postopek njene izdelave in ugotoviti morebitne izboljšave. Animacija je bila narejena v dveh programih. Program Adobe Photoshop smo uporabljali za pripravo grafičnih elementov, medtem ko je bil za animiranje uporabljen program Adobe After Effects. Za pripravo grafičnih elementov smo si pomagali z grafično tablico, celotna animacija pa je bila animirana na prenosniku Dell. Izdelava je trajala približno pol leta, v tem času pa smo ročno narisali vse like, ozadja in dodatne grafike, ter jih animirali z uporabo številnih osnovnih in naprednejših tehnik animiranja. Cilji raziskave so bili predvsem bolje spoznati področje animacije, podrobno preučiti našo animacijo, in odkriti morebitne napake pri procesu, ter predlagati izboljšave. Hkrati je bil eden izmed večjih ciljev izboljšati osebno znanje animiranja4 in se bolje pripraviti na prihodnje projekte. Cilji so bili v veliki meri doseženi. Kot posledica natančno preučenega področja animacij in postopka njihovih izdelav, smo med ponovnim preučevanjem naše animacije opazili veliko nepravilnosti v njeni izdelavi ter izpuščenih postopkov. V raziskavi so omenjene predlagane izboljšave in metode, s katerimi bi do teh izboljšav prišli.

Abstract

The research is about a pixel art animation, that was used for a music video of a song called 2210 from the group Dravle Records. The purpose of the research was to examine the general field of animations, pixel art animations and their origin, present our animation, and thoroughly analyse the animation's making and its potential improvements. The animation was made in two programs. Adobe Photoshop was used to prepare the graphic elements, while Adobe After Effects was used for the animation part. We used a graphic tablet to prepare the graphic elements. The whole animation was made on a Dell laptop. The production took about half a year, during which time we manually drew all the characters, backgrounds and additional graphics. We animated them with the use of many basic and advanced techniques. The main objectives of the research were to get to know the field of animation better, study our animation in detail, discover possible mistakes in the process, and suggest improvements. At the same time, one of the primary goals was to improve personal animation skills and better prepare for future projects. The goals were largely achieved. As a result of a carefully studied field of animations and the production process, during the re-examination of our animation we noticed many irregularities in its production and omitted procedures. The research mentions proposed improvements and methods to achieve these improvements.
