Experimentation Pt.2

e x p e r i m e n t

This section will cover all of my design choices, references, and animation progression work.

I N T R O

I used neutral colours ( + 1 blue) at the beginning of the animation because the neutral colours reflect a society that expects traditional gender roles from women, which is very dull and old-fashioned. Suitable for the era when the movement started, which is the 1960s.

2 n d h a l f t o e n d i n g

In the second half till ending, I used bright colours to create a pop colour scheme. This colour scheme reflects with the modernity of the movement and it resembles breaking away from the neutral tone, which represents traditional norms.

As for the modernity aspect, it correlates together with the rise of the pop art movement, which began in the mid-1950s. And a few of the popular pieces from this time, which are Crying Girl by Roy Lichtenstein, and Shot Marilyns by Andy Warhol, uses a similar colour palette.

Subconsciously, the viewers will associate the scenes done in this colour scheme to these popular pop art pieces, which translates to modernity and pop-culture

Anatomy body pose reference by Hajime Sawatari

a n a t o m y

For my anatomy illustration style, I tried to emulate these two prints style. Which only uses 2 colours and overall a very minimal style to it.

I l l u s t r a t i o n

These two images are the illustration that gave me an idea on how I wanted my illustration images to look like. A lot of colours + symbols.

a n i m a t i o n

As for animation flow, transition and generally some idea on how I wanted to animate the data, I used references from anime openings.

I tried to emulate how they do their transitions through camera shifts and image dragging.

Some image references used in the animation.

all references sources are linked within the images

This section is a compilation of my animation progresses. Some changes that I made include timing, illustration style, and colour schemes.

h e a d t u r n

I changed the hair style, + the speed. The melting part represents breaking away from the set societal norm and acts as a transition scene to the Sexual Liberation Movement.

script: a rebellion labelled as the sexual liberation movement

m o v e m e n t i n t r o

Intro to the Sexual Liberation Movement. The words on the protest are taken from protest pictures that I found online.

script: the movement started in the

united states from the 1960s to 1980s

s u p p o r t

Statistics for support towards sex workers. The major change is the timing and speed.

script: when it comes to the support of sex-workers

g a p & S u p p o r t %

Illustration to show the gap that has shrunk + percentage of those who support sex-workers.

e m p o w e r e d

For the final scene, I used a sun + rays as the empowered symbol on the characters body.

script: with people who does sex-work to feel empowered

script: the gap has shrunk between those who

answered yes and no. with 26% being in support of sex-workers, while 24% are not, and the remaining 50% are neutral.

e m p o w e r e d - %

% answer for respondents view on people who does sex-work to feel liberated

script: Finally 37% were neutral,

20% disagreed and the remainder 44% agreed

3 d m o d e l s

For the anatomy drawing, I mainly use the 3D models that came together with the application. This feature really helped in reducing the amount of time I needed to draw the more complex part of the animation.
