PROCESS WORK
Research
I paired with my friend Loh Kai Xuan for this project. We chose to use my
chosen cannoli recipe for the video.

Before drawing the storyboard, I studied some recipe motion graphic videos
on YouTube for their visual and animation style.

We agreed on a simple lineless style for the video so we reused some assets
from my instructable poster.

I separated the illustrations we were going to use, sent the pastry files to
Kai Xuan and used the cream files myself.

Pre-production
The storyboard had to be changed a couple of times with Kai Xuan's help and
input but this is the best version that we came up with.

After Effects Cream Animation
We split the video into 2 separate parts. Kai Xuan did the pastry part while I
did the cream part. I followed the animatic and storyboard closely matching
the plan with some minor changes.

I added a liquid animation in the sugar pouring. To do this I followed a
tutorial on YouTube.

She also compiled and edited the sound effects in Adobe Audition and added
the background music. Once everything was finalized, I resized the video
down to 1280 x 720px and uploaded it into YouTube.
Compilation
Kai Xuan compiled and edited both of our parts on Adobe Premiere Pro.

FEEDBACK
Week 6
Good storyboard. Try to figure out how to fit the video length requirement.
Week 7
- Straighten the boxes in the storyboard
- Add the titles for the pastry and cream segments in the animatic
Week 8
- Good timing on the animation
- The sugar pouring animation clips into the sugar bottle
- The ricotta animation should look different by scaling up the chunks
instead of using opacity
- The spoon stirring animation should last longer
- After the mixture goes through the sieve, the animation should look
different
- The filling animation should look different instead of using opacity
- Add more sugar particles at the end
REFLECTION
I like how the final animation turned out even though the vector
illustration process was pretty tedious. I'm thankful that I got to work
with my friend and create something nice together. My lecturer, Mr.
Kannan's feedback have also been helpful in improving the
animations.
