WELCOME TO YANGON

What it is about

It’s more of a summary to the story since the whole thing won’t fit into 2 minutes of less.

Introduction to characters and enemies of the series Small fight clips of every character to show their skills

and powers. Meaning of story: There are even superheroes in the

most corrupt and poorest of countries.

In the city of Yangon, in a 3rd world country corrupted and ruled by greedy rich villains, criminals and gang leaders fill the streets terrorising normal citizens. Several wealthy High school students join up to create a superhero team to stop crime and work their way up to the corrupted villain government that rules the country.

Myanmar being a heavily religious, magical and mysterious country, has more than just average criminals. Besides guns, brute force and technology, criminals and gangsters also use dark magic and mystical creatures to overpower the city.

What will be shown in this animation? (full animation story)

Begins with a shot of the city as the sun rises, then it changes to a closer shot showing the streets filled with criminals taking advantage over citizens.

7 heroes enter the scene and fights a group of criminals and later the gang leader

The heroes then successfully defeats the villains and looks up to find whole city is run by criminal leaders. They retreat for now...

The scene changes to a High school building where a couple of students meet up at the entrance and are late for class.

The students walk past the camera view revealing their backpacks where most have their superhero costumes hanging out.

The camera then pans away from the walking students to nearby lockers (seeing through the lockers) to show the rest of the costumes and even more... END

Key Features 3D animation for correcting timing and camera angles Rotoscoping into 2D Animation using Photoshop Focusing on the animation of characters No voices or lip-syncing (because it’s a music video)

Why in 2D? There are more than 10 characters and some are

only appearing for a couple of seconds in different angles- modelling, texturing, and rigging all of them will be too much.

Easier to later add character details, colors, and shadings to the rotoscoped animation than texturing.

All 2D animation looks more visually appealing than a 3D that isn’t properlyy taken time with.

Programs used for this project Maya (animation and camera angle) Photoshop (rotoscope with details, color and

shading) Photoshop, Flash or After Effects (render

pictures to video file) Mixcraft (Music and aidio editing) Adobe After effects (Visual Effects, audio and

music addition)

Background Team- Chirat Srigatesook (SOLO)Work Breakdown Researching- Ideas, Inspiration, Techniques Music – Soundtrack that matches and brings excitement to

viewers. Mixcraft- Edit music (decrease length of play) Storyboarding (Camera Angles, Animation plans, Character

position) 3D animation (Maya)- Using one basic rigged model (create or find ready-made)- Animate models (corrections and timings)- Add good camera angles and camera movement- Render 2D animation (Photoshop)- Draw over 3D renders (rotoscope)- Adding in details of each characters, color, and shading.- Effects (After Effects)- Add in motion blurs, and shiny visual effects
