This is just a small test for the use of Adobe Character Animator & AfterEffects.

This is a process of recording about how use Adobe Character Animator& AfterEffects to create a motion track of character. In the beginning of the creation, I had a lot of hesitation and confusion about how to make the character move. James suggested me that I can try to use Adobe Character Animator& AfterEffects and gave me a teaching video. By studying the video later, I tried to make a simple experiment which is very helpful. The character is easy to move and the movement is naturally and smooth. I think it is a good method for my production so I will continue my work by this way.

This week I improved the storyboard and added sevral  scenes.

And then I wrote a storyline for this video and explained this storyboard. This video match the artistic conception of music, at the same time focuses on highlighting the charm of members. So the aesthetic feeling of images is very important.

This video narrates a story about painting. In the first frame, a box is in a desk. Suddenly, a shadow appears and he holds a dangly pocket watch which means the time is passing. Aron is a painter and he keeps painting in empty easel. And then other members continues to appear in the other images. Minhyun appears in a magnificent hall, and then Ren sits on the bed and looks out the window. The following scene they appears in the pool side at the same time. JR comes from the end of the corridor with so many flowers on both walls and he stretches out his hand to pick a flower. Baekho holds a colour smokestick stands beside a gas station. Under the same night sky, JR sits in a car. Next, these images repeats and staggers constantly. All frames are very colorful and bright. The box is opened and there are five gems in the box which means five gems represents five boys who are Aron, JR, Baekho, Minhyun, and Ren. The key of box falls into the water. Five pictures with members appears in the ground of room. Actually, these boys belongs to the pictures.

Under the suggestion of tutor, I chose the theme at first, and then I drew the storyboard of music video on the basic of theme song.

Since the melody of theme song is emotional so I set the frames of video are romantic and dreamlike.

And a video of idol band that need focus on highlighting the charm of idols to match the song. And the idols were drawn by me so I chose painting as the theme of video.

Five flower boys like from the pictures which just corresponds the hot topic in Korean called “만찢남” that means the man torn the comic and walk out of it.

This is a first draft and then I will improve it.

For a music video, the theme song is most important.

I chose a song as the backgroung music  of this music video and I got the copyright of the song.

The song is a piano instrumental of a song named “I need you” which is from a Korean band named BTS.

This original song is electronic dance music and typical k-pop style which changed more emotional and dreamlike after re-arranging.
