Daz\u2019s <\/em>participating project \u201cParty<\/em> Time\u201d caught the eyes of the judges and Animation Desk team, and won the 3rd place during iAniMagic2015 contest.<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

Today, the Animation Desk team is honored to invite a longtime user Daz Yang, from Kaohsiung, Taiwan,
\nto share her journey of creation with us.\u00a0Daz has been working in the art industry for several years and has been producing her own animations. In her spare time, Daz enjoys the beauty of hand-drawn and stop-motion animations.<\/p>\n

Daz loves the intuitive and natural hand-made feeling of Animation Desk, \u201cIt\u2019s just like drawing on an actual piece of paper.\u201d, she said. When speaking of her favorite Animation Desk features, Daz strongly recommended storyboard[feature]. \u201cI found Animation Desk very useful when I was drawing a personal short animation storyboard. It can be used as a story planning app,\u201d Daz explained, \u201cI can directly browse all of the frames by clicking on the buttons at the lower left corner. I can also drag the frames by sequence. The app made it extremely convenient for me to conceptualize my film structure. I no longer need to put sticky notes on my wall, all I need is my tablet. Exporting my storyboard into PDF can\u2019t be any easier. I am transitioning from using paper to draw storyboard into doing it digitally.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea of \u201cParty Time\u201d was surprising. Daz went outside the box and transformed the Living Light Box into a button of joy. \u201cI was struggling with what I should draw at first; the key frames were limiting my creativity. I first came up with something very constrained, a story inside the box, but that wasn\u2019t what I wanted,\u201d Daz continued, \u201cThen I thought, \u2018Wouldn\u2019t it be better if it\u2019s not a box, but a button that brings joy in life?\u2019, so there goes the party!\u201d<\/p>\n

Daz took advantage of various Animation Desk functions to meticulously put every detail together in \u201cParty Time\u201d. She utilized multi-layers and onion skin skillfully in her project. \u201cThe layers and cut-and-paste functions<\/span> saved me a lot of effort from having to draw the same objects over and over. I could place the parts that I would not use at the bottom layer, and then it would be very convenient for me to draw or revise from the top layer. Frame editing features allowed me to move objects without changing them, and onion skin<\/span> gave me the ability to see several frames at once!\u201d<\/p>\n

For Daz, Animation Desk is more than just an animation app, it is also an indispensable tool for story and video conceptualization in her everyday life. \u201cAnimation Desk made animation creation convenient and possible on mobile devices. It is also useful for sketching out ideas and creating storyboards. You just need to draw it!\u201d<\/p>\n
