Komi

Hello everyone, here is this month's animation featuring Komi from Komi can't Communicate.

It's certainly been a while since I've seen a character win a poll by such a landslide.
Having seen the first season, I wasn't too big on it but I will certainly admit that Komi is quite cute. I was worried a bit at first that I wouldn't be able to come up with something for this one since it is just another school type setting, but Komi has a pretty unique aesthetic with regards to character design which I quite enjoyed animating.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the startled expression Komi often gets when interacting  with others as well as the spontaneous cat ears so I tried to incorporate that into the animation a bit since it's super cute. I also feel like the new format turned out a little smoother than the last two animations, specifically the climax. I also tried to experiment with a few different camera cuts this time as well trying to learn Fusion in resolve 17 so I can get some smoother transitions. There was one cut in this animation where the camera pans from Komi's face to her chest and then back to her face which I think turned out really smooth. I'll continue experimenting with different cuts to try and eventually reach a format that feels very fluid with the various cuts.

That's all for now. As always, thank you for your continued support and I hope you enjoy the animation!
