Akwan summer 2019 internship report 1- a brief summery of the internship I was accepted as a preproduction intern at Akwan productions. My assignments included drawing story boards, character design for motion graphics and animation, style tests for the characters and environments. Also I was given 4 exercise assignments to help me understand the protocols of this company. However I spent most of the time working with the art director on Akwan productions’ new brand identity that they will be launching soon. 2 - About Akwan Akwan productions is a creative studio for animations and motion graphics production The company is located in Imam Saud Bin Abdulaziz Road Almasif district, Ryadh, Saudi Arabia. They can be contacted by phone number +966 53 043 4060 and email through their website akwan.tv . My internship at Akwan productions started on the 9th of June and will end on the 25th of July. Under the supervision of the Art director Aisha Albdwelan, according to my supervisor I was one of the first preproduction interns this company had. Akwan productions’ clients range from governments to privet companies some of their most noted clients are Misk, the government of education, Macdonalds, Arab banks… 3- projects and assignment I worked with the preproduction creative team, who are the art director Aisha albedwelan who is also my supervisor, the writer Muhammad Alnamllah, the story board artist Abdullah Hamed, and the creative director Alaa Almactom. 22 - 30
The work flow and protocols were very clear and easy to understand, I first get sent the brief, then we get together with the supervisor to discuss ideas together and to agree on an appropriate deadline, after I am done with the work I send it via the slack workspace to my supervisor in order to get feedback not only from my supervisor but also from the rest of the team, which helps improve my work tremendously, after it gets approved I upload it to the company drive. The assignments I was given by my supervisor varied in difficulty, but the most difficult one for me and the longest was the ( Akwan identity rebranding ), this project was given to us by the creative director, they had a logo but the assignment was to make a new brand identity from concept to applications, we had a meeting with the creative director in which he explained what he envisions for this new brand identity and what kind of branding he would like, so after the meeting we started working on the concept and the patterns, I came up with a space dust concept, that used small pieces of the logo to make patterns and elements for the brand, after that I got started on the icons and processing images, for the icons I used 2 colors from the new identity which are navy and bright pink, also using smooth edges and 3pt line thickness to create a united look for the icons. Regarding the picture processing I used a gradient map layer in the color navy and occasionally pink over the pictures to get a unique look to match the new brand. The next day we had another meeting with the creative director to discuss what we came up with and the next steps. After getting the feedback and finalizing the new brand identity we started working on the company profile and the new website layout. The rest of the assignments I was given were with the preproduction team, the first week I was given a motion graphic exercise analysis, first I was asked to choose three motion graphic and animation shorts from award winning companies like ( giant ant ) and others, after choosing 3, we analyzed each video from the story to art style and sound effects. Then we chose one to make a story board of in order to understand the process and the camera angles. I made a 34 scene storyboard from the short film ( afternoon class ). 23 - 30
Another story board project was for a 1 minute motion graphic video, it was for the client ( civil Affairs ). After reading the script I was given I started sketching the thumbnails for the video, then I showed my supervisor the thumbnails and explained my ideas for the storyboard, after I got the feedback I proceeded to draw the storyboard. Following that we started woking on the art style and art direction of this short motion graphic, it included 2d motion graphics and some 3d elements, so I started making a mood board and style tests for some of the scenes. Then it was presented to the client. I worked on an eid video for tact marketing, i was given a script and a project brief for a 60 second motion graphic video that depicts a Saudi city in the year 2045 so the style was requested to be futuristic with bright colors, i made a style test for the main character and the vehicle and the environment. 4- conclusion I have Gained valuable skills during my internship both social and technical. I gained analytical skills by participating in the art direction process, I also learned how to work as part of a team and still have my voice heard. The tasks I worked on during my internship were very enjoyable and matched my personal interests in terms of sketching and character design. Most of the work I did at the company related closely to my studies. (Akwan rebranding ) project which was almost exactly like the Graphic design 2 course’ project in college. And I had a good background in production thanks to digital media1 and digital media 2 courses. One of the best features of the company is that it does not limit creativity. All the ideas I put forward were heard and taken into account. The sole disadvantage of this company is that the team is not in one place. Many of the production and post production teammates are based in Cairo. This limited my chances of learning animation and production directly from the ones responsible for it. For that reason I don’t think I would intern again at this company because I would like to be more on board with the production part of animation. Overall it was a good experience and I am grateful for the Akwan productions team. 24 - 30
