Class I, week 05

Hi! Today I'll show you my pendulum :D Honestly, it was very difficult task for me. I'm currently in week 7 and we animated the ball with tail (Tailor) but I think that pendulum was harder! I had to fix it a lot of times... It was our first animation of overlapping action - quite difficult topic.

My sketch:

and my animation after two critiques:



My biggest problem was the speed of the chain when the block slows down.  I hope now it looks good :)

And our second task was posing (I love it!).
Theme: devastation

Class I, week 04

Recently we had to make one bouncing ball. This week (wow it's one month already!) our task is to animate two bouncing balls, one light and one heavy.

My planning:

And my animation (after Scott's critique):

This week we were assigned to peer buddies. It's awesome idea because we get a lot of help from them, they are in the class 2-6 so we can ask them about animation and AM. The best thing is that I have TWO peer buddies (by mistake) and it's really cool :D

Class I, week 03

Hey!

"The third week" means that we finally begin to animate! It's "just" bouncing ball but this task is really important. It helps us understand what the timing and spacing are.
First part of our ball assignment - sketch:

And we also had to make an EXCITEMENT position sketches and then pose Stewart.

I wanted to do something more unique than just joyful jump with hands up :P  I found out that sportsmen are very inspiring! Their gestures are so expressing and clear. I wanted to choose excited footballer, but suddenly I reminded about... "Singing in the rain!". So one of my favorite movies was my inspiration :) I changed and exaggerated this pose a bit because I needed more cartoon style.

 Hooray! :)
