Weight Project

-

Hi, all! For this assignment, I had to demonstrate weight and have a character struggle with managing something heavy. It took a little bit for the idea to come to mind but once I got it, the rest was relatively smooth sailing. I'm starting to see how animation can be a long process; I would have loved to make this cleaner but I didn't have enough time to unfortunately.

Oh, and here was the reference sheet I made for my character too. I'll be coloring it as well as including a reference for the robot arm as well. Not only is that hunk of metal important for the lore, but it is a pain to draw and I need some consistency with it. Speaking of, I need to be more consistent with his lore too...


That's for another day though! For now, enjoy my stuff!

 Double feature today! Finally getting into the nitty-gritty of 2D animation and I’m loving it. For this assignment, I tried my hand at animating a flour sack trying to chase a fly. Again, I tried to add more to the scene but I ran out of time. I swear it’s not me being lazy. Thus was my 3rd or 4th attempt at doing this because I was not satisfied with my results. There were some seriously amazing flour sack animations in my class and that inspired me to do better.  Hope that you all enjoy it!

 I felt so frustrated with myself because I KNOW I could have done this better. It was a wild ride from start to finish, with my going from doing this on ones to eventually switching over to twos. Even then I felt like I missed the timing with some things and have the background not scroll accordingly. What I thought would be a simple little strut turned out to be a rather stressful endeavor. While I am disappointed that I didn't do more, I am glad I got the learning experience. Definitely going to practice this on my free time.

Overlapping Action

 I need to remember to update this... Here’s another assignment I have done and this time it was with overlapping action. For this, I decided to use a crane machine for the swinging since I’ve had so many experiences with them throughout my childhood.  I initially wanted to add more to it such as the crane closing and pulling a plush out, but I ran out of time. I think I’m starting to get the hang of animation but I know there’s a lot more for me to learn. The biggest skill I would like to master is efficiency since it feels like I take too long focusing on the little things. Here’s hoping!
