Poser 1

Week 2, 3, 5, and 8 we had sketchbook assignments where we pose a character to personify certain emotion or ideas.
Week 2 observed real people
Week 2 Stu Pose
Week 3 excitement
Week 3 STU pose this is the one I turned in I needed to pick something more extreme and with a better curve in the spine.

Week 5 devastation
Week 5 STU pose, I did a revision on this one but I like this one better. This was too subtle in emotion. I need to exaggerate the emotions a little more make them more like cartoons.
Week 8 physical strength

Animation Post 1

OK so I started Animation Mentor 9 weeks ago and I have yet to post an animation, I bet some of you (my mom) are wondering what is up with this.
I forgot.
Plus everything seems so preliminary I usually don't really like posting incomplete things. But as I have said before I think part of a blog should be about process and things incomplete so here is the first of many animation posts. So here is a massive Animation dump.







Week 3 planing the assignment was supposed to be a bouncing soccer ball or basket ball.


Week 3 assignment of a ball bounce.








Planning for week 4 heavy and light ball bouncing at the same time.


Week 4 assignment of a heavy and a light ball bouncing at the same time.









Planning for week 5 a bouncing ball going through one of the 3 obstacle courses.


Week 5 assignment obstacle course. This turned out to not be very imaginative, and I needed to do a revision. I did my scene like this because with the time limit I didn't think I could get all of the things I wanted the ball to do and get the ball to settle the way I wanted.

Week 5 revision. I still need to clean up a some of the animation at the end, but it was quite an improvement from the last one.









Week 6 pendulum assignment, this assignment is all about over lapping action.

Week 6 revision. I would post the original but it is pretty much the same except there were a couple of areas that weren't working as well. I still need to do another revision to this one.









Planning for week 7 overlapping action assignment, the assignment for this week was to do a one leg hop or to use Tailor (a ball with a tail). I chose the ball with the one leg because I was having trouble getting the overlapping action on the tail to work right.


Revision for week 7. This the pretty much the same except I changed the way that he hops off the ledge and made it so there were 2 hops instead of 3.
