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.

Animation Mentor Go!

I just started Animation Mentor today and will start posting animations up on this blog sooner or later. This week's assignment was to update my profile so people get an idea of who I am. Stay tuned for Animation! Here is a Sketch to tide you over until I start animating.
