this one is concern:

and this one is strength:

and this one is dispare:

week8&9

and in week 8 and 9 we started to study walk cycles. really cool things happening here, plus we got to start animating bipeds!

week7

ok, so in week7 it really started getting interesting for me. we had to animate tailor, and squirl like character, and we got to show some personality in our animation! here we focused on overlapping action like before, but also incorporating some squash and stretch as well as a little humor....

wow, there has been so much going on since i was last here! this is my 7th week of AM and its still the coolest place ever! ive been learning so much and i feel like animation is finally making sense. its really neat to be able to see something in your head and be able to duplicate it without having the computer limit you. last week i finished a challenging assignment of overlapping action with a pendulum. and just for fun i added a couple of bouncing balls...

and heres the planning i did for it

the week before that i had to animate a bouncing ball that went through an obstacle course. this assignment focused on squash and stretch.

and the week before that i animated the heavy and light bouncing balls. this assignment focused on using space and timing to show believable weight.
