Walk Cycles

Posted on 04:46 by Unknown
I found "The Animators survival kit" a very useful reference for this.. After reading some info on Walk cycles I sketched out some thumbnails to work from then got down to it. It helped having seperate colours for the different limbs. For the second half I was able to copy the first half of drawings by just switching the colours of the limbs.




I enjoyed doing the 3D walk as I'm beginning to get used to the software. I found it easier to do then I expected. It helped doing the 2D walk beforehand to strengthen my knowledge of the different steps in a walk cycle.

Experimental Cut-out Animation

Posted on 03:07 by Unknown
Here is my work for the experimental cut-out Animation project:




I really enjoyed working on this as it is a quick way to get your ideas into an Animation..
In hind-sight I would have given more frames to the 2 skiers who look a bit confused at the scene going on in front of them.

Here is a faster version:





I love the Mighty Boosh animations and am fairly sure that they use the same technique. They are always very inventive - and seem to follow a stream of consciousness (from the minds of Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding). The animations contain great characters, are full of colour and always contribute to the story.

2D and 3D animation exercises complete!

Posted on 03:48 by Unknown
2D Animation:

I feel confident that I have grasped the main principles of Timing, Squash and stretch, Anticipation and Over lapse, Exaggeration and Emotion. I timed myself doing a jump before hand to help with the timing.




3D Animation:

I feel happy with the character that I gave to Cubey.. he definitely looks sad then happy. In future I will be more aware about keeping the volume the same to increase the realism of it.




We have seen some more interesting Animations in the last couple of weeks.

"Sita sings the blues" was very good artistically with great use of colour and creative character designs. It told the Indian story of Rama through different characters. You can watch it all for free at the website...

"The Hand" by Jiri Trnka is a short yet very powerful and engaging stop motion Animation reflecting on how Artists are recruited to spread propaganda.
