This is my student film, Bleuet Fraise (it means Blueberry Strawberry in french)! I created this as a final project in my animation course at Cegep du Vieux-Montreal. It took a little over a year to make, including all the pre-production stuff like designing the characters, painting backgrounds, planning the shots and everything. The animation itself took about 4-5 months of full-time work. I know it’s a little short compared to all of those amazing student shorts you can find online, but please give it a chance…. I had to make everything myself! It was a huge challenge and I’m really proud of having completed it! I really hope you like it!!

1. Ah Fai was a chief animator for McDull’s animated features. He’s super cool. Ultimate senpai.

Some thoughts on acceleration and force

I presented this in the order of how I slowly understood the trick of delivering force - first an abstract concept of impact taught by Ah Fai, then a more complicated discovery on the acceleration pattern, last back to a more abstract concept of breakdowns. 

Like I’ve previously stressed, 2D animation is everything but one single approach. There’s no one rule that rules them all, but interchangeable ideas with math, or physics, or music, etc. There’s no “perfect” animation either, but what is perceived as organic and dynamic. E.g., using the Fibonacci numbers to animate didn’t bring me a perfect animation! On the other hand, a tiny change in the pattern could already make the feeling of force so much more powerful.
