12 Frames of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 7: The Final Season, February 21st - May 4th, 2020.

by Johnny Martyr Normally I don’t care how rare a camera is because I’m a photographer, not a collector. But when a camera is rare because it has a unique and useful feature, yeah, I’m all about it. And such is the case with the fourth Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta B 532/16 6×6 rangefinder that I’ve purchased since 2024. Colloquially known as “the Super B,” this 1930’s folding rangefinder was…

ASSESSMENT 2 - 12 FRAMES - PART 2

As the flour sack lies there on the ground, I created a puff of flour above it as if it were sighing (FRAME 7). It gets up off the ground and begins to run again (FRAME 8 - 10) until the rock it tripped over moves out of frame (FRAME 11). A trail of flour follows behind it until the flour sack runs out of frame too (FRAME 12). 

ASSESSMENT 2 - 12 FRAMES - PART 1

I wanted to tell a story than have a flour bag running. I began the animation with it in a start up position as if it were about to run a race (FRAME 1). By using the animation principle of anticipation, I kept it there for a while before it leapt forward and began to run. If I did this again I think I could have made it sit there longer and squeeze it up more to make it more cartoon-ish. Getting the flour sack from the start up to running position was very difficult and I found that it look awkward (FRAME 2). When it leapt in the air, I wanted to be able to show the weight of it’s stomach (FRAME 3) but I don’t think I achieved this as well as I could have as it’s not easy to see within the animation and it doesn’t happen so heavily after that. A rock appears along the road, it trips and falls over (FRAMES 4 - 6). Originally I didn’t have flour coming out of it but as you get to the end of the animation the flour sack is a lot smaller than what it started with. My way of finding a solution was to have it tear the fabric when it falls, making flour pour out of it’s leg.
