#animation course

Hi here's an OC animation I made for my class a while ago ❤️

It's a rig animation of 1 of my OCs, her name is Stella and she's a cheerleader (she's super bubbly and sweet) I hope you like her ❤️✨️

Hey y’all, here is another test animation I did in my spare time but I experimented with a more choppy style where I animated 12 frames per second, kinda like Spider-Verse, Mutant Mayhem and The Last Wish.

Also, I was thinking of this earlier on throughout the process of “The Wishing Kingdom” rewrite, my idea is that I could animate some musical numbers and some of the scenes as well but the majority of the project will be half animated and half animatic, so yeah, pretty much those ideas won’t change anytime soon, so some advice would be really nice for both my animation and my rewrite!

"A little boy struggling to fit in with the crowd of strange creatures that inhabit the mystical jungle he calls home, meets another just like him, who encourages him to shed his disguise and have some fun. But soon he faces the choice between expressing himself authentically, or going back to a life of conforming to expectations."

AN01 - Week 1 - Introduction to Animation

Happy New Year! (Okay, maybe a little belated...)

After a couple months' break, we're good and rested and ready to move onto the main event. For the next 12 weeks, I'll be taking the AN01 - Animation Basics course for AnimationMentor's Character Animation Program. We're already finished with week one, so here's what I've accomplished so far!

The first part of the assignment for week 1 was animating 3 cars demonstrating the animation principle of Fast In, Fast Out, Ease In, Ease Out -- basically a timing exercise. Alright, simple enough.

Neat.

After that, we worked on another character posing exercise like back in Week 4 of the Maya workshop. Part of this assignment was filling a sketchbook page with many different poses to choose from. Once again, @jookpubstock comes to the rescue! (Seriously, this site is SUCH a valuable tool. Fantastic, I love it!)

So here's what I came up with for sketches--

--and here's how the 3D pose turned out!

(I love this guy. Super fun rig to pose with.)

Seems like the next few weeks are going to have a lot of these posing assignments with different expression themes, so I'm really looking forward to that! That's it for last week's work. Onto the next project! ~

The reference photograph I used for my pose is (once again) from the amazing @jookpubstock. Check out their huge gallery of reference photos here!

Animatic for my cinematography class!

In response to the COVID-19 situation Aaron Blaise is selling many of his courses and brushes sets for only 1 (one) dollar????????? You can even get his fundamentals of animation course for F R E E ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ??????????
