Character Project
Ball animation: My ball animation was a very good start to the project, it allowed me to be very free within this first week of the project, really letting me abuse animation techniques and compositions with something simple and easy to animate. From this project I could really understand the satisfaction to watch of some of the animation fundamentals, like squash and stretch, building up energy, anticipation, and really playing with speed and motion. Element project: the element project really let me apply those techniques in a free scenario of my choosing but in a more complex manner, with an actual character and an environment. I really used this part of the project to allow my self experiment with giving a character emotion and feeling, I also played around with movement a lot with the character, making it so the character would be in one spot through out the animation whilst the environment would play around the character, really letting my self test my characters motion in correlation to the background. This would answer my question on the potential of motion of the animation. I liked the end result but I feel as if I have over done some of the transitions in poses and movement at some points. Colour project: I liked how it turned out for the most part, animation wise I am quite happy. That being said I am not impressed with my acting within the story for I feel I have lost a bit of its clarity and that could have been fixed with one scene or more exaggeration.
