Week 1 - BA1a: Dynamics - 2D Pendulum

Today we did a lesson on Frames. We learned about Extremes, Passing Positions, and In-between. Extremes are also known as Key Frames. Passing Positions are also known as Breakdown Frame.

Looking back at one of my earlier post, it mentions the 12 Principles of Animation, the Extremes, Passing Positions and In-betweens come under some of the 12 principles. We didn’t really go into much detail on this today.

Our first task today was creating an animated pendulum using our new knowledge of Extremes, Breakdown Frames and In-betweens.

My first attempt on this was much better than my pendulum animating experience from the first workshop. I think this because the new animation was more believable as I applied my new knowledge of Frames. Although the new attempt was better, I still need to make the pendulum movement more flowing.

More importantly for the first time in my life, I used a peg bar a fascinating item, and cel sheets for doing the drawings for the animation. It was very exciting using this equipment for the first time. I feel a step closer to entering the world of animation.

We had a 2nd task to do as well as the first one. The second task was to make an animation that had the pendulum stopping. We could make it stop any creative way. I still haven’t gotten to this task yet because I was making a better version of the first task. I am sure I will be able to do it tomorrow.

Everyone has been Everest had to challenges as the cat design Foshan hasn’t gone so well at first but like I found I had to keep working on everything into the other to get somewhere where I want to be so interns about the walk cycle I know what I want to go and I’ve gone from Siri I wanted him to walk but now I finally have a good result boarding and adding character and find it really interesting exploring the way I want in terms of his building his results of his personality et cetera from that even doing a card phases the cheeky colour sassy kind of character but he’s really funny but Vidicon the inside same times he has 30 aspects to him. but I found like I have all different prices and retired build and develop my character I have found that even with cartridges and you have to think of all the aspects for the character in order to design right because I’ve gone for a light weight all these parts of him even when adding colour they had a lot to catch also a lot of things and audience woman but is a character main story and that something that I want to betray in my right so that my character and he does stand out.
