For this lesson we were tasked with adding parts to our squash and stretch ball in order to begin understanding secondary animation. This is animation which is happening alongside the main animation. I initially did this by simply adding eyes to my squash and stretch ball.
Reflective Statement For Major Project Overall I am really pleased with the outcome of the animation. This is mainly due to me feeling that I was able to include everything I set out to do, all the way from the beginning of Premise. It has been a very long process, with different routes taken in order to bring me to the final product. At times I felt I had set myself a far too large goal to achieve and was unsure that I was able to complete the project within the timeframe. However I kept going and I am proud to say I completed everything to the best of my ability. I believe the key to succeeding in the completion of this project was good time management. Had I not completed certain section in time for the next then I would have run out of time nearer the end of the project. At the end of the Minor project, I had completed the redesign of my animation story and characters and applied my ideas to create a Pre-viz which depicted the events of the second iteration of the anima...
This weeks animation lesson built upon the use of arc, timing and spacing, as well as adding in squashing, stretching and weight. The first task required us to demonstrate a cartoon ball, bouncing across the screen. As it was a cartoony ball, you are able to exaggerate the squashing effect when the ball comes in contact with the ground. The use of the arc made it easier to time the movements of the ball. making it seem like a more natural progression. I feel like the only thing that needs improving is the amount I squish the ball near the end of the animation. As the ball looses its speed, it will also lose its impact, making it squash less. I feel I continue to squash the ball far too much making the last arc in particular look a bit odd. For the second half of the task we had to show the falling of a ping pong ball, tennis ball and bowling ball onto a surface. By adjusting each balls timing and spacing, it allows you to give off the illusion of weight, with the heavier bal...
