Homework for Monday: Sept 22.

1. Complete the following research assignment:

• Find your favorite cartoon.
• Make note of the anticipation, the shifts in weight, the flexibility in the animation, and the storytelling at hand! Type this up as you work!
• In toonboom: Try to draw the main drawings of that animation!  First draw the Extremes, then the keys.  Stretch out the animation so we get a good sense of timing like we did in class!   You do not need to draw the character itself, but instead draw the motions of the character using any character you choose.
• Draw the main drawings for your research animation, as we did in class! Sketch out the main positions for your animation, and bring them to class, so we can better know how to attack our animated projects!  Try your best to keep your character consistent, and on model in your drawings!

2. Design your character for your animation! I would like to see a model sheet of the character, similar to the MouseWorks model pack on the server!
*it's located under DM200--------> Resources ----------> Mouseworksmodelpack.pdf*

6 seconds @ 24 frames a second = 120 maximum drawings
You will not need to do every drawing.  Draw enough to add fluidity to our animation!

3: Bring to class the following:

• Your animation paper!
• Your lightbox!
• Your design for your character! Your design for your character's props!
• Your animated research project!
