Congratulations! At this point you have begun developing the necessary drawing and observation skills to produce quality animated content! Up next is a short assignment we will engage in before taking our skills to the wonderful world of traditional animation! From here on out, we will animate full-body characters. To work up the necessary practice, you will create the following!
- Produce a 6-7 second animation where you recreate the action in an animated sequence of choice!
- Select an animated sequence you like that displays clear, decisive character performance. Animate this scene making note of EXTREME DRAWINGS (EXT), KEY DRAWINGS (KEY), BREAKDOWN DRAWINGS (BK), and INBETWEEN DRAWINGS (IBT)!
- Make an X Sheet for me that shows your initial estimations of your character's timing.
- Animate ONE CHARACTER only! I'd rather see quality over quantity.
- When animating the character, do not REDRAW the character itself. Produce an armature, or your own character design over this character!
- Pay attention to these concepts:
- Arcs
- Line of action
- Weight and Balance
- Keeping characters ON MODEL.
When complete, make a blog at
http://blogger.com, and an youtube channel at
http://youtube.com. We will use these as places to produce final work as well as initial concepts! Bring your finished work, along with your created websites to class!
