About 4 weeks ago, I may of mentioned that our next exercise would be part of the monthly competitions held over at the 11 Second Club. We were given a choice of animating to either this current month’s sound clip, or last month’s. I didn’t really care for entering the competition itself (it is optional), [...]
This is our third animation principles exercise in as many weeks, the last before our main unit task. The aim was convey two different emotions and the transition between them. Again, I decided to work in 3D, so I could play a little.
We were asked to concentrate on certain qualities for this, to give [...]
This week we were assigned another short exercise, this time to animate a character lifting up an object. Once again I decided to work in 3D, just so I have the option to play around with ease, as I mentioned in my post for last week’s exercise.
Lifting Animation
The aim was to animate a character lifting [...]
Last week’s task was to re-familiarise ourselves with the principles of animation, by creating another walk cycle. I have also been continuing with my sketchbook work for the Conversations project.
Walk Cycle
Despite slowly building disdain for 3D (creating it, not watching it), I decided to animate my walk with it. I find 3D much more flexible [...]
Character has a lot of meanings depending on the context, but in this case we are talking about character in animation principles. It’s about what builds strong character and creates something believable.
Character is all those little things we take for granted every day, it is built on the way we move, the way we interact. It [...]
We got an actual Brief for these two walk cycles. Basically we had footage recorded of us pacing up and down doing ‘a walk’. I did ‘my walk’. It is a pretty casual walk, yet quite quick partly because I have a fairly long stride.
Since this was to be a walk cycle, I had to [...]
That goes out to you triathlon obsessed types.
The walk cycle is the latest of the 3D exercises we have undertaken. Learning to walk again is actually very interesting, unless you are doing it traditionally frame by frame on paper. At that point for me it is very tedious and frustrating. I am pretty pleased with [...]
