I started the 2d animation course four days ago. I was really looking forward to learn these techniques. I did some 2d animation before and I know how hard it could be.
I kept telling me to make it simple and don`t do anything off the topic.
But there`s always a mean voice whispering in my mind: “Do it! Do it!”
And I always listen to that thing and bring myself into some serious trouble I can`t get away from.
And I just wrote loads of rubbish that is non-related to animation. Sorry.
We learned the 12 principles of animation by actually making easy attempts to show these elements. As always my hand-drawings are awful and after three weeks I did nothing to improve it but only moaning meaninglessly like right now.
I also did a bouncing ball animation which doesnt` really fit the idea of excercising deformation of the ball while moving in the air. The idea was to make the ball fast enough to create a almost straight arc of movement and at the last few bounces it slows down. The effect looks may be better than what I did up there.
And come back to the presentation we would do on Friday, I just finished the frames and I`m planning to line test it before the class if I`m lucky enough.
I did a little bit character design and most of its feature are ignores while the making process because they are too complex. I wish I could have a brain that automatically calculate all the phsical movements of all my objects while I was drawing. But I never passed a math test when I was in Grade 5. So no, sorry.
Will update when I get my final piece ready.
