Wilbur!

He jumps! He flies! and... he's not really done. I would have liked to perfected this some more but I will have time after the critique to tweak it up. So this is what I'm turning in for class. Revised version will come soon.

Lesson for the day

If you hold in a burp, it might come out the other way.



lesson: next time, try not to hold it in because the people around you will suffer the consequences...

hmmm...I think i'm gonna hold this one in a little longer

Wilbur: The "Flying" Gecko

This is our next project in traditional animation. We drew an animal out of a hat and we had to make a character with the animal we were given and decide a scenario for him. So mine is Wilbur and he is a gecko that thinks he can fly. The idea for this came after looking at this photo...        

 To me, this gecko looks like he thinks he can fly and so my ideas went on from there. Later on we will be animating this character to do a jump. Mine will be jumping, but in his mind he will be "flying". Its definitely going to require a lot of acting to be able to get that point across. We'll see how this turns out...

Flour sack

My flour sack animation. The flour sack had to jump and do some acting. This s pretty a mixture of everything we have learned so far: arcs, overlapping action, follow through, and line of action, and it was all taken to a higher level. The acting  and making an actual form with weight were the newer parts of this project.

 

Final Ball project

TThis is my last assignment with the ball. we had to make the ball hit an object, have the object move and the ball must continue after the contact. Mine is a classic game of pong with a little twist. If I have time this week I will go back and make my letters prettier. So here is the animation.

The Wonderful world of bouncy balls... with a cape
