Term 1: Week 3

This week my assignment set was to plan out a bouncing football animation in side view format. The animation must be a maximum of 100 frames and is an exercise to concentrate on timing and spacing. I planned out my shot as detailed in the image below. This planning out stage is so useful in creating the animation using the computer. I used a range of references to plan out the shot.

The other half of this weeks assignment was to sketch out poses which convey excitement then use a selected sketch to pose out the character 'Stu'. My poses are shown below, the chosen sketch circled red.

Below is my 'Stu' pose to show excitement. Chad was pleased with the pose saying that it had good lines of action and conveyed a clear idea. However he suggested rotating the hands outward and moving them back to show drag of the hands/arms, as in the feet.
