This week we have been set an assignment to learn anticipation & squash + stretch. The assignment is to create an animation of 60-120 frames of a bouncing ball moving through an obstacle course. The ball must feel as though it builds it's own momentum to be able to begin moving, as though it is controlling it's own movement and is alive. The squash in the first few frames satisfies this first push off. From there on the ball moves about the obstacle course being controlled by gravity and the external forces of the course itself. I'm still waiting for my critique from Chad but my final handin and my planning are shown below. Once again any comments would be really useful...
The other half of this weeks assignment was to pose Stu to convey devastation. I sketched loads of thumbnail ideas for the pose but I found it difficult to come up with an original pose. Eventually I picked a pose to use which I felt had the most impact and the conveyed the emotion most clearly. I took the sketch and pushed it further with Stu...
I feel that the pose has some problems. I think the line of action is broken and the silhouette isn't clear the legs could be spaced further apart. This week, my work has suffered from my working in London's BlueZoo Animation Studio, although it is really exciting and I am learning loads, most days I leave the house at 7am and return at 8:30pm so I haven't devoted much time to A.M. Anyway I'll see what Chad tells me in the critique...
