Here I have created a short animation to show the principle of follow through and overlapping action using the examples of boxes sliding through a paper cut out animation.
What went well:
Speed of motion is successful
Sounds fit the animation
What to improve:
Physics are backward (boxes fall the wrong way)
Sledge moves around too much
How to combat this:
Plan out more or perform tests to check if things work properly
Here I have investigated the principle of staging through creating a storyboard for a nursery rhyme. The nursery rhyme I chose is 'The Crooked Man' and I created characters for the different sections of the rhyme.
What went well:
Storyboard shows clear uses of staging
Shows the narrative flow well
What could be improved:
Shading could be added to better show depth of scene
For this task we looked at the principle of anticipation which is an action that occurs before the primary action to add to the motion. I decided to create an animation using photoshop which shows a ghost sneezing.
Here I have created two short animations of a ball bounce to help me better understand the principle of squash and stretch. The first animation is of a ball bouncing straight up and down to show the basics of squash and stretch.
What went well:
Clear example of squash and stretch
Sounds matches the movement
What to improve:
Ball bounces a little slow
Doesn't bounce straight up and down, there is some side movements
How to combat this:
Plan the frames and movement more
The second animation shows a ball bouncing across the screen to practice squash and stretch with side ways movement so the ball interacts with the environment more.
