Bouncing Ball Animation

    Howdy,

        This was the first properly difficult assignment of the course. It did not help that I decided to put in a pendulum to make my life harder unnecessarily. What was interesting was that my baseline understanding of physics was extremely useful in conceptualizing how a ball bounces in an arc. I still have to work on my volume control and in places I could slow down the motion more (especially toward the tops of arcs) to make the motion feel more natural.
That is all,

Flour Sack Gestures

Image
     Howdy,                    This was a gesture sheet creating a flour sack character for the next assignment. I tried to create a chubby little guy and I think I succeeded well enough. Although shifting into proper character animation, I can tell this is going to get much harder. Particularly trying to imagine how the character acts and squishes as a '3D' object was difficult. I am more than willing to try my best moving forward, though. That is all, Sage Boutelle

Headturn

 Howdy,                     For this animation, I decided to use the character Lake from Infinity Train  turning their head. At first I struggled with creating the head shape for the animation but following the advice to break it down into basic shapes (primarily two circles) helped tremendously. As is a consistent theme of my animations, I struggled with volume control, primarily with head width in this case. This was the first time I attempted to color in my animation and as such there are some frames which are not properly painted. However I do like how the general motion of the turn and the blink incorporated came out.  That is all, Sage Boutelle 10/19/21

Dialogue

 Howdy,         For this short dialogue animation, I attempted to use Edward from Cowboy Bebop (although I did not have enough time to add in any major distinguishing factors) syncing to audio from a Korone livestream. There are a number of problems with the animation that I did not fix (in part due to time concerns). Notably, the proportions and volume control were not as they should be (i.e. the neck is far longer than what it should be). But I do think the actual lip sync in isolation was decent.
