Computer Animation Assignment #4 : Pantomime

 Computer Animation Assignment #4: Pantomime

After the previous Gesture Drawings, I decided to have some fun with Pietro the Flour Sack

and some heavy weights! I initially had a lot of trouble with the walk up to the weight, 

it was originally staged more differently but it kept coming out too wonky I must have reworked 3-4 times

before deciding to change it (Originally Pietro was going to strut on screen, now he falls into the scene ha). The only thing I would change would be to add shading but I ran out of time. Overall I am happy 

with how this came out :D

Computer Animation Assignment #3: Gesture Drawing

This assignment is sorta special to me as I have recently gotten a new ipad that can double as a tablet (Originally bought a wacom one but it had really bad issues connecting with my computer sadly). For the gestures I decided to go with a mixture of flexing / Cocky body language and more lax and laid back postures. I definitely had a lot of fun with the little folds and creases of Pietro the flour sac, my favorite being the top middle pose (I like to think Pietro is mid-dance). I can't wait to see how I'll animate this sac of flour in the upcoming week :D

Computer Animation Assignment #2 - Pendulum

Computer Animation Assignment #2: Pendulum

So originally I had planned to animate a kitten holding onto a swinging ball of yarn, but felt like that would be a tad too ambitious for the timeframe given and went with a much smaller animal, settling with a mouse swinging on a small piece of cheese held by a human hand. I had fun animating this one, especially with increasing the width of each individual swing. It was also a lot of fun coloring this one with a simple light color palette. If there was anything I'd change it would be to make the mouse tail more detailed, but for now I'm content with the thin string tail I ended up animating.
