Computer Animation Assignment #Dialogue: Puppet

 

 Computer Animation Assignment #9: Dialogue

For my last assignment for this class, I decided I would animate my character to a poem. One of my favorite poets growing up was Shel Silverstein, and as it turns out he recorded himself reading some of his short poems, and so I went with the poem "Anteater." Wanting to continue on with my b ug theme, I animated a bee character of mine name Benson. I had a lot of fun having the character move around it his small space, leaning backwards and forwards. I also wanted to really exaggerate some of the lip movements to go with the volume of his voice. Overall I had a lot of fun with animating this character and I'm glad that I got to finish the semester with this assignment :D

Computer Animation Assignment #8: Puppet

 Computer Animation Assignment #8: Puppet

This one was another huge struggle for me, specifically because I wanted to do a lot with the minute movements. Overall there was around 27 layers? For eyes, eyelids, attenae were on separate layers, a couple of layers per arm and leg. Getting it all to move together was a challenge but I did it! I did another mantis design because I designed her about a week ago and fell in love with her and wanted to make her into a pupper :D
