Project 2 - Walk Cycle 


Fig. 1.1 Rough sketch

Following the tutorial file that we learned, I tried to clean up the rough character a bit more like and actual human being proportions before drawing the movement for each frame. 



Fig. 1.2 Rough Walking 

I'm just drawing the positions and form of the character without the arm first while studying on how we did it during the tutorial. Once i'm sure the form is alright and the rough animation looked smooth, I moved on to doing the tie down version of the walk cycle. 




Fig. 1.3 Tie down sketch 

Following the rough sketch, I made sure the tie down is cleaner and the form is correct.

Project 2 - Jumping

Fig 2.1 rough sketch jumping 

Once again, following the rough animation we did in the tutorial class, redid them with like a cleaner rought sketch for each of the frames. 


Fig 2.2 determing the arc rough

Here I'm just positioning the form and making sure it's correct so the jumping our would making sense.

Fig 2.4 Tie down jumping
I clean up the rough sketch and change it to tie down version following the movement being drawn in the rough animation. 



Fig 2.5 Determining arc for tie down

I referring back and forth and made sure to animate her hair and clothing while she jumps in the tie down as well.

Reflection

Theres 2 part to this project which personally i think I did better on the second jumping animation part as I got a better hang on the application, tools and timeframes in animate. I do think if I had more time on this project I could have done better on the walking cycle to fix the timing and probably the movements a little to make the character's walking look more natural. I tried to make the whole thing more natural with the up and down and also adding arms to sync with the walking but somehow in the end it still looked weird so maybe i have too less in betweens (?) I'm not really sure yet, but i'll be sure to fix it if I have time later on. But in an overall aespect, this assignments is great for practicing how to animate actions and it helps us to better visualise how our character would move and how we prefer them to move in the final animation. But this practice do provides us the opportunity to improve on out timeframing and planning out for the next action which I had learnt a lot from this project. However, I do think there is much more practices needed on both of these action to make them look the most natural.

  24.9.2024 - .10.2024 / Week 1 - Week Adriena Tan Yan Zi / 0351236 / BA of Design (HONS) in Creative Media Film Studies & Cinematography Project 1 Lectures  Week 1:  Week 2:  This week, the lecturer explained to us the elements that consist in basic good story. He also brief us about the art of storytelling so we have a better idea how to map out the spine of a good story.  We tell stories that hold a special place or made us feel some type of way that we would like to share with people. So through writing and telling the story, we hope that we can get our story across to the viewers hoping they would understand what we feel while writing this story. Will take many tries until we get the storyline perfect. We were shown a video called Purl, where a ball of yarn is trying to fit into an office environment.  We were shown another video o...
