Finished my first traditional animation
There are some mistakes here and there such as the bicep/shoulder on Sam’s right arm suddenly snapping so I blame that on moving back and fourth between frames and not paying much attention
This took long but it was a lot of fun and I love how it turned out so will do another 😀
Month: January 2020
Keshaun Walk Cycle (Rough)
Slightly off perspective grid, but cycle complete, need to work on the next character tomorrow
Sevastian + James expressions
Some drawings I did of my characters Sevastian and James. Tried to push their expressions as much as possible.
I was planning on doing this with more characters, but considering the fact that I don’t have access to TVPaint at home I figured it would be best to do this in my own time so I can focus on animating in Uni.
Ideas, Plans, Rough Boards
Here are some rough storyboards for the longer sequences I’ve planned to make animatics of
Since Bianca’s storyboarding session I started adding in perspective grids to the pieces which have helped to make them much more readable and get an idea of the angle of the scene that the characters are in.
I listed all of my animation ideas and sorted them by personal projects and ones I want to focus on for my showreel and put those in the gantt chart. Everything I listed as Personal is work I’ll rough out at home most likely and then clean if I have time at the end of the project.
Ideas – Background Concepts 1
Practice background ideas for two different animatics I’m planning based on the thumbnails I posted a while back
(Totally didn’t forget to post these before Winter)
1st Traditional Rough
Wanted to animate my character Samuel clapping, I don’t know how to use Dragon Frame so I put the roughs together in Photoshop
Gonna clean tomorrow, probably needs an extra frame during the clap? Looks a bit stiff
Stand Design
I recently made a Stand and am experimenting with the design
Rough Animator ideas
Sold my pc tablet recently and only have my iPad to animate, so I’m getting some roughs down ready to clean at uni when I go back
Really want to try focusing on dialogue/expressive stuff, since full body action shots will take some practice.
