Fank, our awesome teacher, every once and a while like to set competitions for us students to challenge out creativity. one of the first challenges for this semester asked us to come up with caricatures of us experiencing first contact with a monster.. these are my ones :D

Planning and animation so far for 2EAPS

These are the two EAPS i have been working on so far.... the Little girl run and the old man bending over. this is only really the second attempt. i know i still need to get the run lighter and bouncey, and the spacing and timing of the old man bending down. but hey its a start

Planning for old man bending down

One very touching and heart renching parts of my films is the scene where the old man gives away the balloon to the little girl. here i have tried to map out the movement as he bends down to give away the balloon... this is the first section of the movement...

Sketching out the basic rough for the Little Girl run

The year is quickly coming to an end for us second years. We blinked and its week 6 already. Only about ten weeks to go!!! we have learn't how to walk... Now its time to run!!! Today in class we started to tackel the run which counts as an EAP for our MP... i've roughed out the basic of the little girl run... you will see in the future more detail and inbetweens to sort out the timing.... i hope that basic poses are easily seen in what i have done today... enjoy

My Animal Totem

We designed our animal totems as a figure to look on whilst working on our majoy projects. these animals were meant to be a reflection of our selves now as well as our hopes for the future.... I chose the Chameleon as a symbol change.... its abilitiy to adapt to its surrounding was to encourage me to adapt to the different complications that will most likely come up during production of our majoro Project. i also dressed my chameleon as princess layer as she kicks butt!!!

This is My animatic for my Major Project

This is my first animation for my Majoy Project..... i still need to clean up some pictures and perhaps kill afew babies so to speak hehehe

little girl blink - we blink to think

This morning we have an awesome class with frank on animating eye blinks. We watched Richard Willams as well and he talked about how blinking shows the character thinking. So our class task we animated a simple vanilla eye blink.
