For this Animation Strategies Module, I have to create two animation sequences. The first animation sequence I have to do is a weight-lifting sequence where I animate my character lifting a heavy object. For the second animation, I have to do a lip-sync sequence […]

31/10/2024 Morning    In week 7 of Animation Strategies, we had to do some dynamic parent and animation exercises. We also did some weightlifting exercises whilst using the Snow Rig. Here are some of the examples…   Dynamic Parent Exercise       Exercise 1 […]

24/10/2024 Morning    For week 5’s Animation Strategies, we learnt how to create a run and jump sequence. Whilst I was doing the jump and run cycle, I used Blender as I wanted to get used to using the platform. I used the Rain Rig […]

17/10/2024   In Week 4’s Animation Strategies, we learnt about run cycles and their key differences when it comes to animating, such as the speed of the cycle, airtime, and body mechanics. For our 3D task, I had to do a simple run cycle using […]

10/10/2024   This week 3 in animation strategies, we learnt about 3D and 2D walk cycles with personality. Learning about contact poses, down poses, passing poses, up poses, and in between poses. Including feet forward motion, body language, and realistic vs. cartoony.   For my […]

  Walk Cycle   For Week 2’s Walk Cycle assignment. I made a 2D walk cycle in class. I was told that my first pose should be a down pose. Not up. To do this, I must bend the legs a little to show form […]

  This year, as a second year, I was introduced to a new module called Animation Strategies. Animation Strategies is important for young animators like myself as it ‘provides a visually engaging medium that can simplify complex ideas. Whether it’s a product’s functionality or a […]

03/10/2024 For week 2, Animation Strategies, we had to create our own 3D and 2D walk cycles. Practising walk cycles is good in the long run, as they are very useful in the animation industry. That’s why we students must study the basics of walk […]
