Flour Sack
This week I animated a flour sack jumping into the air and landing, I tried to animate using the pose to pose method. This task was fun to do and really helped me to understand the pose to pose method of animating.
Here is the animation
I think the animation turned out really well as the motion looks smooth and the face squashes and stretches nicely. To improve this animation I think when he is about to jump it should be held for a couple more frames as he launches himself into the air very quickly.
Animation Storyboards
After this I started to work on storyboarding for the Design a world project. I storyboarded a scene where Frappuccino walks down a stage and sings into the microphone, she then swipes the microphone across the screen and it transitions into the next person’s animation.
I like this idea and I don’t think it will be too hard to animate as the character is a nice simple design. The hardest thing to animate in this sequence will be her walking as I struggle with walk cycles.
