Ben Riley: Week #4 Drawing

1. Assignment: Draw Heads

2. Drawing Time: 30 min.

3. Wow, most of these don’t match very well at all. As I drew them, I felt like I had an intuitive feel for the way the face is being pushed or pulled, but for most of the heads, I didn’t match the curve of the jowl line in the original drawings very well, which threw off most of the rest of the drawing. I also had some problems with facial features like eyes or ears being proportioned incorrectly, but most of the mistakes emanate from that crucial jowl line.

Week #4 Animation Tian

Assignment: pendulum moving
Time: Approx. 40 mins to story board, 1.5 hrs to draw pictures , 4 hrs to do post production.
Problems encountered: Hard to control the correct spacing and timing as the ball may move too fast.
Ah ha moment: I really like the spring
If I animated this again I would: Get slow down and calculate the timing and spacing again.

Story board:

Week 4 Animation: Pendulum

1. Assignment: Moving Pendulum

2. Time to Animate: Somehow, four hours, but I didn’t notice as I was in an animation fuge state.

3. Challenges Encountered: Having the crossbar squash when it stopped was harder to animate than I thought, since squashing a rectangle is harder than squashing a ball. It still looks kind of strange, not quite getting the elastic

4. Ah Ha Moment: “What if the pendulum… exploded????”

5. If I could animate it again: In retrospect, the pendulum ball, although it was a rigid metal bomb without much give to it, should have bounced a tiny bit when it hit the ground. I was too busy keeping track of the fuse to realize that, though.

I draw story board to help me to think about the animation.

Assignment – animate a pendulum moving through space to highlight overlap and follow through
Time to Animate – Approx 1.5 hrs to draw and thinking , 30min to make animation
Problems encountered – It’s tough to think about the shape of balls.
Ah ha moment – I design a stop pose.
If I animated this again I would – I’d love to making to poses of balls look better.

Here is animation.
