Design with Lawrence

So these are my work from the first week with Lawrence Marvit. It was totally awesome and he's a cool teacher!

The first assignement we got was to place 3 rectangels and 1 line in a A4 paper without making them even. I got many mistakes, but I think I learned a lot from it!

The next assignment was about tasting 70%-85% dark chocolate and then draw with one line what you feel. It was really difficult, but at the same time fun.

The third assignment was to listen to a jazz album by Miles Davis - Kind of Blue and see what feelings I could get from it and then get it down on paper. I wanted it to feel a bit floaty and still very jazz like.

The last assignment for this week was to read an act from Hamlet and act it out on paper very simple with the dead king as a focal point and only black & white and greys. This assignment was really hard for me because I'm not used to draw environments.

Flour Sack

The last assignment we had with Laura & Jody was to animate a flour sack running from a monster and jumping over a small canyon. For this I made a video reference of myself doing the exact same thing as the flour sack were supposed to do. We had a storyboard to follow this time and we should also keep on 552 frames in two's.

Hitting a table

This assignment was to get an arm with a hand to hit a table and show the proper use of slow in & slow out, the sea weed effect and arcs. I used video reference for this one to see how the arcs was, it was very helpful. (We weren't allowed to draw a head)

Head Turn

This is my final head turn which I made in Laura and Jody's class. It was fun and I learned a lot, but I wish we've had another character because this one was really difficult to make a head turn of. I learned about slow in and slow out and how you blink everytime you make a head turn.

First 2 weeks on TAW

So here's the assignments I've done with our awesome teachers Laura and Jody the first two weeks on The Animation Workshop. It was really cool! I learned a lot and had a lot of fun with it.
Attitude Ball: We had to make a ball with an attitude. I got the angry attitude, so I had to make an angry ball. I hope it's clear that it is angry!

Sea Weed 2: I made a second sea weed to get the feeling of follow-through.

Sea Weed 1: We got an assignment to make a waving sea weed to learn the follow-through method in animation. This is the first one I did.

Heavy Ball: Here I used a bowling ball for reference when it gets dropped on the ground.

Light Ball: Here we had to use some light balls for references in real life to see how a light ball moves. It appears to be much more light and floating than the heavy ball.

Bouncing Ball: This was a really funny assignment! I learned about squash and stretch and also more slow in and slow out.

Swinging Pendulum that comes to a stop: Our first real animation assignment! It was really difficult for me to get this right and it's still not good, so I might practise on this much more. This was mostly about slow in and slow out.
