Clean-up animation

For two days we've had Jonas Jensenas teacher and it was quite nice. He showed us a lot of important things to do in TV-paint and how to clean up an animation! It was lovely with some relaxing study. This is my finished clean-up from the two days:

Introduction to TV-Paint

So these are my works from the first week with TV-paint! We had the awesome Rune Ryberg as teacher again and he taught us how to use TV-paint. It is a really great program and I really like to use it for animations! The first assignment was to make a bird fly! So I made a lot of bird studies to start with. I studies how the wings actually moves backwards when the wings swing down, and that it takes more frames for the wings to go down than up because of the air is heavier on the way down.

The second assignment was to make a short animation with a frog and a fly. It was really fun and we had a lot of freedom, I enjoyed it very much!

Acting Animation

So this is my work from the Acting week with Rune Ryberg! It was super inspiring to use sound with your animation. I'm not satisfied at all and I missed a day in school because of illness, but I hope that I can make it better some day.

Storyboard First Assignment

This week we had about making storyboards with the super awesome teacher Niall Laverty! It was very exciting and I enjoyed it a lot. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before and I really feel like I now enjoy making small stories in pictures. This is my first assignment. We were supposed to first make a rough storyboard. We had some stories to choose between and I chose 'snowball fight'. After some critique from some classmates we should finish our storyboard and this is what I ended up with.

Design with Lawrence

My second week with Lawrence Marvit as teacher was really cool and I learned a lot, much more than I expected. I actually drew a fully rendered picture, which is a very big step for me (which he also said to me).

The first assignment included coming up with an idea for a cool Atlantis weapon, designing it and drawing it with rendering.

In the second assignment we were given the idea Ghost Pirates in Venice, which was really cool. I loved the assignment and I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot about rendering and cast shadows and how other buildings can reflect light. Though it's far from done I really like the way it is now.

Third assignment we were given the idea Fairy City. Here we learned about patterns and textures. I actually didn't use any textures other than the vains I made on the tree. I also learned a lot about values and focus points. I'm not fully satisfied with this piece yet and I was also told to work more on it, but other than that I'm again very proud of that I made a fully rendered picture.
