SS1 More tests

More more and more tests woop woop,

SS1 micro tests

As you look at this next test you can tell its a lot better with the main character falling over after being surprised, it gives it a more dramaticness to it and gives the character more life and characteristic.
The video above is only the first test of him falling over so it will look alot better afterwards.




For this second test i original wanted to have the main character stepping backward in shock and putting his guard up, but after having ago at it I decided that is wasn't the best option. Even though it needed more frame added or changing it completely it may have looked better but I stood with my decision and changed it.



The first test i did and my character is walking, it took me a few attempts after added extra frames and tweeking I little but here is the result,

Sketchbook (RVJ) studies

Studies out of my sketchbook, these are the quality that I would like the whole of my animation to turn out like (I know it’s quite basic and there are no features show personal character designs but I’m not looking for that in this project at the moment), but with time pushing on it doesn't look like that will be the case.

Thought of You - by Ryan Woodward


A great inspiring video, this was the video that wanted me and did get in to do what I did for this project. Just a simple dance performance piece that was beautifully drawn and composed. Even though my piece has a small narrative to it i wanted it be a simple performance.

My contribute

My contribute to the collaborative project, our group had four animators all together and we each had our own section of the advert to animate, so instead of each of us having our own part or character to animate throughout the advert we split it into four parts and did it that way, so what we needed to do was to link the scenes all together to have the style of our animation the same, so we had the illustrator design the characters and we all had to copy it.
The second thing we needed to do was to have our first and last frames draw and completed so that the person before and after ourselves could link up the whole video and have it without any jumps.
