Weekly Comments

   Week four is out the door and I'm ready to march further into animation. This week was the first week of animating and I feel like I'm a step closer to my dream. I'm not sure if I'm any good yet, on account of me being immpatient; 

which is making me avoid things that I could correct. But I'm prepared for improvement. 

   Learning movement was very interesting and I hope I can nail it one day. I often forget the amount of frames needed to change speed and that less frames give a faster effect, but it does make sense. Working on the different animation assignments has been fun overall. I didn't put that much creativity into it because I was focusing on figuring it out and I think I've got the basics down now.  I especially enjoyed the ball bouncing excersises. It was very soothing for me to draw the individual frames and create the squash and stretch movements. 

I've found this link compairing two different 3D styles of animation. And though we're not on that topic yet, I think it's still an interesting article.

I also found this video on creating comic pages that could be as interesting to others as it was to me.
