Animation: Flash line exercise

For this exercise we were asked to use flash to animate a line. I chose to do a happy flexible line!

Animation: Blob

The first test is the blob entering the scene and jumping over the blocks, after speaking with Meg she said to add more anticipation to the blob before it jumps and to be careful with the consistency. The second test was me testing ears on my blob which I though was pretty successful. I'm currently in the process of making changes to it.

Animation: Morphing

As promised here's the footage from last weeks class morph. 

Class Morph

Today in our animation class we again made morphs from cube like creatures into a weird creature (earlier created in our consequences game) using charcoal on a huge sheet of paper. It was a pretty fun exercise and it was interesting. 

I'll upload the video when I have it but here's a sneek peek at the monstrosity that was created. 

Animation lesson and Practice making gifs with Photoshop

Friday was had our first animation lesson. We started by making a small animation on a zoetrope in a group of three. Our zoetrope was of a ball bouncing up and down, it was fairly successful though our ball ended up bouncing on the ceiling. We then did an exercise in which we had to morph another class member into ourselves which was pretty amusing to watch. Hopefully I'll have both videos to upload soon for everyone to watch!

In the afternoon we had a lesson in which we were taught how to create a gif in photoshop, I'd created a gif before but it was useful to recap this knowledge. 

This is the basic gif I made to show my understanding.
