More Animation

I give you my second post.

Right. Well first I had to animate Cubie again but he had to react to a sound and express some sort of emotion in responce. Take a gander.

Cubie's Reaction

Over all I'm rather pleased with this one as I feel that the motion is much more fluid compared to my last Cubie animation; he is not so cumbersom and his arms, not so ridgid. I was aiming to convey shock through his body language (doing those things that only an animated dude can do.)



CGI Time

Anyway next I had to animate a couple of bouncing balls. CGI this time though. One had to be charasmatic and the other, neutral.

Charasmatic Ball

As with Mr Cubie I had to portray some sort of emotion so I went for excitement and I felt the best way to express this would be to show a sudden burst of energy so I made this little guy go ping!

Neutral Ball

My honist opinion? Awful. Awfulawfulawful. It drops far too slowly then pings up into the air befor fliping over like a ninger. (hoiyyyyah!) I mean what kind of neutral, emotionless ball does that? The sence of weight has just completely disolved. I suposed the only bit that was any good was the landing at the end but even then it is a bit too abrupt. It kinda reminds me of those little poses you see those gymnasts make after a crazed flip...



Anyway untill my next post I will leave you with an old sketch of mine as my camra which I've been using to take pics of my assigned drawings seemes to have died.


Well that all folks.
