Walk cycles

So these here are my attempts at the walk cycles that were set for Easter. I rotoscoped the walks and then used the rotoscopes as reference for the animations. This approach resulted in a bit of whacky timing. Next time I'll try the four key poses and then drawing the inbetweens. Also, I stumbled on a problem with keeping the proportions consistant, resulting in an unintended stretch and squash effect. maybe I should use reference lines next time, especially for when it comes to the head moving up and done. Still, it's only my second time animating in flash so I'm pleased at that.

This time I tried my hand at a paint animation. Conclusion: fun, but messy :P I actually really liked doing this one; there's something appealing about the idea of a painting come to life.

Sand animation

For one of the practice experimental animations I attempted to do a sand animation. I found it quite a interesting medium, although I could have done with making the animation smoother. Next time I'd like to  be able to mess around with shading a bit, by varying the levels of sand so that I can get a more subtle effect.

More stuff from last term - this is a rough storyboard of how I interpreted the sound clip. Hm, seems my fog looks more like candy floss.

Cathedral project concept art

 So for the cathedral project, we went with the fisherman in the fog sound clip. These are some concept ideas from last term after a bit of library exploration.

First Walk Cycle

Whoot, my first walk cycle from the previous term.  Had some trouble with making the character look like he was walking continuously on one spot, and the motion of his arms is a bit shaky. Still, I quite like it :)

Well, here's my final experimental piece. I used mosaic tiles as my chosen medium which is fiddly, but fun. The premise is that these are the final memories of a man who is on death-row.
