Arm Wave....Side Arm Wave to be exact

An arm wave...yes, yes it is. This was for my Principles of 3D class that I have with one of the most wonderful professors at SCAD. The point of this project was to learn the basic principles of follow through, overlapping and the use of the graph editor. I never touched the graph editor till now ......and I love it. It makes things soo much easier to animate. I'm extremely excited to take advantage of it (planning on entering the 11 second club contest this month...WOOT). :)

Attic Scene

This was just a little attic room I was working on for fun. It is just modeled out with no textures added yet. There could still be some adjustments made to the lighting, but for now it will do. I'm pretty happy with how it is coming along though.

Freedom!!

I finally have some time to play around with the tablet. Here are some quick character heads. I particularly like the green dino looking thing.

2D animation Final

This animation is of a character we had to do a shape break down for and animated it from only the hips up and it could only be 10 seconds (240 frames).I had a blast doing this project and oh boy did it take a lot of time to do. No all nighters though! Thanks to my Professor for helping me with this project.

Plus my audience definitely got a laugh out of it. The best thing you can hear when your animation is rolling.

Flag Animation

This animation is of a waving flag. Oh man this was the hardest animation I have done so far, but I mysteriously made it through.

Bowling Ball

This is my bowling ball animation.

This was my first 2D animation. It's of a tennis ball bouncing. This is something that is a must know for animation because it starts you off with some of the basis principles animation.

Bean Bag Animation for Principles for 2D Animation

In 2D animation class we had to create a 4-6second animation of a bean bag going through 3 emotions.
Here's my scenario for my bean bag:

Sooo this is a bean bag that is in kindergarten sitting peacefully among his classmates. The teacher then asks the class who would like to be the teacher's helper for the week. Immediately, the bean bag rockets his nub into the air as high as he can reach hoping to be chosen. The teacher is still scanning the classroom for her helper, so the bean bag tries to raise his nub even higher and he starts to stumble forward one step. Then all stops. The teacher has just called on another student to be the helper. The bean bag is in shock and he just freezes. Then his nub drops while everything is still stretched. Slowly he begins to drop down into a depressed slump. He then covers his "face" with his nubs in sadness.
