Wave Boat Sack

Flour Sack Animation - Wave/Boat

 

 

 

Our first traditional animation of Year Two was our last one with the flour sack. This time the assignment was to create a cycle of the sack, in a boat (or on/in some other object) on waves. It was supposed to stress the interactivity of the objects: the rigid boat, the fluid water, and the sack, as well as the momentum (especially up/down) and movement of weight, especially in the sack. I think mine turned out fairly well. It was our first touch with effects work in the splashes, which was fun.

3D - Jump

Maya 3D Animation - Mushroom Jump

 

 

 

This is the first work from Year Two, and we've now been introduced to Maya. The first assignment was simply to make the mushroom jump (yes, it is the Mario 1-Up mushroom). The background wasn't a requirement but I composited them together in After Effects.

Cut-Out Animation

Digital Tools Final Animation - Sheep

 (Sound essential)
 

 

 

This was the final assignment in Year One Digital Tools (a 30+ second animation done in Flash or Harmony), and I believe the last thing I have to post from Year One in general. It's a simple gag, and no great feat of animation, but it was still fun. All done in ToonBoom Harmony. It was also nice to be able to animate it to music. A few previous animations I've done I've added in some sound effects after it was animated, but for this one the sound was the whole focus of the joke. Technically, 'Sheep' is my first short film.

 

Next week, I'll start posting work from Year Two, still in progress!

Layout

Layout - Semester 2

 

 

 

Again, more layouts, this time from the second semester. It was the same process - we were given the assignment each week to create a layout including a certain element. See my full second semester layotu portfolio after the break.
