Traditional animation was my favourite rotation as I get to work with paper and pencil just like my animator hero James Baxter.
I was given 3 mini briefs :
1. Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose
(with pdf brief attached)
I picked the ease in and out and then I began sketching the idea of Abby in a debate who is in a debate becoming sleepy then is woken up which surprises her and then makes her feel annoyed.
Workshop briefs:
1) – Debating Character
In order to familiarise yourself with the animation chart and how to ease out and into a
keyframe, use the following animation chart to work out your in-betweens for a pose to pose
animation. Design a simple character with three separate hand gestures which will be your
keyframes 1-30, 42-71 and 83-112. The keyframes cover 30 frames because they will be
shot under the line tester 30 times so the character pauses at the end of each pose.
From my feedback, I was told that io went over the brief and thought it was good if it was in the industry it could cause problems which I do understand but as I was unaware that the brief told a different story to what I thought was written and I do take responsibility for that.
