Exploration 3 correction

Ok this is not how I wanted the piece to end up.  The drawing is taking a lot longer than I expected and I more look at the motion of the shapes spinning really fast in the drawing, it got tougher for me to do. Now I decide to add movable paper pieces to the animation. This way when the shapes in the drawing crashes together, they come back out like as through the shapes really came out of the paper that they were drawn on. Hopefully this will work.

Exploration 3 Process

For this exploration, we were asked to take a live action and use shapes, objects, whatever to abstract that motion that we took video of. My live motion is of my scooter's wheel spinning and since I loved drawing the last animation in the last exploration, I want to use it in this project. The idea is for triangles and squares smash in each other and then come to order lining up and spinning and then becoming one big wheel and spin. Here is the live action video I am using.

Exploration 2 Overview

Exploration 2 project was something that I was really looking foward to: 2D drawing animation!  This excrise went through the basics of Drawing animation and learning how time consuming it is to drawing hundreds of frames to create motion. Our subject was a simple bouncing ball using the animation techniques of slow in and slow out along with squash and stretch.

Unlike many who got annoyed with drawing, I was enjoying myself drawing the frames over the guide that I drew just for the animation that I made.  The process for this for me went by quite easy. Draw guides, trace onto frames, then shot the animation. Same process for every single one of the animations that I had to draw. First animation was a bouncing ball in front of the screen. Second one was the same bouncing ball but with the squash and stretch effect to the animation. Third one was animation of a regular ball using squash and stretch bouncing across the screen 3 times. Fourth animation was of a lighter ball bouncing across screen and the fifth one was of a heavier ball doing the same thing.

For the final, there really wasn't any improvements need since the I have gotten the squash and stretch down along with slow in and slow out.  The animation overall was a complete success! There was the etra credit animation we could have done, but I decided not to make it due to other school work that had to be done. Plus I am very proud of what I have already made. 

Here is the full animation:
