Character Animation
The aim of this unit is to create a eleven second animation. On the left I practiced some poses expressing different emotions like anger, joy and despair. We learned how our poses and animations need to have a strong line of action, while not forgetting the body continuing movement, even when standing still.Next I've practiced some basic animations, such as head turns, weight shifts and weight lifts. I also researched how others animators did their work to help me trough out this project.
I really like my final animation, I like how snappy the animations are and how the character interacts with the environment. I think I have strong poses abilities, but I'm lacking in the facial expressions part, a thing which you can notice in the animation. This project has been fun to do and it made me want to do more animations in the future.
During this short experimentations, I've learned the importance of anticipation and eyes in the animation, two easy to achieve things, that give the animation a big improvement and makes it more believable.
