Animation Essentials Projects

Walk Cycle

This is my walk cycle the hardest bit for this was putting the arm and leg movements. I had a habit of match up everything on the same side so the right arm with the right leg, I corrected it so it was opposite arms and legs in motion. It wasn't a major change but it helped to make the piece believable.

Reaction Piece

Here is my reaction piece to a fly buzzing around and landing. I added in the sigh at the end because it felt a bit stiff. I feel that all of this was a bit stiff to be honest, something I will be doing my best to work on.

Lip sync

With my lip sync I kept the initial head movement similar to the original, but I wanted to add something to make it seems  a bit more cartoon like so I added in a bit of extra head movement in towards the end. The head also gets smaller as if moving away, this wasn't intentional but I like the idea that it feels like a the head movement is a bit greater than it seems. The drawing itself isn't my best work though I'm still getting used to the graphics tablet, and I will continue to use it so I can improve.

Show Reel

This is the final show reel for animation essentials. I picked the least offensive music I could find, Kakariko Village, and put it all together hopefully to show what I've learned doing these projects. I'm happy with this, I enjoy simple editing and collecting everything together. It just feels nice to have everything condensed.
