Smiley Face Bouncing Ball

This is my second animation! I used a technique we learned last week squash and stretch again, which is what I used on my last animation. This animation was more complex because it had more movement of the ball, which results in more frames. At the end we got to make it go off the screen however we wanted. Some people made it roll off. Others made it disappear, but I decided to make it fall off my name. To do that I used anticipation because right before it fell off it slowed down. I also decided to make two different colored faces because I had extra time. I hope you like it!

You make the ball elongate and get thiner to create the illusion of speed. When it hits the ground you make it squash to look like it hit something.

Bee Story Animation

Image
Project Overview For the last couple weeks in animation I have been working on a story animation. First I had to make plot line and create a character for my story. I decided to make it about a bee who runs into the window of a flower shop while trying to get to the flowers inside. Next I had to create a storyboard to show how all my shots would go together. Then I had to create sketches of my character and scan them into the computer, the image to the side is my fist sketch of my bee once I scared it into the computer. Once I had the sketches into the computer I used photoshop to make them look cleaner and to add color. Next, I create most of the elements of the backgrounds in photoshop. I made the flowers in illustrator and moved into photoshop, there is an image of the flowers to the side. Last I animated everything in After Effects using my new knowledge of arks and timing, w alk cycles, multilayer, compositions, and ease in/ease out for keyframes. Reflection  During t...
