Term 2 - Week 5

Alright, onto the new assignment! Got the blocking done.
I skipped the foot/ballrolls this time. I focused on getting the weight/balance, spacing and timing right, hopefully it worked!
You can see me jumping as well~

Term 2 - Week 4

Alright! The Ballie long jump in its polished version! I'm quite happy with the outcome actually. There's still a few things to fix, I'll see to my mentor's e-critique first.


And it's time for the next project's planning. We're switching to Stewie with no arms!




Term 2 - Week 2

We're in Term 2! I'm starting from week 2 as week 1 was just planning, which you can find below.
First, here's the blocking pass for Ballie long jump.


The planning from last week. I decided to change some parts to keep it more interesting and add variety (also to bring it up within the frame range >_> ).



Term 1 - Progress Reel ^_^v

Yaay! Animation Mentor Term 1 cleared! Time passes so quickly, unbelievable really.
So I quickly put together the assignments from Term 1. Obviously these, or at least a few of them, will be going into a proper reel towards graduation. For now, just for a quick recap:


Term 1 - Week 11

The polished version of Ballie sneaking. I couldn't watch my e-critique for this week, so I couldn't revise it unfortunately. I'll have to leave it at this~


And Stu trying to balance himself.





Term 1 - Week 10

Ballie personality walk; sneaking!


And the planning:

And the exhausted Stu! At least he has his water bottle~ Poor guy.


 I'm being lazy on the pose sketches lately, I noticed. Here's a few:


Term 1 - Week 9

Ballie's vanilla walk is polished this week. I think it's kind of hard to keep a walk cycle "vanilla", the slightest change you make can lead to a personality walk.

Stu's concern pose:

And a few other poses:


Term 1 - Week 8

This week is the blocking for vanilla walk on Ballie. Here's my blocking pass:




This week Stu has to show he's strong. Stu is definitely good at killing zombies. I have to say I had quite a bit of fun working on this one.

 

And a few poses~



Term 1 - Week 7

Yay! Finally time for Tailor! I love this guy, seriously. I think he's the most fun to animate in term 1.
Here's Tailor then!




Below is my planning for Tailor~


Term 1 - Week 5

This week's assignment consists of obstacle course for bouncing ball and devastated Stu.
So here's the obstacle course~


And my planning for the bouncing ball:



Here's the final pose for Stu, devastation. It was somewhat fun to make him look devastated >_> Stu is kind of troublesome to pose because of his huge head, sometimes you have to change the pose you initially came up with just because of his gigantic head~


Some sketches for this week's Stu.
