This is probably the first bit of animation I have EVER done.. BIG DAY!
To start off with we all focused on just creating a bouncing ball animation of our own, which rather challenged by amazing brain.. After rubbing out a few attempts and thinking about gravity more than I ever have in my whole life, I started to get somewhere!
When creating this first flip book there were some important things to think about which I maybe wouldn't have thought about as much if we hadn't just learned about the 12 principles of animation. I made the mistake of not creating any arch in the ball's bounce , so it didn't look very realistic at the start. Also it was important to think about the "squash and stretch" factor. As the ball is being pulled towards the ground I made it look more elongated and once it had hit the floor I drew it to look more compact and flattened. It definitely made the whole animation look more realistic because the ball didn't look the exact same shape throughout.
Definitely want to make a second, better one after this!
Yes, I went for the typical apple!
After creating my first flip book I thought, why not add some colour? And why not make it better? So yes, my lunch break gave me some inspiration! I wanted the apple that is situated in the middle to be gradually bitten away until "POOF" its all gone. To be honest I really enjoyed doing this one because I had a much better idea of what I was going for. I think the fact that I used some different media and added some wording, it made the whole thing a bit more interesting. I still want to improve my ability of creating flip books because I reckon if I have done this just after a day then who's to say I can't get even better. Fun times!
GANGNAM STYLE FLIPBOOK (yes its real)
Okay I know we are all probably sick of hearing this song, but thats not the reason I put it on here. This Flip book version of the music video is SPOT ON (well there are many Flip Books involved but thats not the point) First of all, the use of spacing and camera angles work really well, its not all on one level all the time which makes it more interesting to watch as a piece of animation. The fact that not too much colour has been used actually draws more attention to how the people are moving and dancing around which is what makes it so amazing. Around 2:35 there is some really good attention to detail when it comes to the Follow Through and Overlapping Action where the woman's hair is obviously being blown around in the breeze, it looks really believable. I know this would have taken absolutely ages to complete but its worth it!
