Week 9 Non Dialogue, made in TV-Paint

We were supposed to animate one out of many characters, I chose Sheep dog Sam. The idéa was to make him find some money, wanting to take them, but then change his minde and leave. This was a fun exercise. A bit tough, took all weekend, but I still had some fun doing it.





I didn't get his walk right, he was supposed to walk with his legs close together. But in my animation I didn't think of that from the start, the way he walks is off character. And the legs works against the upper body in terms of bouncing.

But what suprised me in a good way were how nice the mustache settles.

Week 8 TV-Paint Intro

It's hard to deal with new programs and new tools. But at least I got some animation out of this first computer week. The wow factor hopfully will increase with time.

The first test was a Scooby head turn.

And now let me present "The Hogarth Take". The point was to animate Hogarth (from the film The Iron Giant) who gets suprised or something else that makes him jump. Unfortunately I didn't reach more than basic construction.

This last animation was a litle test, a Mr. Bouncing Bean!

week 5 Midway test

Pink Panther findes himself in a looked room, he gets angry and tries to open the door but doesn't succeed. The time limit were 120 frames (five seconds).

week 3 In betweening

This week were a bit harder then the last week. We learned to draw in betweens for another animator. In this case we got keys and breakdowns from a scene in balto with Boris the goose. A small step for Boris but a giant leap for me.


Here are a couple of my poses for Boris.

week2 Clean Up

Here is a cleand up scene from An American Tail 2 with the character Cat R. Waul. It´s just a second or so but it took us a four days to almost finish it. Clean up takes time to learn.

2010 week1 Characther Design

This week we designed advertisement charcters. The character is named Auntie Biotic and should explain why not to over use antibiotics. I made two different designs of her.

In the second design she has a space siut look, that is also an antibiotic cap.

Then we designed some characters from Roald Dahls story Taste.

Week 49 Drunken Walk

Goofy again, this time in another condition. A better condition. He is missing eyes and stuff this time as well, but he has a hat!
