Puberty

This was a metamorphosis assignment. The time frame for this project was a week and a half and this is what I came up with. All of this was hand drawn and shot directly onto a lunch box.

and in Designing the Frame we had to take the classic 'Tell Tale Heart' and turn it into three frames using adobe illustrator and photoshop.

Anticipation is one of the major aspects of good animation. This project was a lesson based solely on that principle. This would be a good point to mention that almost all of the characters I use in these projects come out of stream of consciousness sketching which is just about how I do all of my sketches. Generally i have no idea what I'm about to draw until I start putting pencil to paper.

The Birth of Earth

Our next project was kind of a freebie. Our professor had to go on a 2 week trip so we had free rain to create a 30 sec or longer animation by the time he got back. Our only prompt was to think about 'visual rhythms'.




Also in an adjacent class called Designing the Frame we began to explore Adobe Photoshop and Iluustrator while also touching on composition theory and some aspects of preproduction. This specific project we had to create a scene that represented good vs Evil. We were also limited to a very specific color palette.
