LAUAN403 TASK 3 - TIMING

For this task we were instructed to create a blinking animation and an animation sequence of our previously created character. 

The first part of the task involved drawing different frames of our characters eyes blinking. I created a nontraditional blink by making his eyes roll to the back of his head instead of traditionally blinking, because he's a skeleton.

Critical Analysis 

What went well

• Animation looks somewhat fluid
• Quick.
• Looks like a "blink".
• Consistent drawing quality.

Critique

• Needs better colouring quality.
• More in-between frames needed to make it smoother.

The second part of the task involved creating an animation sequence based on 2 scenes from our storyboard to test timing. We took 12 pictures of each frame using a line tester and then began to edit it by cutting down the amount of frames to create good timing for our animation.

• Decently timed animation.
• Decently drawn figure
• Good environmental effects (wall distortion)

Critique

• More movement on hips during kick
• More in-between frames
• Better accuracy on body proportions and anatomy
