LAUAN403 - TASK 6 - SECONDARY ACTION

In this study task we were instructed to create an original animation which includes Secondary Action, as well as including various other principles of animation.

I began by creating model sheets that will be included in my animation.

The Animation

After my development I began the animation. I separated it into three mp4's and edited them together using Adobe Premier for the final animation.

Linework

This is the first development of my animation. This is the first three scenes of my storyboard.

Final Animation

For the final product I edited the clips into Premier and added effects, both visual and audio, to create the final product.

Critical Analysis

What Went Well

• Good use of secondary action, with the hair movements, eye movements, dripping, walk cycle of the character and sweat drops.
• Somewhat fluid animation.
• Good inclusion of most principles of animations (E.G Squash and Stretch, Anticipation, Exaggeration, Easing and Appeal and Staging).
• Very good development for the animation with character model sheets and a storyboard.

Critique

• Door animation could be a lot smoother and fluid. 
• Perspective needs improvement.
• Less jittery movements on the hair in the walking scene.
• More shading in the backgrounds.
