In this task we were instructed to create an animation incorporating the principles of anticipation and anticipation. For this task I decided to use eye movements and expressions in order to create a sense of anticipation.
Pre-idea Sketches
I created these sketches of eyes to give myself a reference and idea of how I could exaggerate the eye movements and create anticipation through expression.
Anticipation Animation
The anticipation lies within the sudden eye movements and the eye progressively squinting more and more. Along with the sudden jumps of text, it creates anticipation that the eye is going to blink. I also added veins on the eyes and exaggerated the dilation of the pupils as an overlapping action to emphasise that someone is trying not to blink and is scared to, which also creates a sense of anticipation in the sense of feeling.
Follow-through Animation
In the final followthrough animation I added colour and sound to further emphasise the anticipation and the exaggeration, and also added a follow-through (E.G the eyes getting progressively redder, the sound of heartbeat, etc). I also added a plasticine background to contrast the "cartoon" style of the eye and to create mix media.
Critique
- Line work has improved, but needs to be more defined and consistent.
- Good timing on the eye expressions and blink.
- Well incorporated colour palette that fits the mood.
- Some animated segments need to be more refined. (E.G, eyelids and tear duct.)
- Good inclusion of mix media (2D Digital and plasticine)
