Weeks worth of animation class

This week in animation class, we learned the 12 different principles of animation and how and when to use them properly. For example i learned the squash and stretch can be used to simulate speed as far as speeding up starting to speed up. I personality never noticed how when walking we are rising up and down. What would be interesting to see in the future would to see how lip syncing works and what mouth movements to use for certain vowels or words. This week during working on the color theory project, either my computer wouldn't allow me to do certain things so it took a while to do it, but also I'm not good with computers at all, so thats probably the reason why. An exciting thing that happened this week was that we watched Wall-e in class to take notes on the principles of animation used in the movie, its an amazing movie and i would highly recommend it. Heres a link to the  youtube animator Gingerpale's video on "How To Youtube" you should check it out:

    I'm sure your computer skills will improve this year! Keep your chin up! Speed comes with practice. Lots and lots of tedious practice...

I just want to thank everyone and I will talk about everyone individually.

Weekly stuff yahoooo

Hey y'all its Dwon/Dwonivan and I'm back from the dominican republic, it was a good time but also not great. Because of the trip, I've fallen super behind on the project like I'm still animating it sadly, which also means I'm definitely gonna have to pull an all nighter or two to finish it but it'll be worth it in the end.  I'm still kinda "scared" I guess about t doing the final project blog because with this project I barely used any references, well maybe enough? We shall see, but yeah don't be surprised if on Monday I'm still not done with the rough animation because it'll be a lot to do but I got this *dabs. I don't really have a choice anyway lol, it's either hand it in incomplete and get a failing grade or pull like two all nighters (not back to back ofc) and be able to finish it. I'd definitely choose the latter. The coloring shouldn't be too bad because my colors are probably gonna be mainly flat colors and stuf...

Timing

 Timing is essential when it comes to animation but also it helps you improve as an artist/animator as well. Animation veteran has sat down and taught us why timing is important and how it can also be fun to do also.     Timing involves how fast something moves and how long it stays still. Slowing an object represents weight, gravity, mass and speeding up an object adds speed, energy, and lightness. When working on timing, it is a good idea to work on the poses that you want in an animation, and number the poses as to where it breaks down, this allows you to know ahead of time if the rhythm is right and if the poses work out together or not.          Your key poses help set up how the rest of the poses will turn out, they aren't shown for that long, only for a quarter to half of a second but you can stretch out the time a little bit so your audience is able to see them. The amount of time a pose is shown can be different from any character depe...
