References for Final Project Animation

  Motion Blurs  : The video was really handy for me when it came to doing fast motion in the story. For example when the panda shoots an energy ball at the pig, I used motion blurs at the end of the ball give the illusion of fast motion but also I animated the scene on 1's I believe since it was supposed to go so fast that the pig didn't have time to react or be on guard for it. Front view run cycle  : Originally at the start of this project, I had a lot of trouble drawing and animating a front view run cycle, it was really difficult for me to find one that I didn't have too much trouble drawing. This was the easiest run cycle for me to draw at the time and I felt like it suited well with the beginning. I tried many different speeds until I decided to just animate on 2's for the cycle. The actual run was only around six frames so I had to copy and paste the sequence to keep it going. Hand References  : These hand references were key when it came to this project...

Final Project Blog

Hey y'all it's Dwon/Dwonivan here with my final project blog. In short, it isn't finished. Y'all were right, I was in over my head and did too much, especially since I was gone for a week. I'm just gonna turn it in the way it is. So the story starts with the villain "Panda" who is running to the cave where all the pigs live.  The panda gets there, doing a action jump as they arrived. The scene changes to an adult pig inside the cave, playing with young pig, swinging it around. The adult pig recognizes the panda, asks "whats happening?" The panda's face starts to look sad, almost crying but they cover their face before we can see. In the process, they put their hand out. The adult pig, looking confused, asks what they are doing. The panda creates an energy ball, intending to kill the adult pig. The adult pig gets frightened asking "what's this about?" Only to be shot in the chest, killed instantly.   Overhearing the noise, tw...

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...
