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. It was really hard for me to think of what type of hand movement I wanted for certain situations. Also I never draw hands so I'm terrible at it so the references guided me a little bit and made my hand drawings seem a little less terrible.

Lip sync references : In the beginning of the animation when the pig is holding the baby pig and talking to it, I did use references and used my own mouth and the way it moved to try to see which movements made which sounds but I took way too long for me so finding a references was key. The references suited my characters mouths the best and it was the easiest reference to get each sound out of the mouths, I ended up using this for the entire project.

Naruto vs Sasuke reference video : In the beginning of the battle between Naruto and Sasuke, they jump from the water, clashing their arms together. I thought that part was awesome to incorporate into my final project because when you see it, you know a huge and epic battle is about to begin and I've always clashes happening that signify that a battle is about to start. I am going to use it in the beginning of the battle between the pig (with the energy blade) and the panda.

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...
