Wave Boat Sack Cycle

Animation, Art 1 Comment

The first animation assignment of the year really stressed animating on different levels.  By that I mean, simply animating every object on a different sheet of paper and combining them when shooting the animation.  Does that make sense?  Hmm…

We had to animate the flour sack in a boat (or anything, I chose a bowl), and show the sack being forcefully tossed into the air by the water.  When he falls back into the bowl, we had to animate a large splash.

I animated each object at a separate time, so after three weeks it’s all come together.  The splash at the end is barely visible, thanks to the bad compression.  Wish I could upload the Flipbook file instead.

I probably would have made the bowl and flour sack bigger.  After four long months of sans animating, it was nice to jump right into an assignment.  A little rusty though ;D  Enjoy.
