First Part

Here is an animatic for my first scene deadline. I should have the finalized version by the end of the week.

Something...

The good news is that I've got a sound designer that will work on my project. :D I'm pretty excited about it because now I can just focus on the animation. Not only that, I'm sure he will do a much better job than I would have trying to work with sound. Hahaha~

In other news, Here is my layout for the entire animation.


OK, OK, it's the same as my lip sync exercise buuuut... That's exactly it! I've already separated his head in flash so after that I will separate the arms and probably the index finger so he can click his mouse. The setting will be like this the entire time, he will just kind of move around from this initial position. It works because most people who are so immersed in their computers are usually pretty stationary and ignorant of their surroundings anyway.

BLARRGGHHH!!!!

I'm running behind schedule a little... Midterms has definitely kicked my booTAY! I've got my character down and some of his head replacement, but I still need to get out the animatic.

Lip Sync Exercise

Here is a LipSync exercise. The audio is taken from American Psycho. GO TEAM BALE! The character is the one I will be using for my final animation. :D

Some more execises

Here is the second rotoscope exercise. I had my friend walk all goofy since the Muybridge walk is rather plain.




And then here is my walk cycle. A very skimpy model showing off the latest in men's heels! Wait... what?

Lame thumbs

HERE THEY ARE! They are super simple, but it gets the idea across.



Here are also some sketches of my character. He's super simple. :)

Rotoscope

Here is a rotoscope exercise

JUMP!

I keep forgetting to update my tutorials! WARGH! But anyhow, here are my jumping ones...



This one has the puppet made by the Professor





This one contains the puppett made by moi

Bouncing Ball Tutorial

This is the first bouncing ball tutorial. I've used flash before but It has been a really long time. I think these foundation exercises are very helpful.




This one is the second exercise where I use the custom ease-in/ease-out. Again, these exercises are very helpful. I've never actually bothered with such tools when I experimented with flash ages ago (yikes, amateur!).
