Flour Sack Animation

This assignment required 2 parts. The first part was creating a flour sack character expressing 5 emotions/actions. We then took one of these actions and produced an animation in Harmony. The hardest part was volume control. Copying and pasting is not an option for this assignment since it's a character so drawing the flour sack every time and trying to make it look the exact same was complicated. I learned that as I kept drawing, I was drawing better sacks which is why the ending frame looks so much different than the first one. Below is the finished product!

Overlapping Action and Followthrough

In class we learned how to do multiple actions with a swinging pendulum. While we had the base move from left to right, the pendulum swung with it causing an overlapping action. Once the base reached the right side, because of momentum the pendulum kept going and then settled later instead of abruptly stopping. The hardest part was keeping everything in the same position while also trying to make it move, but it turned out alright in the end. Below is my finished video!
