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!

Time and Spacing

For this assignment we learned about time and spacing. Some of the techniques we used were linear, slow in, slow out, slow in/out, overshoot/settle, and vibration. Using Harmony, we created "balls" that would move across the timeline and perform a specific technique. Some of them required shorter frames in the beginning and longer ones at the end, but others required the opposite or maybe both. Below are 2 videos of me using the different techniques in Harmony!

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!

Bouncing Ball

Using what I learned during the timing and spacing assignment, I was tasked with creating a bouncing ball that would react with 3 different obstacles. I had to show the ball squishing and bouncing back up after it hit a wall and it losing momentum towards the end. This assignment required the timing to be perfect and the right amount of spacing for the frames so the ball wasn't stagnant in energy for the the duration of the assignment. Below is the final video of my bouncing ball!
