Myles Boyd: FMX 238

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!

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!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Myles Boyd and I am a senior at the University of Tampa, but I am originally from Milford, CT. I am majoring in New Media with the hopes of being a film/movie producer and maybe doing some work in front of the camera myself. I have an interest in making vlogs and just documenting my everyday life, but also have an interest in creating characters and exploring my creative side. I'm hoping this class will help me enhance my drawing skills and finding new ways to be creative digitally so I can use those techniques in the real world. Stick around and enjoy the show!
