Ok so its week five, and things are really starting to pick up, it seems this week everyone had a little more to do then usual, as we had to pose a character with "Devastation", and at the same time animate a bouncing ball through an obstacle course, with squash and stretch which was the topic of this week :).
I found how much squash and stretch can add to an animation, its such a cartoony and small thing, but gives the ball so much life! Its awesome! But in saying that, even though you are not trying to make the ball feel alive, a little squash and stretch here and there goes a long way it seems.
Our mentor this week was really hitting us hard on the idea of planning everything, I understand why he emphasised on it, because I actually accidentally not realising the "actual" frame limit, I ended up doing more frames then what was required. So I had to cut some things out, and boy! It took me longer to cut things out, and polish it, then planning the whole thing before hand and animating combined!
So moral of the story in this week is, always double check your frame limit when planning! And planning saves time! A lot of time! :)
Again, thank you for taking the time in reading my blog, and here are the stuff I did this week.
Cheers,
Meng
