ACM 316: First part-ish of final animation

Yup, this is just the way beginning of my animation. *twitch* =_- This was all I had time to do. So much more to go.. I need to put longer pauses from the jumping of the girl and the transition to the full view of both the dog and girl.

ACM 316: Final Animatic

So, this is my new story idea. It's totally not based on my experience of when I was a kid and how I didn't used to ride on my Doberman and make him jump over random obstacles, LOL. However, I actually didn't have any flaming hoops or crazy death traps available back then.
The run/walk cycles are crazily choppy, since they're just like the real basic keys of the keyframes. If that's possible. When he's jumping over the two obstacles in the beginning, I'll have them come in from the left and exit through the right as he's running/jumping.
Woo, priorities.
Time to sleep.

ACM 316: Final Character Turnarounds and Expressions

Yeahh, I think I was able to enjoy doing the turnaround and expressions, since I know there's nothing due for Kaveh tomorrow, so I didn't have that eating at my conscience for now. I also added in a size comparison picture of the girl and dog.
I'll post the layout animatic thing wayyy later.

ACM 316/318 Final Idea stuff and Zoo pix

So, my idea for my final animation will kind of be a montage of events that follows a girl and her cat's life. It's just a plain story with a happy ending.
It begins when she first has her new kitten in her hands, then it starts the series of events that occur as they get older. It shows both the good and bad times they share together. It ends in the present, with the girl writing on her bed, and then her cat walks in and lays on her lap looking at what she's doing. Then, it cuts to the papers she's writing on.
I wanted to try something different, there's no action or anything epic that happens, it'll be a calm sentimental-like animation.
Hopefully, I can come up with better character designs.
But, I'm still thinking of ideas for other possible stories.




Zoo pix --------
It is pretty hard just trying to draw the animals when they're moving so much. It gets confusing when/where to start the next line on the paper. I tried to do some series of things they did.
