Hi guys!

I'm done with my Class 1, I'm pretty sad that it is over but I'm so excited to begin my Class 2 in january :)

So here is my pregress reel for this term and the pirate walk I've made for my last assignement.

We had to make 3 more poses with Stu with the feelings: Concerned, exhausted and balance.

Hi There!
Here is my post for my assignment of week 8&9, this was about our first vanilla walk cycle. First we have to make a blocking pass and week after we have to polish this walk. I was a bit anxious before I tried but it was cool to do, now I feel a bit more confortable with is the goal of this program I think :)
Stu poses were fun to do also, subjects were "Physical Strength" and "Concerned"

Class 1 Week 7

Hi happy people!
Here is my assignment for last week. We had to animate a character called Tailor, a squirrel hehe. It's all about overlapping which is pretty much complicated I have to admit. I learned a lot this week!!

Class 1 Week 6

Hi there!
Week 6, we are at the end of the first half of Class 1!!
This week assignment is about overlapping, once again one of the principles of animation. It was cool to make this animation because now I begin to use interaction with other animated props!
Poor Stu he was absent this week and I think he will not be back next week ;)

This week assignment is the beginning of the Squash & Stretch learning. One of the 12 principles of animation. It's becoming more more dificult every week but it's definitely fun to do!!!

For this week we had to show the difference between a heavy ball and a light ball. Playing with timing and spacing to show this contrast.

Class 1 Week 3

Hi!

This week assignment was about making a ball bounces on a ground. It looks very easy to do before you start but in fact it is not :)

I also have to do my week pose with Stu, the subject was "Excitement" so that is what I've done.

First walk cycle

After reading books and watch different things on the internet, I've decided to make my first walk cycle. I've tried to make it different than traditional ones because for me it looked more easier, I don't know if it's normal :) I'm just a beginner.
