squash & STRECH (Bouncing Ball Fun)

Bounce, bounce, plunk. The bouncing ball test was pretty fun, it seems like a good way to get the ball rolling on animation. Well in any case its always a thrill to get something moving on paper.
Squash and stretch has nice results when applied the the bouncing ball. I think i may have gone to far on the stretch parts during the falling motion, what do you guys think? The material of the ball, because of the long stretches, seems softer and more pliable the a normal ball material. Almost like a ball of fluid or tire rubber. I think later on I am going to add a shadow that follows the ball along it's path and maybe play with timing to get different kind of materials associated with the ball.
Well hope everyone's animation is coming out well and i will see you in class on Monday.

Heavy Metal Lifting

Got rid of a old T.V., drew, rocked out and made a bad pun all in one day!In all seriousness this was a very entertaining assignment. I am not sure if we were supposed to try to draw from model for this exercise but i tried too and kinda like the structural model from the example. I tried filming myself doing the actions and it really helped in figuring out gesture, i just suggest deleting the films after for fear of black mail later on.

This animation by Dony Permedi is a very clever idea with great character animation which invokes emotion in the viewer.
