Class 1 - Q&A number 03

Ok Ok Ok i know i have been lazy posting this one so i apologize......Last week was crazy with two assignments and a few private functions to attend too....my new workflow and commitment were put to the test, and i am happy to say it all worked out well in the end.

Ok onto week 3 Q&A, this week we had the chance to fire some animation questions at our mentor regarding our assignment. It was really cool listening to the different methods students use when going about their assignments, we all learnt a lot and it shows in the quality of each assignment handed up by my class mates. Shaun explained the importance of Timing and Spacing for this assignement, in order for the animation to work it had to be spot on.

We also spok about some industry standards regarding the amount of animation required per week at some studios....6 seconds a week...I WISH, can you guys imagine that rocking up to work on a maonday and know all you have to do is animate 6 seconds of footage a week...CRAZY. We also spoke abut the differances between T.V and Film animation workflows..obviousley in T.V you are going to have to animate more per week, but T.V animation is probably one of the best ways to develop your workflow as well as learn a lot along the way as it is such a fast turn over of weekly aniamtion.

Anyway time for me to get out of here and commence my sketches for Assignment 04, this week we have to animate a light and heavy ball bouncing and coming to a stop in the shot, i had referance footage for this from my time in NZ....but guess what i deleated it...nnnnnnoooooooo, oh well time to get out and get some more referance.
