So week 5 wow this week was both tough and amazing. The topic for this week was "Anticipation and Squash & Stretch" i really enjoyed learning about all the different methods of how and where to use this principle. In every day life we anticiapte before we move, which you do not realize until you actually sit back and watch either a video, commercial or better still just by observing people around you.Let me just say if it was not for the constant feedback from my Peers this week i feel i would have struggled, so a big thanks t o you guys and gals.
This week we had to animate a ball going through an obstacle course and also pose our character depicting DEVASTATION. One big lesson i learnt from a good friend of mine this week was learn the basic first before jumping into the deep end, i originally was not going to animate the obstacle course above i was going for a more complex course but after a few trials and errors and having that young animator eagerness in my brain "I want to do it all now" i realized after cosulting with a peer that i want to learn the basic first, understand them become familiar and comfortable with them.....so the answer was simple Keep It Simple and in due time once you understand the principle push yourself further.
Also this week had a Q & A with the great Shaw Kelly, this guy is so awesome he is a real inspiration to all at AM infact i think to all in the industry. Shawn is a true example of working hard, making the sacrifices and going for what you want in the industry....a really top animator and great guy.....YOU ROCK SHAWN KELLY.
Rock On
