Project 2: Sound Clip

Back In Style

Our second assignment, probably the most freedom

I've been giving on an animation project. Our

goal was to pick a sound clip from a group given

to us, and then decide what might be going on in this

scene and create our animation from there. The

biggest rule was to not pick a sound clip if you

knew what movie it was from, which made sense;

it was to keep our animation from being influenced

by the original scene. 

I pictured my scene happening in a really ritzy mansion,

but considering we need to keep our props to a minimum,

I just gave him a glass of wine, and then made the picture

frame on the wall to show a sense of taste in the character. 

I struggled a little with figuring out how to make his

attitude and sass really show through in this scene. 

But over all this project was more fun to animate because

it focused on getting the facial expressions to match the

timing of the sound while making sure that these could be clearly seen

even with the movement of the body.

Pre Pro

Exploratory

This one was harder for me to decide what so of angle I

could use to tell this story. But I certainly had more

possibilities in my exploratory poses, the ways I 

could do it; sitting, bending down, belittling using

height. 

Storyboard

Took a bit to narrow down what I really

wanted to do for this, and in the end the animation

differs from this, as I ended up using more 

poses that I had not previously thought

of.

Breakdowns

Understanding anticipation a little more

this time around, I think I was able to

do this better. Thinking on things like pushing

a pose to far just to settle back into the

pose I really want, just to add a little more life

to the character.
