AM Week 3

I know, I know week four is almost over. I'm a fat lazy man! Well not really, I've been busy animating my week 4 assignments and coloring my Louie comic (which is almost done). Here is my work from week three at AM.


Notice my little timing boo boo that I didn't catch until after I scanned this image in. The frame numbers go 14,30,32,41, . . . They should have been 14,30,42,51, . . . oh well.


My amazing mentor Raquel Coelho liked my stu pose. The assignement was to pose stu in an exciting pose. Raquel's only critique was that the left foot looked like it was rotated back too far.

Here is a link to my bouncing ball assignment. We were supposed to animate a simple bouncing ball with the weight of a soccer ball from the side view.
