2d animation

ball bounce

Here is the first project for 2D Animation class, the simple ball bounce.

ball plop

This one is a twist on the ball bounce by creating it out of a different material.

pendulum

The next thing we learned was the pendulum.

head turn

We were also taught that there are infinite ways to turn a head, instead of simply rotating it.

ball bounce to a stop

It's another ball bounce, but this time it has forward momentum and bounces to a stop.

whip

The principles of a whip movement were taught and applied in this animation.

overlap

Adding to the whip lecture, overlapping movement was taught next.

apple and worm

I had spare time, so I made the overlap more interesting by changing the ball to an apple and the string to a worm.

basic walk

The final lecture was on the basic walk.

walk finesse

For the final turn-in we had to finesse one or two of our previous animations, so I chose to make the basic human shape walk into an actual character, keeping in mind overlap for clothes and hair.
