This semester has been much different so far.  They’re gearing us up for third year, when we’ll be making our own short films, and so this term has fewer but larger assignments including a mini film done in groups (more on that later).  The first few weeks were devoted to a single animation, for which we were given audio and had to animate to match it.

It was a lot longer than most of our other projects, but I had fun the whole way through and came out with something I’m quite proud of.  It’s without a doubt my favorite piece of animation so far.

The final animation assignment for year 2, semester 1 was this dialogue between two characters (although it was less lip-sync oriented than the previous one).  Some challenges here included finding good poses for the key drawings, the very slow follow-thru on the toilet paper, and being able to include the whole “gotta go really bad” dance at the start (which was my own addition, not part of the assignment).
