Friday styles on a Saturday

Update:

Here's what I've added tonight (this is what happens when I attend a university class, in the comforts of my own room: Sorry for wandering during class). My eyes hurt and my patience is worn; animation is such a drag.

Collaberate with precision...

Here's what I got so far. I made the music on Fruity Loops.
I'm using Flash to animate. If you have any ideas at to what I should add to this, let me know!

Some more...

These are the first animations I did for this project. I used Jasc Animation pro for the first, third and forth shots. For the Stick Figure animation I used a program called Pivot Stickfigure Animator (google it). The first and fifth shots were drawn in my sketchbook and I took a picture of each progressing frame. This is scene is meant to be the opening sequence for a music video. When I animated these scenes I didnt really think how the music progresses, so these scenes don't sync up with the music (yet). The lyrics these scenes co-respond with are:
"It's unacceptable,
You're sesceptible to disease.
The decimals of currency are measured and treasure... -in cheddar cheese (not shown in animation, (Yet!))."

I highly doubt that I will have a presentable music video finished by the time this project is due. I will continue creating animations after E Comp 355 is completed. If anyone is interested in animating a scene for this music video, just let me know; collaberative art is my favourite kind of art. Peace!

This was my first attempt at using Flash 8. I watched a tutorial about a method, calling "tweening". That's how I moved to ball in the first couple of seconds. For the rest of the animation I did frame-by-frame animating. I found the use of multiple layers and user friendly accessibilty very easy to work with. I can't really say I planned this animation out, I just started doodling on Flash and this is what happened. Smile!

Lego : the bricks of art

Animation is a very interesting art form. I have always been fascinated by how much energy can be achieved through the motion of pictures; and cartoons are funny and awesome. I have been experiementing with different styles of animation. I've just be been trying basic "frame-by-frame" animations. I've been using a program called "Jasc Animation Shop". One night, me and a friend decided to play with "LEGO" and a Digital Camera. This .gif animation consists of 32 shots. It took about 15 minutes to construct, 10 minutes to shoot and 5 minutes to animate. Working with Todd proved very helpful, between the two of us, we could move more objects with small incremental movements. I think LEGO is a great resource to have in a Art class room.

I would like to add: During this shoot, I had no trouble with the actors. LEGO "people" are very
co-operative.
