Incorporate vocabulary and concepts from Lecture One to show how motion physics can explain and justify the 12 principles. Ideally, your animation should demonstrate all of the animation principles in some way. and a flour sack moving in full color!Īfter you have completed your animation, write an explanation of how it demonstrates as many of the the 12 animation principles as possible. A rough pencil sketch video of a moving flour sack. Where are the key poses? How does the tweening work? What forces are at work? Are the 12 principles of animation in play? What sorts of changes in motion do you notice? Even in a relatively simple animation like this one, you can spot everything we've talked about and see the keys to creating smooth, believable motion. Analyze them, and see if you can identify concepts you've learned in the lectures. Here's a video tutorial that explains what creating an animation looks like in Plastic Animation Paper:īelow are two video examples of an animated flour sack, the first a rough pencil drawing, and the second in full color. So take advantage of it while you have the chance. At one time a professional license of the software cost 695 euros, but for some reason the makers of the software recently decided to make it free to the public. Windows users: Plastic Animation Paper ( ) is a traditional animation software for Windows that was developed by a small team in Denmark. Use whatever method you are the most comfortable with. Or if you feel confident in a 3D application and would like a challenge, feel free to use that. You can draw each individual frame using Plastic Animation Paper (free animation software), MonkeyJam, Flash, Photoshop, or traditional media. The media you use to complete this exercise is entirely up to you. Focus on the physical motion, not developing character in the flour sack.Īre evaluated for understanding of course concepts. So make the motion simple, like a jump, a step to the side, or a trip.
You will need to explain how your animation demonstrates the 12 principles, and you will need to incorporate what you learned about physics in Lecture One. Ideally, your animation should demonstrate all 12.
Use the flour sack image provided only as a guide. Important: make sure to draw your own flour sack. Using the flour sack image to the right as a guide ( click here for the full sized version), apply the pose to pose workflow method to create a three to five second pencil test animation that demonstrates as many of the 12 principles as possible. In this final exercise, you're going to practice the workflow methods and 12 animation principles we explored in the lecture, and you're going to connect these principles back to what we learned about motion in Lecture One. A sack of flour can seem pretty sad just sitting there, so let's make it move.
