Class 1 Week 4

Ok so this week our lecture was based around Timing and Spacing. These are probably some of the most important concepts I will learn all term. They said that even feature film animator's today still are learning all there is to know about timing and spacing. In the words of Grim Natwick (animator of Disney's "Snow White"),

"A-a-a-animation.....it's..a-a-all...in the timing...a-a-and in... the spacing......(long pause).....stay-y-y-n-nge...that the americans....were the ones to work this out..."

So that's it for ya. My assignment was to create two bouncing balls. One heavy and one light ball. For this, I made a bowling ball and a ping pong ball. Plus a little lever action. ;)

Here is my planning for the animation

Enjoy!
