Advance motion methods

Summer 2020 I signed up to take the Advance Motion Methods class with School of Motion. Such a challenging course that really got me thinking about motion and setup in a different way. Here are some of my favorite projects from the class!

Museum Milano Assignment

One of the first projects in the class where we animate one of the artworks provided to us. Goal was to cut a good audio and vo track and animate with purpose.

Frame IO

First 10 sec animated by Sander after that we were tasked with finishing out the project focusing on matchcuts.

Evaluation Animation

The first week was just a practice evaluation of our current after effect/animation skill level. 

 

 

Touch Every Frame 

Exercise where we used Adobe Animate to create a simple shape animation to work on timing and spacing. 

 

 

 

 

Value Graph

Exercise where we were to practice using the value graph to animate between 3 steps 

 

 

Speed Graph

Exercise where we used the speed graph to create smooth motion while dodging the blue planes. 

 

 

 

 

Overshoot

2 different types of overshoot for this exercise.The first was more bouncy and fun while the second was more hard with sharp movements.  

 

 

 

Bouncy Balls

Every ball has a different way of bouncing, this was a animation to show that. I practice 2 types of ball bounces and then how that ball may interact with objects in a room. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Follow Thru

Animate this nice pool noodle logo to create and work on follow thru. Used a mixuture of duik and the puppet pin tool. 

 

 

 

Pong Challenge 

Start to piece everything we have been learning together in a more complex animation. 

 

 

 

 

 

Midway Checkpoint

We were to repeat the first exercise we were given to see how we improved. Was also amazing to see how much more comfortable I was using the graph editor and different principles of animation. 

Animation Reinforcement, Circle Society

Exercise where were were given boards and a VO the task was to practice everything we learned and reinforce our movements.

A fun project where we practice eye tracing techniques. We were given boards and had to figure out how to transition the eye to different places in the frame.
