Bouncing Ball:



Hello there! Ghost signing in. The bouncing ball was a good practice to get used to the basics of Harmony and animation. Some things that need a little improvement is the volume control of the around the end of the video and some timing when the ball makes contact with the walls and the floor. As a first animation it was really good to experiment with the tools while keeping things simple.

Head Turn: Some more videos coming up! Full disclosure, head turns are something that I need to take more time to practice. They are fun to work around and you can get interesting shifts of expressions, or you can make them more serious.

Gesture Drawings and Pantomime: Hello for a third time! Probably, the order of the post isn't from earliest to latest so who knows? Right now we have two things in one! Mr. Flour Sack the thief.

Flour Sack was interesting to animate and a good practice to understand how a "body" sort of kinda works in movement and to express emotions with only body language. There are some body control issues when Flour Sack touches the floor, and during the walk the feet slides a little but it was a good practice before trying to do walks since it helped me understand the timing of a walk.

Dialogue: Dagger is back! and this time he can also speak! Sadly he does not live enough to enjoy it. Dialogue is extremely fun to work with! Making a character being able to speak while performing actions feels satisfying after you spend the time to make sure that the character hits every bowel or consonant just at the right moment. There are some details that would benefit the animation a lot, just like a shift in the mouth to express a slow built up of fear as the danger approaches him.
