animation progression 1

I have started to animate my idea with an existing character rig i found on the 11 second club website, i have been following my storyboard but have decided to change the end of it. Instead of the man just putting the box on his back, he will now walk forward and place the box on top of another, then he will continue to build boxes up in a flash of scenes, and eventually he would have built a little box fort.

here you can see the new storyboard and progress screenshots:

in the images above you can see the animation starting to come to life, here you can see the new storyboard taking effect, here are some screenshots.

after reviewing what i currently have a few times, i have seen a few errors, like clipping, out of pace animation sections etc. once i have finished the whole base animation, i will go back on the whole thing and correct any mistakes.

Final major project

We are at the point of the year where we are on our last project, for this project we are able to do what ever we like as long as we follow units 6 and 4.

For this project the freedom didn't really suit me well, i do not handle designing my own ideas very well and had a hard time deciding what i was going to do for this project. i did a few idea tests with modelling and came to the conclusion that i did not want to do that.

i sketched design images for a tutor like building and planned on making that, but i much prefer creating character art and so had no motivation for the building. i then decided i would instead of wracking my brain to design something i would model the head of my friend anna, the model progress went well but again i didnt find it pleasing.

i have finally decided to do an animation, a soundless animation showing i can understand the weight of objects and animate them accordingly.

i thought of a few ideas of how i could do this then came up with a simple idea of a man trying to pick up a heavy box, trying many ways to lift it, eventually getting it onto his back and leaning forward to walk but the box slips and falls, he falls with it.

this will show the weight of the box, the strain on muscles of the man and the weights of the man when effected by the box.

i have created a story board to detail my idea in image, i collected reference images of my friend anna acting out the scene i had in mind before i dre it. here you can see it:
