My Youtubed Final

Blogger took forever to upload my final animation. So I decided to do the youtube thing. Here's the url http://www.youtube.com/birdsAnimation

Tutorial Rotoscope

This is the rotoscoped tutorial that I animated for my flash class.

My walk Cycle

This is my walk cycle for my flash tutorial

Puppet Tutorial

The puppet tutorial using flash

Character Designs

These were my original facial character designs for mother nature.

StoryBoards

My storyboards for my mother nature animation.

Model Sheet

My nymph character model sheet.

The rotoscoping without the reference.

This is my rotoscoping for the tutorial in flash with the reference.

Backgrounds

The background to my Mother Nature animation. I had to use so many layers and two references. Yet, it was a lot of fun.

Still have to fix my camera and a couple components on my background.

Water Nymph Test 3

With this test, I chose to change the speed rate on my background. I also added color to my character.

Yea, this is the very first screen test for the early stages to my animation. I wanted to finalize my background and put it in some sort of camera sequence. My character is roughly animated in this test also.

Flow Test 1

This is the first test to my Water/Nature Nymph animation.

Critique

The story basis has changed from my original idea (Ashley, scad student) to Mother Nature's story creating music with nature. I told my idea, aspirations and foreseen problems to my fellow classmates. They liked my idea, yet its too early in the production stage to give a legit critique. Although, I did get heads up on how to finalize the animation in color and which technique to use. So far its going ok, I guess.........?

I have changed the idea and visual aspect of my animation. Now, there will be a simple song and instrument sync. I have one character in one environment, yet a more complex background. Hopefully this will work out better.

My first scene using my character, Ankha. I will reinvent her to perhaps a Woods Noise nymph.

15th attempt to succeed (well, fail) in Flash

I think more horrible than the first, lol. I had a mountain of trouble with these flash projects. It wasn't the concept of the project that was hard, but the use of the tools and manipulating them. I'm still trying to get a good handle on flash....

First Time Touching Flash

This is my VERY first time touching flash. Please hold your judgements until I get more practice in, lol. Hopefully my animation ofcourse will become better, and I'm pretty confident it will.

PREMI !!!!!!!

Animation type: 2D

Characters: Ashley (scad student), and random extras

Sounds: traffic, bus engine, car engine, foot steps, splashing water, thumps (door), keyboard clicking, sighs, freaking out screams (wierd), crashes, extra's screams, punches, stomps.

Story: Girl (Ashley) goes through her regular schedule for the day. Annoying little quirks happen to her from her dorm all the way to her classes (misses the bus, car splashes water, get hits by a door). She is the most patient low tempered person ever so she's not bothered by it. Finally, she finishes her maya project that she's been working on for days. She goes to put the final in the dropbox, and the whole thing crashes!!! She loses all her work, it disappears completely! Ashley now FREAKS OUT, throws the computer scaring the crap out of near by students. She then storms away and greets a well mannered guy with a punch to the face.

Best work? Whoa........

Man, I can't really say what my best work is so far because there are pro's and con's about all of them. If I had to narrow it down I would guess its between the cut-out animation I did for motion studies, or the short scene of my character I did in animation 1, or the magnadoodle animation that I composed for my friend to make music to. I'm sure I'm going to have better work coming out of my flash class. Supposedly this question won't hunt me forever!

My Fav Animation

I don't really have a favorite. Yet, I'm more drawn to 2D animation than 3D. I like 3D, but I'd rather work in 2D. Any old school animation I'm more than likely in love with, ranges from hanna barbera, classic disney, and ESPECIALLY Don Bluth. Matter of fact, I would say Don Bluth would have to be my favorite. The backgrounds and layout are the best in my opinion, and the character design is on point!!!

The Beginning

I'm sooooo excited about this class and what it has to offer. I've always wanted to use flash and I'm expecting awesome things out of it. I have quite a few ideas for small stories so this should be totally fun and exciting to do.....YIPPIES!!!!!
