SORRY EVERYBODY!

This week is about Anticipation. You'll be working on a spaceship animation that utilizes what you learned with the bouncing ball, Squash & Stretch and Timing, and anticipation. Anticipation is what lets the audience know what to expect. If a character was going to run from a standing position then suddenly was running, the audience would be thoroughly confused. To fix this, we put in the antic, the move to get ready to run. It's seen a lot in cartoons where the character lifts his leg and the arms go back behind them THEN the burst out running. ALSO! This is the first use of your X-Sheets. Do your layout, make sure you like your arcs, draw your keys then time it. Record the times on your X-Sheet and put in your breakdowns and time those. Continue to inbetween it. Here is the tutorial on the Space Ship <--

PEACE!
