Unit 33 - Task 1 (Michael Bishop)

Squish and Stench

This is when a character in the animation gets squished and/or stenches into something else. This is usually due to the actions of a other character on screen, one of the body parts of the character will expand to a shape that they are not meant to. This could happened with a item of longer size and weight is dropped on a character.

Anticipation

This is a building up of tension in the audience to what is about to happened on the screen, this can sometimes be opening a door slowly being tension for the audience to see what is behind the door. Most times in building up tension in the audience they expect something about to happened, hints of this may be a change in sound effects and facial expressions. A example of this is the gunpowder following tom in this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgKV5R65aCE&feature=related

Weight

This is how a character will interact and move being bigger, larger characters will move more slowly and struggle with tasks to do, they will also have trouble fixing into places being larger then the other characters. When characters like this walk they seem to throw there weight around a lot when they walk. Here is a clip showing how weight can stop a character fitting in some where. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aBaX9GPSaQ

Over emotion

This is when a character in the animation expresses a emotion a big too much then needed to comedic effect. This can sometimes be eyes growing bigger then normal or items also getting emotion on the character that don't need to. This may be when a character is getting scared or liking something that he shows this emotion in this way. Here is a clip showing Tom getting scared at the dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgKV5R65aCE&feature=related

2nd Action

This is when a action is taken by one of the character is it produces a other action based of the first. This means when a character punches a other character the 2nd characters face will move based of the first action taken. A other example of this would be a football getting kicked and it moving, the first action would be kicking of the football while the 2nd action would be moving of the football.
Here is a example of this when a character blows on the sails to make the boat move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGxF_Q4RxLg&feature=related

Animated Gif is below which I made in Adobe



This is now the finished Product which will loop till it meets 10seconds!

Venton:
is very stupid character who doesnt take much time in his work to stop
Mike and Dan. Venton sees the world in his own madness and wants to rid
it of all life so he may become a god and begin his own world and
create life.



Mike:
is a very smart character who dan, his brother looks up to very much. This character has
a
very dirty mind at times in which it is not needed. He always looks on
the brighter side to everything and looks for ways to cheer people up.
He thinks about one thing... Food, his belly is one of his main things
that makes him happy.



Dan:
looks up to his brother Mike and usally follows him. Dan is a very
strong character which can somtimes get to his head, he is also a big
computer wizard and likes to read books. He is very good with
technology and can make up anything to solve the problem. Dan loves his
drink in any kind, if it has a % he likes it.

this looks pretty good mate , cant wait till you add the characteristics and more detail

Likewise, i think this is looking good so far, looks like a happy purposeful walk!

These would make an interesting comic idea, would lov to see an animation about them.
Cool character ideas.

Awesome!

Seeing what else you've been up to, I like it...

Nice walk cycle

It kinda looks like it gets fatter but other than that I love it ;D

nice walk cycle, looks clean

mike looks cool, all the characters are cool, they could all fit together in a sitcom style show lol

haha, I'm loving the walk cycle with him walking on the wall. He jumps off a bit quick though xD, maybe you could just stick a delay in between the end and the beginning - then it would be prefect.

Looks good bishop, saw u do most of this in class haha!

Didnt realise u made him walk ontop of the wall aswell though lol, and i agree with andy, the end need sorting out a bit.

Really improved it as you went along good work.

Maybe you should extend the last few frames just so he don't suddenly appear back at the bottom, like you did with the other end

This looks good. Loving the leaves on the tree. However I think the sun's rays near it seem to go a bit funny. Especially when the character walks past them and they disappear.

good stuff like his hair!! it looks liek yours
