Last week’s exercise was animating somebody diving into water, using extreme stretch frames with a focus on timing.
I’m enjoying using TV Paint and creating these short loops so much! Initially I tried to go for something more creative with this task but a little way in I decided it would be best to keep things simple whilst I’m learning the basics. I loved creating the stretch frames and seeing the effect that they have, and I have also really got to grips with using timing charts which is allowing me to work faster.
So far I have been copying Steve’s timings and drawings for these exercises, so moving forward I would like to do something a little bit differently whilst still keeping it very simple. I think this will help me to feel more confident and prepare me for animating my own work instead of just following a guideline. Overall I am really happy with how this came out.
