FMX Animation: Dialogue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU0AA85MVGY For the dialogue was the hardest part of the projects. I had a hard time and not enough time to do what I really wanted to do, it took a lot of frames and a lot of time, but I think the overall animation was ok. I did everything in clip studio paint but edited it in after effects with what I knew about after effects.

FMX Animation: Typography animation

Text Animation h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_9ZUXpORg For the typography, surprisingly it was easier to handle than the bouncing ball, however figuring out where I should put the words and how I should format the video was hard. It was different because some of the words I had to split up the letters in order to animate them separately but, because I did a fast song it was harder to put all of the words in the scene as a fast as the words in a way that the audience could read it.

FMX: bouncy ball after effects

This project was fun to do but was also tedious. I had to fix the ball a lot of the time, but being previously self taught in after effects, it was easy to learn fast from after effects.

FMX Animation: Weight

For the weight, I decided to use characters I had previous made up. It was interesting to see my character brought to life, but it was hard to keep up the consistency of the hair and the clothes. but nonetheless it was fun and interesting to do especially in a program like harmony in which I had never used before.

FMX Animation: Walk cycle

For the walk cycle I decided to do a run just to see if I could do one. it was harder than I thought it was going to be especially since it was a run and I've never really studied people running before so it was definitely a challenge.

FMX Animation: Rotoscope

I found it easier to work with harmony rather than photoshop because of how the frames show up and the easy way to copy and paste

FMX Animation: Stop motion 2

For our stop motion project we decided to do a pixel animation about the revenge of a bunny. It was hard trying to figure out what To do with the character and how to get on obstacles such as getting on the bed and how to let the items like my shoe fall. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was gong to be, but it went smoothly. I tried uploading it to After Effects and editing the image sequence, which took about 200 picture(frames), but the raw canon files would not render correctly. I had to convert each picture to a JPG and redo the video. We also had to grab some music from Youtube, so finding it was not too hard.
