Weekly Comments

     This week I learned color theory, principles of design, principles of animation, and the painstaking work of creating a flip book! I really enjoyed when we picked out principles of animation inside Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs! What I hope to learn in the future is how to incorporate feeling and emotion into the character of your animation. What frustrated me this week was how long it took me to make my flip book, it is very tough to get it to look the way you want it to especially when working on paper. What made me happy this week was when my character was put in the hallway because it was good!

     My link of interest this week is an animation test for an upcoming Popeye CG feature! I find this very exciting because it is very refreshing to see that Sony Pictures is bringing back an old animated character! What is really cool about this is that it is only a animation test of what they want it to look like, its not a sneak peak, clip, or trailer of the movie at all! Its nice how it pays homage to the old 2-d style of Popeye with lots of squash and stretch! Lastly the overall quality of it shows that this will be really good!
