Reel.

Assorted animation.

A few of my recent animation homeworks for 2D Animation class:

Ball Throw.

An assignment I completed as the 6th homework for 2D animation class. The actual assignment was to do an arm throwing a ball to demonstrate the concept of the breaking of joints. I took inspiration from a recent James Baxter lecture in which he talked briefly about how he had animated the lion king scene in which Scar walks around Simba. So I thought I'd try and do something similar...

My parents cant work out how to get their computer to view gifs so I thought I'd include a video format as well.

As a little bonus, here is the second animation I completed after receiving feedback from Brian Ferguson that I could try and go a little more stylised with my ball throw:

Life Drawing.

A small selection of drawing from my Friday life drawing session. CalArts gets all the best models!

Waving Flag.

The week 4 assignment for 2D animation class was to animate a wave:

Pendulum Swing.

Pendulum swing in perspective completed for the week 3 homework for the 2D Animation class lead by Brian Ferguson.
