First Assignment:Group and Personal Flip Book

Group Flip Book

As for our first assignment we were required to present a flip book animation drawn on post-it onetes/sticky notes. We were divided in groups of four for this task. Sounded fun and we were up for the challenge! 


We spent the rest of the day plannig our animation story. The plot mainly consists of a particular character travelling through four different worlds (our worlds). My part was to sum up the whole journey, so the character walks in to a backyard landscape. He tries to quetly pass the dog house but, unfortunately, wakes it's owner. The dog doesn't like what he sees and starts grownling at the man. Without any chances to stand against such beast, the only option left is to run.

The only thing that bothered me was that my drawing style would differ from others in my group. But in the end it blended in.

In all, I really enjoyed working in group and the animation turned out to be pretty good.

Personal Flip Book

This was my first time at making animation, so I've chosen something simple to start off. I wanted to animate an animal. So I decided on an owl. The story is simple. It mainly sits on a branch and falls asleep and yawns. Meanwhile, the wind starts to rise and blows away the nearest leaf.

My mistakes and things I would change. The background is extremely distracting from the animation ( the masking tape keeps flashing). I should have added the wind effect drawing.
