This animation was a bit of a challenge as we were using very old footage of Charlie Chaplin. The way he moves is very interesting and unusual. It was a challenge that I quite enjoyed.
Today we animated a person throwing a ball using straight ahead animation. This means there were no key frames, just drawing frame by frame. I was quite happy with the timing of this, which is what I focused on. However I was not so happy with the actual movement of the figure's body. The throwing arm is ok but the connected movements do not work as well. I am aware figures is something that I need to work on.
Today I began the modelling of my pirate ship. In realised that I made this a little frustrating for myself due to the irregular and stylistic way that I chose to draw the ship. Overall I’m happy with how this is looking so far, I applied coloured lamberts on he windows to make it easier to see how they will look roughly when textured. I intend to continue this tomorrow as well. A little note is that the reason the orthograph is slightly pink in the background is that this helps me model more easily as I struggle with black lines on white paper. Making this a pale pink makes it easier for me to see.
