this animation was for a commercial, but leaving the marketing information aside...

This animation uses a lot of the principles of 3d animation: charactor personailities, squash and stretch, anticipation...etc.

secondary action, and squash and stretch are prominent in this animation

i feel this animation is a great example of anticipation, and use of camera angles. Character personality is also present.

Awesome Animation

This is test animation for the upcoming Tron sequel. It was originally shown at Comic Con this summer and is scheduled for release in 2011. Many different principles of animation can be seen in this video, but its mainly successful because the viewer is constantly in the state of anticipation until the very last second. (the video is too big to embed, so here's the link) 

TRON LEGACY

I came across this next clip a while ago and it's something that I share with a lot of people. Many different principles of animation can also be seen in this. This is one short film that people may need to see a few times to really get it, but I believe this lets people appreciate it even more.

This video is also pretty cool. It also contains cinematic qualities about it. 

This last video was something that Vaughn showed us in Sculpture I the other day. Kinda freaky but also pretty cool.

GRAFFITI STOP MOTION

This is pretty cool too...

embedding was disabled on that one. The dialoge is cheesy as hell, but it's pretty cool in terms of pans and tilts.

Pixar's Short Film "Lifted"

Robin Hood Daffy Classic

Scrat's Anticipation

Ice Age uses several of the animation techniques we discussed in class. Scrat is an exaggerated version of a sabretooth squirrel. He squashes and stretches as his limbs move fluidly, each of them moving on an arc. As he walks toward the acorn his tail follows the movement of his body, a secondary action. The acorn is a good example of staging; the animators made it very clear that it is the object Scrat desire. He is a nutty little squirrel.

Lifted uses the same techniques as Ice Age. There is anticipation when the abductee is suspended in mid-air for a second after the alien turns the abductor ray off. The abductee's hair moving with the motion of his body is a good example of secondary action. The alien (at the control panel) arms move fluidly on arcs.

Robin Hood Daffy. Daffy being a exaggerated duck, squashes and stretches as he walks across the screen in the beginning of the film. His limbs are build on arcs making his movements appear more realistic. The feather at the peak of his cap moves along with him, a secondary action.

Fairytale Appropriation

I have decided to use the Alice in Wonderland story as inspiration for my project. My ideas so far are loosely based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, but I think that the viewer will still understand what I based my project on.

At the same time, my story will also have elements from A Christmas Carol and will relate to the main character Ebenezer Scrooge.

My story will involve a man with a character flaw who then gets into an accident. He will be in a coma for the majority of the story. Part of the story will be from an outside perspective in the hospital room where he will experience different elements (if a window is open and he gets a chill, if he's given a pain medication that could cause hallucinations). The other part of the story will be what his mind experiences while in a coma (the "wonderland" part). The outside influences will have an impact on his mind experiences.

Storyboards

Jack and the bean stalk

I decided to use Jack and the bean stalk because this fairytale provides a number of morals throughout it. Some of lessons this tale teaches are respecting your parents wishes, not straying from the plan, greed, and curiosity. Jacks immaturity will be my main focus, and i will try to parallel his struggle with doing the right things with more modern charactor.

The Boy who cried Wolf

I have always enjoyed this fable. I know it is not (quite) a fairy tale but it does have a moral. The Boy who cried Wolf's sole moral is not to lie, because if you do then people will not believe you when you are actually telling the truth. Chicken Little, Big Fat Liar and even an episode of the Simpsons called Marge gets a job are all loosely based on The Boy who cried Wolf. I want to see if I can take the Shepard boy's lying to another level, maybe have him turn into a werewolf or something...

I like the idea of the Japanese fountain of youth. The idea of excess to a fault would be fun to pursue. It's a short story with a lot of room for interpretation.

This one is less of a storyboard, but I like the drawing style and color treatment.
