Space Hopper
Ball bouncing
Ball bouncing across
This is the first time I have made any flipbooks and I have found the whole experience really refreshing! Having mainly animated on Photoshop, to bring drawings to life with a pencil and paper was really enjoyable and different for me.
What made flipbooks so interesting, was being mathematically precise on each frame, and playing back over and over to be 100% happy with the movement.
Based on the 12 principles of animation, I made a ball bounce in one place and then bounce across a path, demonstrating easing in and easing out and squashing and stretching.
Then for the last flipbook you got to choose your own mini animation, for which I have created a girl on a Space hopper hopping across the page till her hopper pops and she falls on the floor. To get the motion correct I used a video reference:
Im overall very happy with my flipbooks and the movement that I have demonstrated effectively within. I have picked up some great skills which will help me now when animating hand-drawn in the future. I found the movement of bouncing on the space hopper very difficult to demonstrate realistically, and I had no idea how much It would be, the visual reference was a life saver and I was able to create a fluid movement effectively in the end. I now feel eager to tackle more complicated movements head on, I feel like I have gained quite a lot of confidence in myself as an animator from this study task.
