Basic animation: Mr. Floursack

Finally! First real update for the year - late huh? This is my first animation (short?) piece, drawn on tons of paper on a lightbox. It's based on an assignment in Tony White's ' How to Make Animated Films' book. The background, as directed by the book, was obtained from www.desktopacademy.com . This took 3 weeks to complete and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. There are some mistakes in there but I've learnt a great deal from doing this assignment. And boy, have I gained a larger appreciation for animators and all that effort they put into getting the movement and fluidity just right! Additions and improvements can be made here but I thought, this is enough, it's time to move on to something else. I may add sound in later on, to learn more about post-production.


Thanks for watching! Vann signing off.
