These are just the videos found in the last post (HERE) but i wanted to put a copy of them in the video section as well so it was a little more organized ^^

The first one is what i handed in to the Uni, the second one is one that i did this morning and is how i wanted it to look but with all the software issues i could managed to get and the third one is a colored version of the second just cos i wanted a color version as well ^^

Hey just thought i would upload this as some of you are interested to see if i will manage to pull this off in 24 hrs....well 22 now but whos counting ^^

anyway this is what i have so far, going to work on the breakdowns next.

just so you know i've not but the diving boards movements in yet so thats why the feet go through the board ^^

also timing hasn't been added yet :D

and because i can :D....here is another render of my scene, this is from the blocking you just watched ^_^

As i feel that im still not understanding animation very well i thought i would do some small test animations to increase my animation skills and hopefully help me understand the process of animation better.

I have been watching a load of tutorials from Keith Lango and taking on board everything he has said so far to do this animation.

I know there is still more that needs doing but over the next couple of days i hope to have that fixed as well.

My problem as i see it is that i understand about line of action, anticipation, phrasing, timing, spacing...etc, but when it comes to sitting at the computer and doing these things i just can't seem to get the grasp on it.

So this is why i am doing these animations, in hope that i will be able to work out how to put everything i know into the animation and get it working.

I will say one thing for this animation, although its not the best and i know that, it did help me to slot a couple of the things i was struggling with into place in my head and put them onto the computer.

anyway this is what i have.....

Émile Turn Around Angle 1


Émile Turn Around Angle 2


Key Poses - I feel i managed to create some strong poses with the character.










oh and i know the face needs a lot of work on it......its not rigged at all yet so it make its hard to do the right face animation.

Here is the first part of my animatic, not completely there yet but im still working at it.

The font is just a stock one till i find a better one as well.
