Morphing 9/10/12

In our third animation Principles class we were split into two groups. group one we with Ron and group two with Andy. I was with Ron all day. We were concentrating on stagger animations which i will explain in another post. In this post i will write about the morphing task.

Group one were told we had to draw a random drawing, nothing too complicated, something that can easily be replicated and easy to animate. Once we had designed out drawing, we had to made a duplicate copy. Once the whole class had two drawings of their own we gave them to Ron, who then mixed them out and handed everyone out two random drawings. We were then told that we had to do a small animation of the drawings morphing into each other, they only have to be 17 frames long - but for the purpose of my blog i have captured the 17 frames and then carried on with the reverse order to create something longer.

Here is a link to my first draft on Vimeo.

I want to add maybe 2 more frames of the dog so it is visible for slightly longer on the screen. I will also use Final Cut Pro to add more of copy the sequence and add it to the end to make it seem longer, just so it loops. Otherwise i am actually quite pleased with the result after i initially was a little baffled with how to tackle it. The fluidity of the animation is pretty smooth.

It will be really interesting to see how everyone had animated their given drawings, and especially when it is put into a long animation.
