flour sack test 1; 1st October

this my experiment and first testing a flour sack jumping in action on F12 paper in 2D principles. Shot in 2 frames per second on a 25 frame rate. 

this test went well for me as animator for the first time, However I felt it needs more in-between frames in my next practice to slow down the action of the flour sack and knowing where to put those in-betweens when speed and push of the jump.

30th September: research and continue to practicing with bouncing ball

following off from the bouncing ball animation test on tv paint for the first time, I began to research into more depth with structure of the ball and their bounces and how it carries out a movement depending its mass ,speed and direction. This based on mechanical propulsion, Where an object is examined by force act, centre of mass and what happens when opposite forces collide. 

I watched a very using youtuber recommended by my tutor to observe and take notes.squash and stretch is a principle of animation to give a character of object as mass and flexibility to show smooth movements.it shows an example of the bouncing ball action and how different it is with and without squash and stretch.same with a character whereas it gives the character exaggeration to mood or a emotion that it express within the frame and narrative of the animation being told

 24 the September; 2D pendulum testing 

this workshop was basing upon fundamentals of animation with a swinging pendulum in action on the stop motion software dragon frame in 2D.Firstly we began starting with learning the key frame terminology of frame rating, Rationing the core of the movement of the swing depending on the mass, height and speed of the pendulum in a sequence.

these are some notes I have taken over the presentation to get a brief understanding of the frame rates and timings which oppose to actions in animation. Experimenting with the pendulum was interesting but in ways complex because as a first time animator I have quickly realised I'm aiming to focus expanding my timing and spacing between movements which has made struggle, however it all take practice. 

I have clear understanding for mass and formation of a object or character in the forming of an action taking place. Its just my spacing when to make it faster or slower as the action unfolds into a complete movement and space correctly
