‎​I did it!

‎​‎Today’s was only 4 frames. The arm is wonky but also it was a bit rushed so I’ll forgive myself. It was supposed to be a bike but turned into a scooter.

‎​I did the hammer exercise that is popular as a test and also for students. It’s harder than I thought!! Maintaining the volume is challenging. Also animating is tedious and I have no patience.

I made a 24 frame (1 sec) animation following a dancer reference video! It's from a cool website called http://www.bodiesinmotion.photo where you can go frame by frame for live reference. Really handy. Anyway, I took a stab at playing around with spacing to see how things feel. Went a little wild with the frame modulation because I was doing this in Storyboard Pro instead of Procreate (where I default to basically only animating on 3s). This is a mix of 4s, 3s, 2s. I have no idea what I'm basing those decisions on—it's purely feeling lol.

here's the timesheet for the previous video animation because I couldn't uploaded a jpeg with the video file in the same check-in 😐

This is a study referenced from mob psycho. It's animated only on threes, which was interesting to me. At first it felt like it was playing too fast, but when I tried changing it to fours, then it was obviously too slow. I wonder if there are keyframes to hair blowing shots like this, or if an animator would straight ahead it

so this is a head turn, I drew 3 key frames first and then the 2 inbetweens. something is off with the hair on the second turn but I am sleepy and don't want to debug right now.
