In our first lesson we were give the task to create an animation for a zoetrope which is a device that contains a strip of images and when spun creates the illusion of movement. I chose to do mine on a simple day and night cycle. I was fairly happy with the outcome of it however it was quite hard to make due to being unable to compare the current drawing to the previous drawing, which made it hard to keep the sun and moon the same size.
Our next assignment was to create an animation with smear frames. I was quite unsure on what to do for this assignment but I decided to do another bouncing ball animation and used smear frames to make it look faster.
Following the formative assessment the feedback I got was that my first bouncing ball tended to grow in size/volume at every bounce. I used this feedback and redid the animation trying to make the ball stay at a more constant size.
This was another walk cycle that I did which I feel was more successful than the first one. This I did digitally which allowed me to see how the animation looked whilst I was animating rather than having to photo all of the frames. In the future I would like to add some arm movement to the animation to make it look more realistic.
