Animation Challenge: back to basics
Hi all,
Now, this might be a bad idea and may not catch on, but on 'the drawing board' board they have a monthly challenge, where they post photos and users of the forum all do their own interpretation...
I just thought this might be a cool idea for here, rather than waiting for contests - why not just have a monthly challenge?
I realise animation is a time consuming art form, so we can keep it as short and simple as we like - but have a 'take' on the theme? We could post our anme files and maybe have some support and inspiration for animation tests... ?
---------
Back to Basics
We all know the bouncing ball... well animation is about putting personality on sometimes the simplest things through movement. This challenge is about putting some personallity into the tired old ball who just got tired of endlessly bouncing...
In my entry below, the ball has had enough and decides to escape.
Ball Escape and anme file
can you take a simple ball and put him in some situation? this is practicing the power of animation at its simplest - the star is the ball - in this case just 4 points.
Join in if you like,
Or just tell me to shut up and get a job...
