dood. depth of field.

got it.

The Transition

Comp 1.mov

Play it backwards.

It's rough but

It kinda looks cool

And the blue one looks weird.. like not explodey enough

the 12 principles of design part 2

Secondary Action: Some of the short animations have pieces separate from the main point of interest that are moving, creating an added depth or realism to the movements.

Follow Through: One of the main animations at the beginning flows out, and collapses on itself. After the collapse, it lets out kind of a splash.

Pose-by-Pose: The current way we are doing the  flash animation is Pose-by-Pose; we drew out the main, key frames and filled in some of the frames in between.

Staging: The small animations occuring the middle are emphasized by the wide empty space around them.

Appeal: We are using attractive, flowing movement and shapes keeps the viewers attention.

Solid Drawing: The second part of our animation uses three-dimensional objects made in blender.

12 Principles of Animation (Part 1)

1. Timing: The timing of our animation is based primarily on our sound, which consist of a constantly increasing breath and heart beat.

2. Ease In/Ease Out: Each animation that we show will ease in as a small abstract form and ease out as a different abstract form.

3. Arcs: Arcs are used in the general motion of all our animations.

4. Anticipation: Our entire animation showcases the idea of anticipation.

5. Exaggeration: We exaggerate our forms by stretching the laws of physics. We will create several vortices to form and flow as we please.

6. Squash and Stretch: We will incorporate squash and stretch in a portion of our animation where we simulate flowing water using Blender.

So this is kinda cool.

It like leaves you hanging and cuts but goes back.. anticipation!

and it's really simple stuff but it's intriguing .. I think.
