20 s animation ideas


Morphing animation

Final Keyframes


With coulours

My character with some colour on it.

Just simple colours because this is the 1st time I make such animations.

Tips learnt from my previous projects

  • What I have realized today is that I when I draw and animate something, it tends to grow bigger everytime.
  • After drawing the keyframes for this project and filling in the gap between them realized that the animation keeps its original size.
  • So now each time I make an animation I have decided to dawthe keyframes to keep the same size.
  • Sometimes it doesn't only grow bigger, it moves sideway as well.

Storyboard

Here is my storyboard with some rough keyframes

Different exaggerated expressions

Now that we have a character, let's try to apply some different expressions to it. For instance Neutral, smiling, surprised, sad or even a puppy face

And let's try to exaggerate these expressions to the maximum.

After fnding exaggerated images I'm going to make a storyboard

My final morphing project


The first morphing project did not look like it was exaggerated, It was hard to stretch the character's face, so I have decided to create a character of my own (A character more suitable for the stretching and squashing that is required in this project. At first I was going to create a human face or an animal, then combined both and it gave me this character.

I think this character is OK (Maybe I should raw him with some pointed ears just to make it look more like an animal rather than a human).

I will now try to apply some expressions to it on my RVJ before I animate it, then based on that I will create a storyboard which will include the key frames and what must appear in between.

Exaggeration Test 1

As you can there is no exaggeration at all because I do not know how I can possibly exaggerate such face...So I think I might create another character more suitable for this project and I will apply the same expressions I tried to apply on the first character.

Expressions for the exaggeration project

I took pictures of myself wearing different expressions just to help me get ideas on how each expression might look on my character.
