Back to the basics!!!

A few weeks ago we were given a project about the animation fundamentals where we had to go back to the very basics. The 12 principles of animation...1 Squash and stretch, 2 anticipation, 3 staging, 4 straight ahead or pose to pose, 5 Follow through and overlapping action, 6 slow-out and slow-in, 7 arcs, 8 secondary action, 9 timing, 10 exaggeration, 11 solid drawing, 12 appeal.

Here are some of my videos that I did when researching about the animation fundamentals...

Rocket exercise

Going up the stairs

movement exercises

standing up

 After all the research, we were given a brief where we were suppose to do a major video with a series of exercises in which we could show off our skills about walk/running cycle, weight, and finally an obstacle course. We were told to keep the design minimalistic and just focus on the movement, so as you will see I tried to keep simple but fluid lines. Here is the outcome (still in progress)
