Traditional Animation – Project

Task 1 – straight ahead animation (no keyframes), shot by twos (each frame is photographed twice), 25 FPS (frames per second), screen ratio 16:9 (European tv ratio). This animation was inspired by the words “zipper” and “flowers”.

the references for the flowers

Task 2 – an animation of a face, pose to pose, shot by twos, 25 FPS, ratio 16:9.

Final design for the middle keyframe
The required frame rate
12,5 FPS – the required frame rate is too fast


Task 3 – bouncing ball, straight ahead (but with a plan), shot by twos, 25 FPS, ratio 16:9.

Task 4 – pose to pose to pose,

For the traditional animation section my impressions are that the process is very time consuming, since I didn’t manage to finish all parts I did the pose to pose section digitally and it really showed how much faster this method was. The rotation felt very spontaneous since this type of animation allowed me to go with the flow, without the rigid planning others methods of animation require.
