Rotoscope

I went with a scene from Amazing Spider-Man 2 for my rotoscope. I was initially concerned with the task of rotoscoping, but eventually grew comfortable. I like that the audio from the original clip matches well with the animation I created. I'm glad this unit is over, but I love my final result.

Stop Motion Project (Appeal)

For this second stop motion project I choose to represent appeal. I had a intricate set up, but with DragonFrame in trial mode I was forced to make an adjustment. I used my previous knowledge and set up a camera and tripod in my bathroom. I used a simple setup of two shampoo bottles moving slowly. Instead of a DragonFrame trial project with a watermark, I thought a DIY project at home edited with Premiere would have more appeal. It is short, simple and to the point.

Bouncing Ball Stop Motion

With my limited background in animation, I still felt ready for this first assignment. I checked out the stop motion lab and got to work in Dragonframe. The first two animations I made were a bit choppy so I swapped out the small ball of construction paper for a bottle cap. In homage to the initial ones I made, I kept the first frame to portray a transformation.

My goal for this animation was to get my feet wet and I feel like I accomplished that. I look forward to upcoming projects with a larger scope and more experience.
