Week 1:
Create a 5 sec long animation, displaying a geometric shape enters the screen, and expresses a trait or an attribute.
(example - excited, aggressive, tired, curious, etc.)
Week 2:
Bouncing ball - Create an 8 sec long animation of a bouncing ball, using the borders of the frame as the edges for the ball to bounce from.
Week 3:
Complex loop - Create a looping animation, of a system made of several moving parts. You can choose between a mechanical or an organic system.
- Pay attention to the nature of motion of an organic body, and the way that a machine with internal moving parts works and moves.
- Outline the hierarchy of the system, and how the animation is derived from it (which parts are moving as a result of the motion of other parts)
- The motion of the system has to make sense as a unified system, but the system can be completely imaginary, and perform imaginary actions.
- Render the loop running at least 5 times, so that the final video demonstrates the loop repeating.
- Post you work to the wiki.
