Our next experimental animation was the Lip-sync and we had the freedom of choosing the type of medium we wanted to work with (things we’ve learned in class). I chose to do it in paper cut-outs because that was the one I was most comfortable with. Enjoy!

So my 4th and 5th assignments for the Experimental Animation class were both group projects. One for chalk and one for pixilation. I’m not a huge fan of group projects only because we have only a week to arrange times to meet and get the project completed. Well.. enjoy~

So our third project for the Experimental Animation was to animate a minimum of 4 seconds worth using paper cut-outs. I went a little too crazy and didn’t get to finish due to getting sick over the weekend, but I handed in my unfinished work.

Preparing for the animation was fun, but I only had 2 days to actually animate it and I’m not too happy with the end result, but I learned alot so that I’m happy about. Enjoy.

EDIT: Many people seem to believe the scene where the farmer runs across the field is done traditionally, but that’s not the case. It was done with the replacement technique. It’s 5 separate cut-outs of the farmer I kept exchanging and taking the picture.

Our second Experimental Animation project was to animate using clay. First we had to morph a cube into a sphere or vice-versa. Second, we had to make a ball jump using replacement animation and lastly, we had to make a worm inch it’s way across the screen.

This semester, the only type of animation class I get to take is the Experimental Animation class. It’s alot of fun, but alot of work. The first project we had to do was a group assignment. We had to animate something using Found Objects with 2 seconds worth of animation for each person in the group. I think we went a little over board..
