This is our Animation Lab and the module is taught by Philip Garcia. He worked as a layout artist on The Simpsons while living in Los Angeles.
The image above shows the portable animation table that we use to animate on. I've always seen animators using these in the featurettes of the Disney DVDs and I'm quite excited to be actually using one of these "turn tables" here in class.
We're studying the basics of Animation at this point. Learning about squash & stretch and understanding the Bouncing Ball. These are the building blocks that animation is based on, and just about anyone can TELL you this. The trick is in the animation itself, especially with the added elements of time and space!
Looking forward to completing my bounincg ball down the stairs project. Watch out for that! :O)
