Bouncing ball 3D

Continuing on from the bouncing ball project, I used the extra class time I had to come up with a 3D feel of the project. It needs to be a little more foreshortened, but this should work for now.

There has been a swap of two of my classes to accommodate the anatomy drawing session which will now cater to three classes (two from cohorts 6 and one from cohort 5). So now two days in the week ends at 7pm.

In other news, my "jimmy" arrived today as twittered! I'm looking forward to smoother workflows for video projects. :O)

Bouncing Ball 2

Wow! What a weekend! Spent all of Saturday running a programme in Church called the East District Youth Day 09! It was an afternoon of reflection for 15 year olds culminating with Mass with the Archbishop at CHIJ Primary at Katong. The theme is Spera in Deo (Hope in God), and it helped remind the teens of God in their oh-so-busy lives! Oh how noisy and distracting our lives can be every second of the day! In fact, this reminder is useful for anyone at any age including myself.

Last Friday, I ended the school week with Principles of Animation. We spent the class reviewing our first round of the Bouncing Ball. While at it, I conveniently came up with two other pieces. Here's one where I added the element of 'live' action into it. This piece pays tribute to the Disney's Alice Comedies made popular even before Mickey Mouse and Snow White. :O)

The Bouncing Ball

Today, I created my very first 2D animation! How egg-citing!! Titled the bouncing ball, this exercise teaches about time and space - how the spacing between each illustrated ball is so important to creating the illusion. I also practiced the concept of squash and stretch! Will continue to refine this piece next week!

On another note... I spotted two people within a 1 km radius who have the exact same Mickey Mouse ID lanyard as me! How interesting!! :O)


I don't know how to create a loop in Blogger, if you do, let me know...
