12 principles of animation
We needed to find one of our favorite clips and identify principles of animation it contains.
I love the movie Antz, here is the dance scene. It has great staging, anticipation, secondary action (lots of antenna movement). The timing is also really good, and the music really helps out. You can really see some exaggeration after he bumps into the first large ant.

Memory Project
Here is the looping animation I created for my 622 memory project. It was a short
project to create a piece based on "memory". This is my first strong
memory- when I was about 3 I begged my Mom to make me some butterfly
wings for Halloween. I ended up getting really upset when I couldn't
actually fly.

Here is the concept for my 2D animation. This is for our memory project- I decided to create mine based on one of my very earliest memories. I wanted to be a butterfly for halloween one year and I made my mom make me some butterfly wings. I ended up getting really upset and crying when I couldn't actually fly. In my animation, I plan on showing him jumping and flapping his wings, then landing unsuccessfully in the pile of leaves. I will have a bunch of leaves fly up (hopefully), and I thought it would be cool if I could make it a loop.

Animatic
We had to create a 3d animatic that shows the timing and the camera placements. Still very basic as there is little color and the objects will be replaced.

Second round storyboard/concepts
I decided to change a lot of my storyboard and concepts. I didn't spend as much time on the storyboard, but I think it will work much better as an animation.

Idea/storyboard/concept art
Our semester project: create a 30 second animation from start to finish (concept, modeling, rigging, lighting, etc.). The only constraints: it has to be based on a short poem or limerick, it has to have 2 organic characters, a mood shift, and at least 4 props.
My first task was to find a suitable poem from which I could create a simple story. I spent hours at Barnes & Noble looking at children's poetry books. I found a few good ones, and for a while I thought I would create one about a guy on a small boat who has so much anti-shark stuff but ends up being eaten by an octopus or something. I decided that this idea would be a bit difficult to execute and finally found a poem I really liked:
"In the window of the washroom
at our school yesterday,
A little bug was crawling,
in its little buggy way.
I whispered in its tiny ear,
to not make any noise,
because it was a ladybug,
and the washroom is for boys."
- Lois Simmie
We had about half a week to come up with the storyboard and concept art, but I needed to go to Austin for the weekend for my girlfriend Alex's birthday, so I ended up working feverishly to create this storyboard:
The next thing I had to do was create some concept art. Here is the front/side of the ladybug:
and here is the front/side of the boy:
