LAUAN 403 Task 11 - Follow Through and Overlapping Action

Follow through and overlapping action describes the action that takes place after the main narrative
action. It is used to demonstrate the weight and material composition of an object. Our task was to animate a stack of boxes- mine are made of jelly.

• WWW, squash and stretch, correct demonstration of weight and material, successful demonstration of follow through and overlapping action. End result is fun and boxes have appeal
• EBI, speed and timing I think could be slowed, neater line work and more consistency of shape. Planning, focus and concentration while completing task.

LAUAN 403 Task 10 - Staging

For our staging task we had to make a storyboard for a nursery rhyme. I chose one with a clear narrative/character. I drew it traditionally with pencil then fine liner and touched the images up on photoshop. 

• WWW - good use of rule of thirds. Clear drawing, shape and composition, thought about and varied camera angles. 
• EBI - probably could have included some more complex staging and maybe thought about background more. Possibly include some better shading to show lighting in future.

LAUAN 403 Task 9 - Anticipation

Anticipation is the movement before the main narrative action. It acts as a forerunner or precursor to tell the audience what is going to happen before it does. I left myself extra time to complete this task as I wanted to challenge myself- and I think the outcome is a success. 

• WWW - style, composition, timing, use of anticipation, time management. 
• EBI - better line work and consistency frame to frame, a bit more efficient planning, better expectation management. 

LAUAN 403 Task 8 - Squash and Stretch

Squash and stretch is super fun and was really interesting to learn and play with. I did try to maintain volume of the shape throughout these animations but definitely let it slip at times. However overall I think they work nicely and also use the other principles well- like arcs, timing and easing- although at some points I definitely over did the easing. I made the third little animation because I was enjoying the technique so much that I wanted to see where else I could use it.
