Walking Animation Blog
Doing a walking animation was very challenging. My animation was of Winnie the Pooh walking through the forest. Up above is my spritesheet, and I used the images of Pooh walking from left to right. What I learned in this project was about how to create animations. I had never known how to originally do this, and now I have a small of idea of what kind of work it would take to create an animated tv show or movie. Now I know why it takes years to complete movies and all the work that goes into a few seconds of animation. Before we started this project, I knew how to make a stick figure animation on Pivot, and that was it. Now, I know how animation programs work and have a small idea of the magnitude and complexity of animated movies.
Even though this project was fun there were many challenges as well. The most challenging was probably sizing the image in Paint Shop Pro with the previous image, making it in the same place and same size as the other one and sucessfully copying it to the Animation Program. If you didn't size the image right, then it would come up small and blurry on the animation, and had to be redone. I had to have Mr. Clifford help me fix this issue, and I also figured it out with trial and error. Once I knew how to correctly size my image and move it, the rest of the project was very easy.
I am very proud of my project. Overall, it was alot of work for a small animation with a simple background, but I have never done an animation like that before so I am proud of my accomplishment. I think under that amount of time, the animation should have been more complex, but I know it was my first time. I think if I did the project again I would add more characters or Pooh doing something more exciting than walking. I would make him skip, jump, or play in the woods. Overall, this was a very fun project that I am proud of.
