Basic animation principles exercise on squash & stretch, slow in & slow out and wave principle. The basic requirement is a ball with tail bounce into the room and out, but I did a little something extra by giving it a little story.
   
First animation exercise on character's personality and story telling. Here is Stubby the pencil being pissed off by a putty eraser for stealing his show.
   
Jump, Jump and ouch! that gonna hurt. Well, "No pain no gain, no guts no glory". Apply squash and stretch on a fat character.
   
Body rotation exercise, think 3 dimensional. This exercise require a Character that has to been established from cartoon, cannot use own design character. So after numerous selection and research finally use 'Jake' from Disney's "Rescues down under".
   
Walk profile. A character walking from one end to the other. The only complain is that the character is much too stiff.
   
Cartoon take. This is what happen when you watch too much scary movies... aaaaahhhhhh!!!......
   
A little warm up exercise the lecturer gave after a long holiday break, as a matter of fact, this fat dog could also need some exercise.
   
Pitch and swing exercise. So far this is one of the animation I'm most happy with. Fox VS Tiger. Who won?.....hhhmmm....don't know, don't care, how about that.
 
My first attempt on lip-sync. He is really one "maaaaad" scientist!......He should be more aware of his high blood pressure instead. I had to amid it, my lecturer help me a lot on the character's acting and lips.
   
This is my own walk cycle exercise I did during my free time. Hey! It's SD (super deformation) Alphaleo.
   
Experiment on run cycle, also my first attempt on animating a mecha. No! a tiger mecha, and with running sound!... COOL!.....Lastly the design was pretty much influenced by Zoids.
