Today, since I am knee deep in another quarter and already losing sleep over it, I will share with you 2 assignments I just completed. These are both very simple animations using Maya, and are standard animation training exercises which you will see lots of. The Bouncing Ball, and the Flour Sack. The purpose of the bouncing ball is to understand some of the most basic principles of animation, those being timing, squash, and stretch. If you look carefully, you'll see lots of bouncing ball animations online in every type of animation media out there, be it 2D or 3D. The Flour Sack animation is designed to help develop your ability to emote through a character with no face and limited motion. You are suppose to show a change in behavior or a reaction to an event or object through body language or pantomime. Again, there are lots of animations out there of flour sacks. I have a bouncing ball and a flour sack animation hand-drawn, which is posted on this site. Just look for them. Other than that, here are 2 new animations, this time in 3D!

Basic 3D Animation tests
Yesterday I got to go to a talk from a Disney Interactive Director, and it was really inspiring. He knew most of my teachers, and couldn't say enough good things about SCAD and the advantages we have here. The day before I went to "AtlantAmation", a local film festival sponsored by SCAD, with many student films from SCAD. While some were better than others, I was also inspired to make my own short film. I may talk more about that later, but for now, I have several large projects looming over me.
