I want to do a jump scare animation where the character is watching TV and is pulled into it by a creature.
My plan is to animate him sitting down first, so if anything goes wrong, I can submit this as a sit down animation.
I have finished my animation and have begun rendering. I know need to compile the rendered frames in Premier and an evaluation. I am aiming for distinction. I need to do a detailed and critical evaluation.
I feel the animation conveys the story pretty well, as it is clear what has happened to the main character. I think the personality in the main character was conveyed well, with the facial expressions and secondary actions. I think I could have made the pulling animation better as it is too slow and defies gravity slightly and the timing could be a bit better.
I planned to add secondary action, exaggeration and squash and stretch. I used exaggeration a lot to add character and personality to the main character and secondary action, such as the hand being used to shift weight on the sofa. However, I didn’t add squash and stretch as I didn’t think it needed it. I could have added more secondary actions as some actions are hard to follow.
I think I could improve my timing, as some things happen too slowly, such as the monster reveal and lights could have done with being brighter so movements are shown better.
hand jitters a little. light changes half way through is bad after
Make animation timing smoother
Add more animation principles
