Today we had a go at pose to pose animation, which is where you draw out the poses you are definitely going to have, then draw out the in betweens after. To get it even we were told to draw the first pose, last pose and middle pose, then do in between each, then do in betweens again but not to the middle one. (to get the slow in slow out effect of the pendulum). We used light boxes and special animation paper then scanned the drawings onto the computer. We opened it in Quick time player 7 and clicked open image sequence and set it to 12 frames per second, so our 24 frames would make a 2 second animation. This is what i ended up with.
Looking back at it i think i should have gone over the drawings in a darker pencil so it shows up better. Also i think it would have looked better if it was slower. I quite like this form of animation however it does take quite a while to get it right in the drawing then scan it all in. If it was a long animation this would take FOREVER. I like how all the paper is separate though so if you go wrong on one, you can either rub it out or just get a new sheet of paper. Also you can change the order easier or trace different things.
