This modern day greaser is Leo. He often get’s himself into trouble and carries himself with a sense of complacency. However, he has a bit of a soft spot. After his former gang (The Grim Reapers) brutally attacked a town, he found a little girl and her cat who changed his life. Sadly she was killed by a gang member and ever since, Leo has decided to stray away from the path of violence with his new cat friend named Lion.

Here is my flour sack animation. I tried to portray the emotion of feeling annoyed or defeated, which is why he flops down to the ground. I imagine the flour sack saying. “UGH!”

 

I had a lot of fun with this project. I animated a ball bouncing off a cliff and made sure to make good use of the slow-in slow-out. The most challenging part of this project was timing.

Here I animated a bowling ball and a rubber ball side by side. The bowling ball was much easier to animate, being that it doesn’t require squash and stretch due to its mass. The rubber ball however, was a bit more difficult as I was having trouble keeping the mass consistent throughout each frame. Nonetheless, I tried my best and will continue doing ball studies to make them as fluid as possible. The project was fun and interesting.
