This is my first attempt to create lip sync motion where i realized that I had added far to many sylables. This was because I was changing the lips nearly in every frame. In my next attempt I followed my research properly and only added the vowels, m & B, unless a letter was sad with over exspession.

The video above contaians my reserch I did for senseless George and the ideas that explored. Scene 1 I am kicking a can as this was one possible Idea I could of used to show my characters mood. Scene 2 I have used a ballon as a model of my characters head where I have stuck a piece of sting to the top on my charcters head so I could refence how the string was blown around by the wind. This helped me to figure out the motion

This is my out come Lucy wolf whom potrays three emotions happy, scared, angry and angry again. I had tried to add colour how ever when capturing two lights were out on the platform, this meant when I came to edit my drawin with live paint in illustrator, some of my drawings came out half black as the shadow was being picked up which was a shame.

This was my first basic test of a soft boncy ball. This helped me grasp the idea of the motion carried out between the arcs timing and spacing.

My finail attempt featured my simple arch acopanied by a votex at start and finish. I also attempted a falling bowling ball ,which I thought could of been better as it dropped or shall i say sinked into the floor quite unrealistically. If I was to try the bowling ball again I would like it to look alot heavier as it hit the ground, I think my primary mistake was adding to many frames at this crushal point!

This was my demonstraion on a simple jump, for reference I asked some one to film me doing a jump. The after I began starting and stopping the film, trying to draw as many frame as I could of the jump I simplefyde the apperance of the move into a stick man form. Finally I identifyed the key frames of the jump.

Previous I had began drawing from the music vidio Kriss Cross- Jump Jump to get the idea of a body jumping, as a result I began trying to create a pretty complex figure jumping from the front. How ever after doing a quick line test one a few of the key frames I had created i realised that the figues motion was not try to what would real life would potray , so I scrapted that idea for some thing slightly simpler to acheive.
