This week, George gave feedback on my pendulum animation, and I made improvements accordingly to make it smoother. We had an assignment to create a fox bouncing animation, focusing on the tail movement. I studied squirrel tails as a reference to understand how the tail moves in tandem with the body. Ting’s assignment required adding performance elements to animations — she specifically asked us to make a short emotional animation for simple objects like a juice box that falls on the ground, so as to help the audience understand the ideas conveyed by the object. In addition, I also completed more emotion-driven Golden Pose practices with references.
