So in today’s animation class we started with the regular gesture and contour drawing. We then saw few of the VFS show reels and also their animation work, where they were doing the exact same assignments that we are doing here, few films were really very creative and had a very nice basic storyline to it. Sir then showed us our next assignment which is the Tail ball in Maya and explained all the steps. We were supposed to create a story out of it and draw it in basic thumbnails.
Post drawing we discussed the story with sir and moved to the computer lab were we started with the animation, Sir showed us many ways we could improve our animation with the help of a pdf which was shared with us, Spilnophobia.
I’ll be attaching my playblast very soon also following is my thumbnail storyboard for the animation that we are doing.

DRAWING FOUNDATION WEEK 1, 30.07.2019 So today we had a class with Akash Sir on Drawing Foundation. Post introduction Sir showed few of his works and they were AMAZING! The amount of time he had put in for those sketches was unbelievable. He showed us presentation and it showcased a lot of his college work which again were too inspiring. We then started by simply drawing straight lines, circles and then ellipses. He also showed us the right way to sketch few forms and shapes in the right manner. Sir showed us a demo on designing and sketching a helmet in merely 5 minutes. He helped us understand the time division and importance of thumbnails and basic rough sketches. We were then assigned 25 minutes to sketch whatever we felt like, and the first thing that strikes my mind is my vegetable vendor(dont ask me why?) following below is the sketch I drew in the 25 minutes that were assigned, We discussed further how everyone's drawing had a basic sketch to it and sir gave another...

So today’s 3D Animation class was FUN! Every class we do gesture drawing where one person poses in front of the class and the rest quickly draws the gesture. Today we did the same exercise in a different way, we played side ball! Whenever sir saw a nice unique pose being showcased, sir asked that person to freeze for ten to fifteen seconds and we quickly used to sketch, by this we learned to draw more dynamic, instant, realistic and quirky pose gestures. Later we did stop motion of a bouncing ball(coin) where I learned a lot about the curve arcs and how gravity affects the arc and placement of the coin. Post bouncing coin I went through the book called Animator’s  survival kit by Richard Williams. I ordered it instantly as this book has got everything, from basics of animation to advance level.We later used our light boxes to draw the bouncing ball cell animation using pose to pose. I found it quite interesting how back when I was in school I used to copy science diagram using t...

ANI 17Sept MAKE UP WEEK

So today we had a make up class for animation where we continued with the previous exercise of heavy and light ball. Before that we did contour and gesture drawings, saw few short films and few of Sir’s work. In my animation for heavy and light ball, I have added an interaction between those two balls where when the light ball hits the wall on which the heavy ball is, the heavy balls hits the light ball from above and bounces back to the ground. I tried many ways but I haven’t got the effect that I want yet, few scenes look very unnatural and I am going to try again, this time I’m going to keep it simple and get the fundamentals right first. Stay tuned, I’ll be uploading all my playblast in the next blog:)
