VS 23 SEP W 9

So today in Visual Story class we started of seeing short films and clips from the evergreen Looney Toons cartoon shows. We studied different frame layouts, timing and spacing used in each on of them, it was interesting how each cartoon had their own way and method of breaking and going beyond the real, for example in the Road Runner series the Road Runner was so exaggerated that it could possibly go through walls on the other hand to counter this action of his, Coyote couldnt do the same, and fails terribly everytime he makes an attempt to beat Road Runner; small nuisances like these knit the whole cartoon together and no matter how Jerry is the real instigator, our mind still roots for that cute little fur ball even though somewhere we know that Tom is the actual poor fellow.
Next what we looked into was  visuals which are Image based and geometry based. From my understanding of what image based was all that forms without using geometric equations but may form it in total, example that was given was about the Mona Lisa portrait that was made using coffee cups and different colours of coffee.
Geometry based is all that we do in digital media where we use different softwares to formulate a geometry by n number of nodes and information.
I also learnt how to understand the focal point of a page, by simply  drawing across a diagonal and then a perpendicular from the other end and finding the mid point of that perpendicular line, that point is the focal point of that page, which should have the most important component of the page. Same trick is used in newspapers to form layouts.
My blogs keep getting deleted due to some glitch, hope this attempt  doesn’t:(

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:)
