Space Puppy Rough Thumbnail'd Storyboard

First pulled together thumbnails. I had lots of ideas floating around here and there; it feels good to be able and have them visually more clear for me. After I completed these, I wrote a script in Final Draft - I changed a few things, definitely. The next step is to turn these thumbnails into more readable, complete thoughts.

Animation III In-Class Sketches and Project Keyframes

Our first project - which will go toward our final/30 second short - is to animate an emotion-based action. I chose a scene featuring a pissed pig who challenges the protagonist cow, throwing down the boom-box before their throw-down battle.

Below are drawings from in-class last week, where we watched a Charlie Chaplain short and proposed random feelings/objects for our character to interact with. The drawings in red were done by others during a quick critique.

Animation III In-Class and Roughed Mickey

In-Class drawings from a Daffy/Porky short, and a rough timing exercise for Animation III. We were given all of these Mickey conducting keys (Symphony Hour) and were told to utilize arcs in the hands as well as get creative with our timings and in-betweens. Song credit = NOFX's "All Outta Angst"

In-Class Cow Gestures/Rough Storyboard Thumbs

Attitude Walk Pass 1

Process! Lots more to fix up, but it's a start. First roughed pass.

Rough Weight Exercise Pass 3+

Third and final (for now!) rough pass for class. I'd like to finish this up for the end of the year and my demo reel. I added tails and made the feet less slide-y in some real problem areas.
Also, here's some notes from class:

Rough Weight Exercise Pass 2

Finishing up for Tuesday - one more update to go. There's a lot of secondary movement and squash and stretch I'd like to revisit and emphasize. Really rough, but was a lot of fun. I look forward to cleaning this up into a polished piece in the future.

Rough Lifting/Weight Exercise

The gist of what I'd like to happen.
The assignment is to have a character pick up a box and pick up a fridge.

Animation II - VORP! First/Rough Pass

Hardcow Storyboard Pass #2

Minor update to the storyboard for my Animation II final; set up with sound and a first look at timing.
