Benjamin's Visual Diary

"Week 6: Movement."

For week six we had to focus on 'movement', I decided to take a more experimental approach and make a small animation consisting of 5 frames; Entry six consists of the entire animation.

Entries One To Five

For the first five entries I was puzzled about what exactly to animate, I found myself sitting there, almost stressing over it. I ended up settling on a very basic walk cycle of one of my characters, Keto. I do not typically animate, so it was good practice.

Entry Six

Entry six is the walk cycle put together. Although you may not think twice about animation in general, a lot of it is hand drawn; the process takes weeks if the animation is extremely detailed. It takes years to master, such as drawing, and I feel as if it deserves more praise. It brings our drawings and creations to life; right in front of our eyes.
