Hi all,
your transformations are almost done, the homework for tonight is to draw a....

Please show the entire body, use blue

The Bottom image of Mickey Mouse was from an attempt to propose animating him in a UPA style for the Mickey Mouse Club TV show.

166 Students:
Continue working on your Bible project. If you would like to draw a cast line up sheet, use the characters from your bible project.

Weekend Homework

Great Night tonight 165 folks.... the walk cycles are looking good. Over the weekend you want to work on the "coming to a stand still drawings". (See previous post for information) If you have this done, you should try sketching out your character in the jump poses. 
*Note that the upper jump cycle shown below is a little more realistic and the lower one has a lot of squash and stretch. (The lower one one is more fun to watch.)
*Also note that the pages listed for reading is from the Richard Williams textbook.

Weekend Homework for 165 students

 Draw yourself in the Basil Wolverton  and Tex Avery styles. Combine the two into one drawing. Full page in your sketchbooks.

Movie Trailer Project

Theme  for 166 Bible project

Do:
1. Pick any movie made before 1960 that is not an animated film.
2. Create an animated trailer for that movie.
3. The trailer should be no longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds.
4. Follow the guidelines in the Bible project outline.

Tip:
This is your chance to redraw the story as if you wanted to remake the movie as an animation. The story is the same but the look would be 
different because of the animation. Your drawings do not need to be exact. I want you to be inspired by the imagery and create your own
variations.
