Sack Drop

Sack Drop Project

Goal:

Create an environment that shows the sack up high on a shelf wanting to get down and it must fall or drop to a midpoint on the stage and then come to a landing on the ground. Guess which of the 12principles of animation we will be using for this project? 

STEPS

1. Design your sack character. Choose one design (See video)

2. Create sack character page. (See video)

3. Ink your character page. (See Video)

4. Create character Spin in AA that tests your sack. Using only the 5 images that show the sack rotating in the same pose. This test is designed to give the animator its first visual of the character as something 3 dimensional.
