Blog Post 9


Really several blog posts and a do-to list. I had a horrible weekend and while I'm up to date on class work I'm falling behind on this bit. So this is me trying to catch up again.

• Think of sounds for flipbook, object and relationship animations - make notes on your blog 

Well I more or less like the sounds I made for the flip book. I have horse hoof noises and a kinnda ambiguous dragging noise for when the footman leave the screen. I don't want over whelm it with noise. But I suppose the falling ground could have a noise and maybe a squeaky noise for the wheels? That sounds like too much though.

For the wind sock I think it should be easy to make so some whooshing noises. And maybe the flapping sounds for the sock itself.

The spaghetti maybe harder. I don't know that spaghetti really makes noise. I suppose I can do a bubbling/popping noise for the water.

• Develop an idea for a Rock, Cat, Feather Animation in your sketchbook/blog 

So I have no idea what I am doing for that yet. I might do a Halloween themed animation, since it tis the season. So something with a black cat and a witch's broom (stick) and maybe a witch's hat (feather). That gives it a plausible reason for them to be flying and falling etc.

• Read Chapters 8-10 in Animation: The Whole Story. Post a response to your blog. 

I keep forgetting to blog about the book. Its really interesting and informative. I'll dedicate a longer blog response to the book over the weekend

• Do some research into storyboards and Animatics. Post an image of a storyboard you found on line onto your blog. Post a link to a web resource or video of an Animatic to the What is an Animatic Discussion 

I have not posted in the discussion yet, but I'll stick stuff here so I can get back to it.



Alright this link is awesome. Its got a bunch of samples for story boards for stuff like The Avenegrs, Hellboy 2, Starwars, Batman, X-Men etc In a bunch of different styles and techniques.

I had a much harder time finding animatics. But this Batman one is really cool. Its not an official video or anything, just a personal project some one made but its really pretty amazing.

Also here is a cool website with a lot of animatics for commercials which is neat to look at
