The bouncing ball with obstacle was a great first project which started getting me used to flash and excited for animation class. The obstacle I chose was the factory from the album cover of Pink Floyd's "Animals", and for the bouncing ball, I struggled at first with the size changing throughout the animation, but took on the challenge and found some solutions to work through it.
For the walk cycle project, I used the character Samus from the video game trilogy "Metroid Prime". Her suit has many different parts and joints, thus I had to create many different symbols to create the puppet rig. I began with some rough sketches of the character; once I made the sketches, I was able to color it in and start rigging the puppet. Samus is on a mission in this walk; her fist is tense and despite the wintry cold surrounding her, she is keeping a consistent and focused pace to show her determination. I created the Samus puppet rig in Adobe Animate, along with the backdrop. I added the snow in Adobe After Effects to add to the frosty planet setting. I then did some compositing in After Effects; I imported the backdrop as an image and added key frames to change the position to make the background move instead of Samus, but creating the allusion that Samus is walking across the bridge. I had to add the snow, too, since I just love the loo...
