Weight Assignment

 This project was definitely the longest project to animate by far. I needed to record a video of myself to use as a reference, so having a reference made the process much easier. I was extremely nit-picky with volume control and keeping the lines clean, and looking back at the finished product, I can definitely see where timing could be improved. But overall, I'm kind of happy with how this came out due to how long it took to make it hehe

Pendulum and Overlapping Action

For this project, we were required to animate an object to swing or move like a pendulum (with a secondary action). The first idea I had was to animate one of my original characters reaching into his pocket and taking out a pocket watch, so I went with that idea. Unfortunately I ran out of time and was unable to incorporate a shot of him reaching into his pocket, however I still was able to animate him extending his arm (and the pocket watch swinging from the motion). The folds on the clothing was definitely the most time consuming part, but the pendulum motion was rather easy as I have prior experience with pendulum motions from my prior "Beginning Animation" class (where I animated a pendulum using motion graphics in after effects).

Prior experience and Aspirations

To whoever is reading this, once again, thank you for reading my blog. My name is Trinity Manugas and I'm extremely excited for this upcoming semester, as I'm finally going to dwell into animation (using Toon Boom). In my other courses, I'm going to dwell into digital modeling (in Maya) and storyboarding, however this blog will mostly cover my progress with animation (I'm sure I'll include some of my other projects if I'm proud of them though). When it comes to animation, I'm a complete beginner. The only sort of experience I have with animation would be animating vector images, very basic puppet animation in after effects, as well as basic motion graphic animations using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects (thanks to Professor Corrigan for teaching me these skills in a prior Beginning Animation course I took last year).  In my 2D animation course, I'm mostly excited about character animation. As someone who loves creating her own stories and...
