Timing and Spacing Reel



There are two very basic fundamentals of animating. The first is timing, timing is how long it takes for the action that is being animated to get from the start frame to end frame. If you can master this you will be able to create animations that occur over an amount of time that is relative to real life making your animations look like reality to the viewer. However, without good spacing it will not look real. This is because spacing is the location of the object at each individual frame. This is what allows for easing in and out as well as movements that appear realistic when it comes to friction, inertia, gravity, and other forms of resistance or assistance of motion. When both timing and spacing are put together in an effective manner you are able to create realistic like motion. Once you know how to create realistic motion you then are able to exaggerate certain movements to create a cartoon-like effects. This is why timing and spacing are extremely crucial to create animation that is pleasing to the eye.

Film Score Investigation

Why Music? Music is an essential part of film. It can be used to set the tone for a scene or to drive the action. When used correctly in conjunction with visuals, music can transform the emotional experience of a film. Some of the most memorable moments of a film are because of the score. Film scores can be used to build tension, fear, or any emotion. For this investigation I will be learning about how to create a film score. The Psychological Effect of Music In Film 1 during our study of film history we discussed what is known as the Kuleshov effect. The Kuleshov effect is an analysis of how the audiences interpretation of an image changes in relation to the next image. So if you have a man with a neutral face and you cut to a hamburger and back to the man he looks hungry. Similarly, music creates a tone for the visuals presented to the audience. This tone is what allows the audience to understand the emotions they are intended to be feeling while viewing the film. A grea...

Final Robot Animation

This project was an incredible learning experience that is applicable for both film and animation. What I learned was that goals must remain relevant to the task being performed at hand. The hardest part of this project was creating the concept that I had produced in pre production. The idea and goals that I created for myself in pre production were simply not possible with the time I allowed myself to accomplish them. The worst part about this predicament is that it forces you to decide what corners need to be cut in production to meet the deadline. The painful part is choosing the right corners to cut which allow the story to retain most of its original form. I ended up having to cut out the entire planned ending and shorten the film, completely altering the overall meaning. Next time I will use this information to better judge the time required to accomplish certain tasks. However, I did have a few successes though. These include, lighting large areas in pleasing and understandabl...
