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.

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...

Year End Summary

Favorite Part of Class My favorite part of class was being able to work independently. Having the freedom to work at my own pace was a breath of fresh air. Also what I enjoyed a lot was being able to help with other groups shoots. Before we would only shoot in our own groups, but with the freedom to shoot outside of class it became a lot easier. Seeing how other people performed their tasks and managed their crew was also an interesting and insightful experience. What I Learned the Most I've learned the most about how to deal with people on a set. Being outside of school completely changes the dynamic and it really shows you who is a hard worker and who isn't. Being able to pick and choose who I worked with is great, but it is important to know how to work with people you wouldn't want to work with. It is a key role of the director to keep everyone motivated on the shoot. This is essential because if no one is trying than you aren't going to have a good movie. It t...
