Adaption & Re-adaption group work

For this project, we had to get into small groups (ours was made up of Joe, Laura and George) and had to adapt an existing text out of the choices of poetry we were given.
Our choice was ‘Streets of Desire 4′ which was about a metaphorical woman running through a down, indicating the dreams people had of making a perfect town. Here was our finished storyboard; the second to fifth panels on the third row were by me.

For the next half of this project we had to take another group’s storyboard and improve on it by using different styles and the suggestions they were given. We discussed which to choose, and we chose ‘The Star and Chain’, a story about a child finding something a father lost a long time ago. We all discussed how we were going to do the various shots and then, chose who would do what element of the storyboard. I helped draw some of the additions to the photographs on certain shots such as in the antique store or on the stairs.
Here is our group’s final storyboard in order;

I think Edd is a pretty cool guy, eh makes blogs and doesn’t afraid of anything

Hello and welcome to my new fancy animation blog, featuring news and clips of animation stuff im doing at university!
So here is the first four videos, all of which are traditional animation tests;

Boxing glove test with anticipation and overlapping, the first attempt at this did not have enough overlapping so this is my improved version.

Tap dripping test with the droplet lingering in the tap before it falls, again my original attempt at this had the drop falling too fast without the lingering, so i returned to the test and added more frames and repeated them.

Upside down heavy box falling test, not very pleased with how this one came out because it looks more like a block of jelly falling than a heavy box, and it’s upside down.

Finally, this is a test where we had to use at least three different shots/angles with a simple background and characters.
