Pose to Pose: Pendulum

In Monday's lesson we explored the final process of our explore brief,  pose to pose animation. This is when the key frames of the animation are planned out and drawn before anything else and then the in-betweens are put in afterwards. In order to experiment with this process we were told to animate a pendulum.

Personally I found this animation process a lot easier than straight ahead animation as I found that my spacing and timing were off when I was creating my flip books. I found that by planning out the key frames and filling in the in-betweens afterwards I was to create a smoother, better timed animated sequence. Plus, truthfully, I enjoyed planning out the animation just as much as I did creating it and watching it come to life.
