Tasks


Progress 1 - Walk Cycle

For the first progress, with the character design and all, we needed to make a walk cycle animation for the character. Mr Kamal has talked through the program of adobe animate and it helped us understand what we were meant to do. 

He then showed us how to do a walk cycle animation by drawing out the frames where there will be change of motion, and we needed to draw the in-betweens to make it an actual walking character. 

I sketched the skeleton model with different colors for left and right to differentiate easily between them, and started to draw in my character. 

It was quite okay for the most part but the coloring was a very tedious process. 

I eventually finished it, and I decided to make it move across the screen so I made it walk along the floor that was horizontally placed across the screen.


Progress 2 - Jump Cycle

As for the second progression, I made sure to learn the mistakes of the first progression and made sure to do some things better. I sketched in the skeleton model with the different colors, then added in my character.

I noticed that the first walk cycle was very stutter-y and not very smooth. So I decided to add in ones to make it smooth as my character is about to land. Also, because my character is wearing a cape..? I made sure to make it flap as it is being hit by the wind as he lands.

I made the sketches cleaner then added in the colors. When exporting, I decided to show the progress of the steps so it will have a clearer visualization of what was done. 



Reflections


Experience

The exercises helped me understand
 a lot about the software, 'adobe animate' and the simple fundamentals and the basics that are needed to when it is used to animate things. But I really liked the practical exercise where I could make simple altercations to make things a bit more visually appealing.

Observations

I found that I was making more animation on ones and not on twos and that really made more progress to be completed  and I was not really doing in bet
