I decided to redo my Flour Sack Hula Hooping exercise over again. With this attempt, I drew out an arc for my hula hoop to follow, so the movement is more fluid.

I think the movement of the sack itself is much better and looks a lot less stiff, however, the hoop looks a little stiff now...

For this week's Stop Motion Animation task, we were asked to animate a puppet touching it's toes, then standing up again! Below you can see my third attempt:

Although this was difficult, I enjoyed this task, working with the puppets is a very interesting experience!

This is a slightly modified attempt of my Flour Sack hula hooping animation. I tried to make the top half less stiff. However I think I will start this task from the beginning again, in order to add in inbetweening and make the movement a lot better.

During some of my free time, I attempted to animate one of my characters waving his hand! (Just to get in some more TV Paint practice)

I think the wave itself looks alright, but the transition in facial expressions could be a little more fluid, as could the movement of the hand up and down.

Here is my finished attempt of the Flour Sack jumping over an obstacle. After receiving some feedback from my lecturer, I removed a few frames in the anticipation period just before the jump, to make the transition from crouching to the jump seem faster. 

Here's another attempt at one of our 3D Animation tasks! This time I tried to animate Monty looking sad whilst he was walking. 

I attempted to convey the feeling of sadness by making him constantly look down, as well as walking much more slowly and dragging his feet (although if I'm honest, at the moment it looks a bit like he's sliding)

For our Stop Motion Task last week, we were asked to animate a puppet turning it's head! 

Below you can see my fifth attempt.

Although this was pretty tricky to do, I actually enjoyed this a lot! Working with the puppets was really interesting!
