Character Animation

FARM FABULOUS!


In my apartment I didn't really have much to work with, so I decided to take a trip to Grandma's house to look in our old toyboxes. Much to my dismay, I found that my little cousin had picked through most of the good stuff and went home with them. I did manage to find some farm toys though. I used SAM animation again and arranged my characters in the spots I wanted. I was blown away by how much time it took to make just 7 seconds of work. When I had 7 seconds, I decided to add more by having a frog slide by with a "The End" sign and have the animals follow after. I really decided to take my time with each movement and I think it paid off. I think I could of made it easier on myself if I chose fewer characters to have to move around, but it looks good with so many! I realize that I didn't have very flexible characters, but I tried to make them look as flexible as possible. I came away with 76 frames. I made several attempts to export my video and always had the dismay of having it cut off by youtube. I went into Facebook and found I could embed from there and I hope it works! Enjoy!

PS I have given the link to my youtube one just in case this one does not work for you:
