pond bank ripples

 

Pond bank with animated still of ripples using the scribble-cel technique. This one took me longer than usual as I'm not too confident with backgrounds and I found myself caught up and frustrated over this. Unfortunately, I spent most of my week sketching compositions and layouts to suit the animation. But, I feel I've settled on a simpler background to suit my animation, which may help similar tasks in the future. The scribble-cel technique taught me a little more about how to make use of masks in animation, as opposed to just in colour and treatment.

First exercise: cross section of a single ripple with accompanying secondary ripple

juggling balls

Simple exercise continued from this week's gravity assignment to exercise timing and drop rate.

candle ribbon smoke

Smoke seperate, the shadow effect layer also generated a shadow applied to second layer.Smoke layer merged as suggested by another member of Bitey.Single ribbon of smoke trailed in with a thin wisp in reflection upon feedback.

ribbon smoke inbetween

 

I keyed and inbetween a looping smoke ribbon with some slight additional treatment this time. I added a subtle north direction blur to my node tree and found that isolating treatment layers can help with organisation and clarity when applying the effects. Next time I will animate the inbetween with additional attention to equality in timing for a smoother, more consistent flow.
