Body Language and Facial Expression Tasks

Facial Expression Exercise from Mark Jackson on Vimeo.

I plan to push this animation further as my tutor there needed to be more anticipation to prepare the audience for the punch and to make it clearer that it is set in an elevator.

The basic premise of the story is my main character tentatively known as 'chip', is trying to eat his lunch but the phone keeps going off.This is an early version as there are still timing issues.

LAS Week 6- Snakes, Fishes, Birds and Sinisoidal Waves... Oh My!

Untitled from Mark Jackson on Vimeo.

This week at LAS our task was to complete an animation of a fish, bird or a snake. To help us create our animations we visited the aquarium to look at fish and sinusoidal waves! A sinisoidal wave passes down the horizontal plane of a fish and passes down from head to tail. The fish in the animation above is a Racoon Butterfly Fish

I also animated a snake, snakes tend to move in a wave like motion and follow a smooth path along the ground.
I think my snake moves more like a snake on a scalextric track so look out for a new one soon!
