Flash-Animation(WIP)

Look Up – by David Phillips (click to view)
Temporary Music by Kirk Withrow

Notes: This is definitely a work in progress.  I have several scenes that I had to pull in order to make the deadline.  If we get a chance for a midterm to improve our animation, I certainly will.  Wednesday, I should be learning how to get the legs to move.

Scenes still to be included:

Balloon scene: A balloon vendor walks by and he buys all the balloons, but only reaches the atmosphere and gets stuck.  Balloons pop.
3rd Attempt: Grabbing the leg of a taller person, getting kicked off.
Realization: he looks at the string on the ground and discovers math.
Spinning the rocketship around the 2nd world.
Final Moment.

Phatekinetascope

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I attempted to create a phate…phenakistescope(I just spent 10 minutes just trying to find the correct spelling), but not to any satisfactory level.  A phenakistescope is a spinning wheels with interval slits for the user to look through and see the reflection of the wheel in the mirror.  The issue that I ran into was inspiration.  There were no stories I could create with only 12-16 frames in mind and could be created in a week.  There are some brilliant pieces that tier the image into three different sections, thereby creating a 36-48 frames to play with.  I eventually settled on a baby’s head that turned into a bowling ball.  Here is the work in progress.  If I have time, I will go back and redraw it, give it a proper cardboard backing and ink the image to improve the contrast.
