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

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.
