Sketchbook #6: Elle Attinella
For my animation I want to attempt to work with form. I'm worried it might look too choppy, but hopefully it will work. I kind of want to work with timing, and have a minor shock factor at the end. Maybe I will have organic blobs arbitrarily moving in space, creating curiosity, and maybe at the end one of them eats the other. Something simple like that. I'm curious to see how form will work, as it might not...
Yyou may have seen this video.... It is an example of how having the ability to make animations or moving images can be a really useful skill. The moving images in this video are pretty simple, and one can see how erasing and adding lines can create a sense of movement. The arbitrary shapes are relatable to what I want to try with my animation...
also, i feel it is necesary to pay respects. According to my film class last semester, this was the first animator in film. that is a big statement i know, if anyone knows otherwise let m know. i guess i see on a comment that emily cohl may have been the first in 1908. either way herre is Winsor McCay's, 'Little Nemo' from 1911. I think it is interesting the animation is described as a moving comic. Makes sense.
Comments
I like in the first video how they combined animation with 'normal'(?) video. That would be so interesting to try to do, but probably way over my head at this point.

what an ill-behaved dinosaur. Thanks for posting this. It's a great example for our purposes.
Can you post some sketches so we get a better idea of what you are intending to do?
