Timing with an Animated Asterisk

My second pencil test exercise for UCLA’s 181A class, Animation Design in Film and Television. This exercise focused on the following:

  • animating an asterisk on twos to create a particular rhythm
  • using a 12 frame hold (traceback)
  • exposure sheet and layout

    • Below is the layout drawing. This is from Fall Quarter, 2006.

    Bouncing Ball Pencil Test

    This was my pencil test for UCLA’s 181A class, Animation Design in Film and Television. This was the first exercise for the lab portion of the class and the assignment required the following:

  • a layout drawing
  • 24 sequential drawings within 12FC
  • a ball that bounces and turns into a square
  • squash and stretch
  • animation on twos

    • I edited the original excercise so that it is mostly on twos, with a few ones and a three. Below is the layout. This is from Fall Quarter 2006.

    Europe to UCLA

    Since my last post over a year ago, a lot has happened. The most significant events were last summer’s nine-week trip in Europe and our subsequent move to Los Angeles.

    I was accepted at UCLA for the Fall of 2006 and am currently working on my MFA in animation. This blog will hopefully record my time at UCLA within the MFA animation program.

    Below are a few of my favorite photos from last summer’s trip.
