Hi I am new to this forum and new to animation.
I've always wanted to work in the animation business and I finally started to actually learn animating. so last week I began with the bouncing ball exercise and I am doing all kinds of exercises.
I hope to find here new friends and fellow enthusiasts who can help me reach my goal.
I'll post all my exercises here and maybe one day I can look back on this and see any progress.
some flour sack animation exercises. I am having great difficulties with the timing and spacing.
oh and here's my blog:
It is clear that you have some major skills in animation.
well that is very nice of you, thank you. I just hope that I'll keep working on it.

Great work, I do have one question. Why did you give him a rubbery face?
thank you and yeah I know I went way overboard with the rubber face. I'll change that too.

I've been working on my anatomy skills lately, but I've decided to do a daily animation quickie with short exercises.

Can you give us a hint as to what major project you might be working on or will be working on?
well I want to make a short film of a fairytale for my little nephew. he's very young, so I keep it simple, slow and peaceful. I have the storyboard finished and I am working on a 3D background (huge meadow field) for a single scene. perhaps I went a little bit overboard with whole concept. the film's about a bear with her cub spending a day on a meadow.
deadline's early April.
I decided to go further with this bowing king. Didn't have a clue why a King would bow to anyone, but here's my idea: a peasant tells a story in Tavern, how he managed the King to bow before him.

I just went to the "11secondclub" site to hear the sound file and you wip was running. It was a big fluke that the sound file ran in syc with your gif. Your gif was spot on. I am going to renew my menbership to vote for your piece.
haha that is awfully nice of you, thank you :) - now I really have to finish the piece.
