Production Diary 5 - Waiting Animations

Tick Tock

I had an idea to upload animation exercises while working on new content. I finished them quickly, but I didn’t feel it was right to upload them. I want my socials to have an incident/story structure, and I think this type of behind the scenes content is better for the website.

I think it’s from my time in college, where I looked at my socials as portfolio showcases, as opposed to just a file dump. Either way, here’s what I worked on.

When animating for my library, I create a basic pose for each angle of the turnaround, allowing me to easily stage the puppets for short films. Overall, I liked these movements, though some movement feels clunky.

I used a background from an unreleased short because I liked it and wanted to use it again. I realized these exercises won’t work as uploads, but I have other ways to reuse some of these assets.
