Yihui's 2D Animation!

Yeah! and here is another video:)

This is my animation reel for my Basics of Drawn Animation class ... yes! it's all drawn almost frame by frame ... that means usually about 12 images for 1 sec worth of animation ... haha but the hardest part is how to visualise the action and thinking about the flow of action and the spacing between drawings and blah blah ... I usually draw until I feel like giving up  but when you see your drawings moving you feel inspired all over again and the cycle repeats ... haha ... my classmates say I have some characteristic style in both my 2D and 3D works that is funny in a weird way :x haha
Yup if you are wondering why are we still drawing by hand when all the 2D animations you see now are done on the computer ... this is actually the first step (which we call line test) ... after passing this step then we can go on to adding more and more details and then scanning these images to add colour on the comp ...
ok enough blah blah (my prof's favorite phrase) ... Enjoy!
and same thing ... watch it on the youtube page for the supposedly high quality option:)






ps: The whole animation by right is supposed to be a bit slower ... but I had some problems with the frame rate :x
