This is a run cycle animation to showcase my understanding of the 12 principles of animation. I used a rigged character from Animate School to make this piece of work. Run cycle is a basic but difficult motion to make for me, every time I tried to make a running animation, I learned something new from it. 

A throwing ball animation to practice the connection of two objects which is the character and the ball. This also reviewed how the character center of gravity changes when having a fast motion. I spent a lot of time adjusting the key poses of the character in this animation because the body of the character is twisted a lot during this action.

This lifting animation aims to train the ability to show how heavy an object is without facial expression. I need to find a lot of references to observe how people struggle with a heavy object like how their legs move, how their bodies support the action, and how they find relief after they release the object.

This is a practice animation to showcase the ability of mouth syncs. The process of mouth sync is a little different than normal action. People need to make the mouth shape first then pronounce it out. So, I will need to separate the time I heard the sound from the motion.

This one is for training my sense of the character’s reaction when having dialogue. When one character is talking, the other character should have some living motions without taking over the focus on the talking one. It is also required to consider how their eye should move in their conversation. I tried to play with the lighting in this scene to restore the bar environment.
