At the end of the week our 2D module had finally began with Matthew Gravelle. Overall it was just a 'this is what you are gonna be doing' lesson, so we were given our semester planner and basically roughly going over it.
It felt good to be finally starting back on 2D again, I didnt really do any 2D animation over the summer so was afriad I'd be a little rusty after so long. But after looking at the plan I was more excited than nervous, I was espcially looking forward to the dialogue between two characters. Never animated two characters interecting before. Also am looking forward to a character going from one extreme emotion to another, I really want to do a medium close up of the face and really mess with facial emotions, most probably looking at Jim Carrey for reference.
For some reason I totally didn't think about what character I would use until we were given our first assignment. I just decided to re-design my last years character Alix, making her a bit older and different hair, it was a pain to animated each strand of her spiky hair.
After we were with Matt we had a little introduction to scanning our frames to photoshop with Stan and how to work the 'actions' tool, which will most probably save hours. Very very helpful.
