ruhani:

We had our first animation class on September 6th.

We didn’t do much, we went through basic stuff like “what does animation mean? what do we use animation for? what kind of different animation techniques are there?” etc. Then we got to try to make a 1 second long animation each, using traditional light tables. It was nice.

Usually people use 24 frames per second when animating. But we only got 5-10 papers to work on. This animation was 9 frames. Eight of them being the owl itself, and one being the background. I had to slow the animation down to 2 seconds, because 1 second just went too fast and you barely see what’s going on. :B

I drew an owl because I miss Annie and because I found it a bit ironic and funny for an owl to be sleepy at night time, since it’s usually known to stay awake during the night.
