For Week 2 I animated a bird drinking from the fountain and flying away.
The Arc
The Animation (without audio)
Shane Feedback 22/10/2020:
Landing appears soft and needs more impact, increasing the landing speed or adding follow through will fix this.
The timing throughout the animation seems very similar, so try and vary this next time.
Add more contrast between the front and back wing.
Impact Improvement
After adding follow through to the animation and getting increasingly frustrated with trying to get it right, I came to the conclusion that the impact made the bird appear less delicate and less elegant.
I want the bird to appear light and keeping it smooth was what I wanted, and making the landing more exaggerated didn't do this.
The Improved Animation (without audio)
Sound
The sounds I collected were all through 'Sound Snap'. Below are the sounds I gathered:
After adding the audio to the animation, I then used the mixer to blend the audio into the animation better.
For the fountain and birds, I leaned them into different areas on the screen to make the animation audio appear more realistic.
