Save the Cold Bunnies

Unless of course they like playing in the snow… Then let your bunnies play in the snow. The point is that you should keep your pet rabbits happy. Anyway, this is an easy tween animation done in class using the Photoshop Timeline. I got the photo from the morgue file online when I was attempting to find awkward family christmas photos. Maybe the rabbit's name is Awkward? Who knows. I tried to make it dramatic. Feel the snow.

But What If...

This animation is a frame by frame photo recording of a flip book we made in our animation class. I have no idea what I was thinking when I came up with this, but I like the result I could have tried harder to make it loop perfectly, but there is a jump from the last and first frames that is noticeable. I also should have improved the contrast and lighting, but I ran out of time in class. Overall, despite the flaws, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.

Ball Bounce Animation

This assignment didn't turn out how I wish it would have but it isn't as bad as it could be…  The "bouncing ball" ended up looking more like a squishy jumping potato but now I know how to make the next animation I do better than this one.

Button Animation

I worked with Celeste to create a gif displaying a button bouncing across the page. The first try, I accidentally messed up the focus, so I had to reshoot everything with the correct settings. In photoshop, I changed the brightness and the contrast to make a more visually appealing display. I feel like our frames turned out relatively smooth and the image is clear. I wish we could have got it right on the first time, but next time we can do it right.

New to Animation

Hello, my name is Jeiah. My favorite aspects of Graphic Design and animation is the ability to bring a character or idea to life through visual representation. In the past, I've really enjoyed creating my own original designs, such as the "Crazy Character" project we did last year in beginning Graphic Design. I made a flying dragon out of an assortment of images of different tools. I've been inspired by too many things to name, especially varying character designs in shows, visual novels, video games, and other blogs/websites. I hope to be able  to bring my own characters to life through animations and sketches throughout this year.
