FMX 238 - Libby Divers

       For this assignment, we were required to animate a head turn that involves the neck and shoulders of a character that we created. The character could either be an original, one that already exists, an animal, a sketch, or realistic- whatever we wanted. The action was required to be dramatic enough to make the movement clear, and timing, space, and other animation elements were taken into consideration.        For my head turn, I chose to do a girl turning her head and taking a slight turn with her body. She turns her head and shifts her shoulders while she moves. The character turns her head, blinks her eyes, and finishes the turn, turning her expression from a frown to a smile. I also made sure to have the character's hair follow the movement to make the action dramatic enough to show how much force she turns her head with. 

       For this assignment, we were required to create an animation of a flour sack character performing an action. The action could be anything we wanted, but it just had to start and end in the animation. We were allowed to do a sketch or a full character and a line to symbolize the ground or a full background.        I chose to create a flour sack jumping across the screen. The character winds up, then jumps, and finishes the action with a little hop at the end to finish out the momentum going forward. Although the character doesn't have a face, the emotion is shown through his/her arms/ears moving with the action.
