The first project to we where a sighed to us was a pantomime project where we choose a scenario to animate and evaluate and synthesize the scene into an interesting and entertaining animation. The scenario that I choose for the project was "Stepping in something gross". The first process that I went though was pre-pro where I created exploratory thumbnail sketches, storyboards, and a backstory for the character. 

 I started with explanatory thumbnails, and proceeded with the process of figuring out what camera angle I'll be using for my final piece. I started studying with storytelling poses to figure out which poses will be the best to tell the story of my project scenario that I've chosen. The bottom of my thumbnails is my strong pose, which will help me get a good idea of what my key poses should be in my animation.

 The next step in my pre-Pro is my action breakdowns, correlating to different actions that will be seen in the animation. The first one is the discovery where the character walks and steps in poop and acknowledges that he has stepped in it. The next action breakdown is where he reacts to what he's just stepped in, which in the scene is the strongest of the actual breakdowns. And the final action breakdown is with the character fainting from his discovery from him stepping in the poop.

 The final step to my pre-pro is the storyboard, where I actually draw out the scene of what exactly will be happening throughout the animation to give me a better guideline of where the story is actually going. Later on in the animation that I worked on in my character animation to class you can see that it is very close to the original storyboard but obviously there's always room for changes in an animation.

This month I toke  Character animation 2 (or CAN2 for short). This month was my favorite because I was born to animate, I felt real proud of the work that I produced while taking the class and doing visual reference that i did for the animations. Above are the projects form the class.
