2 New Animation Tests

So, I've been sick recently. Probably the flu. The kind of sick where you stay in bed for a week, only dragging yourself up for the barest necessities. Unfortunately, I was sick when I had final projects to work on. I missed a couple really important classes, fell short on a project I all but abandoned, and didn't get into the studio at all. What I did do, however, was make a short 2 dimensional animation using a graphic tablet and GIMP. It's very short. I use iMovie to add sound to my animations, and I've found that it lowers the quality of the images, so I need something else to use. But this is a test, so I'm ok with it.

I did it from my bed on my laptop in short spurts of energy before I got delerious and went back to sleep.

Today, I did another little animation, now that I'm feeling better. It's my first time lapse video and the first animation I did with my new Canon Rebel connected to an intervalometer. It's not impressive but it's kinda cool. I decided to let myself be in the picture, because the outdoor long term project I want to do, I will be in the picture. Kind of like a puppeteer, only in an animation. I hope that while the puppet will move smoothly, I will pop in and out and jerk around. Maybe I'll be in black so I'm more of a shadow. That would be kind of cool. Anyway here it is. Enjoy!
