This week we had our very first animation lesson while at Derby University. We were first given an introduction to the animation side of the software Maya. I found this very helpful as I had used Maya for aniamtion in the past while at college. We got as far as learning about all the many effects you can create and even animating a fully rigged human body, which the animation had to last around 10 seconds. However that was a year ago and I was very greatful that Sam our teacher showed us the basics before getting a head of ourselves.
Once we had been shown the software before starting work, we had a task where we had to do a bit of research. In groups we were given balls for example footballs, tennis balls etc. Then in groups we had to count how many bounces it did, one had to time how long it took and the other video it for reference. I was given the task of videoing the bounces, which I did on my Iphone and then I edited it on I Movie and finally published on my YouTube account. Here's the link below.
Once we had our results, we finally got to start animating.
