Dropped water filled balloon animation:

Final Boudicca Animation For my final outcome, I've created a 10 second animated that has sound. I've added a rustling sound to suggest how Boudicca's clothes make a slight sound when she moves. Also, I've added a crunching sound for when Boudicca and her adopted mother walk over grass. I think these sounds are effective as they have added further uses of texture to my animation. However, I do believe that my final animation could of been improved even further by adding sounds when there is close up of Boudicca's face. Also, I could of added some music in the background that links to their time period.
Propellant Balloon Animation: For this task, I've used some post it notes to create a short animation that shows a propellant balloon. Before animating, I've made live action video that I could use as referencing. I think this animation is successful because I've presented the unpredictable movement of the balloon. Also, to show how the air is leaving the balloon, I've altered it's proportions and added linework. To improve this animation, I believe that I could of applied more detail to the balloon. Such as applying mark making or tone.
Walk Cycle: I've continued with the walk cycle task by creating this animation which shows my monster character walking across the screen. I believe that my animation is successful because I've applied the uses of squash and stretch to the monster's arms and legs. Another principle that is shown within this animation is Secondary Action. This can be seen by how the monsters hair is moving as he walks. To add some more realism to this cartoon character, I've made him blink. I like how this animation has turned out because I think the line work is consistent. I think this animation could be improved even further by adding a background. This background would have to be moved slightly within each frame to create the illusion of the character walking through an environment.
I've continued to develop my final outcome by creating a sketched animation that shows Boudicca and her adopted mother walking to her new home. At this stage, the animation has been lightly sketched out because I've focused on making these two characters become smaller as they walk away. So far, I do believe that this animation is successful because I've thought about proportion and realism. To improve this animation, I need to add more detail to the clothing and to the roundhouses roof. By adding this detail, I will be applying the uses of pattern and texture. Also, I need to improve this animation by starting to animate the movement of their legs and feet. I'm going to use my previous walk cycle work as a guidance when doing this.
