This is my third assignment for Animation I. The first assignment was the classic bouncing ball (squash and stretch), the second tension/anticipation. This third one is Metamorphosis. Basically the idea was to morph between three forms in a cycle, so form 3 had to turn back into form 1. I wanted to try and work with induced motion a bit, as well as anticipation and squash and stretch. 3 concepts rolled into one :) So I drew Kenshin (from Rurouni Kenshin) jumping from a roof (anticipation), turning into a dragon, which then becomes this weird bunny thing that bounces (squash and stretch) and turns back into Kenshin. It's surprisingly hard to get a character to jump off something convincingly, and he still doesn't land back on the roof the way I want. *sigh* Basically I needed another second of animation, but we were limited to 72 frames (3 seconds) so that was a no-go. Oh well. I'm still quite proud of this, and I learned a lot about how to use the Opus pencil-test program, so it's all good ^_^
