Design Practice: ::: Swing-Trapeze development :::

As part of the animation sequences I planned to have an inverted part, as the whole thing way based on a black background, I wanted to really play around and experiement with the white one. I used scanned textures and hand drawn elements which I re-arranged. I wanted it to be a very vauge representation of the air and flying which is why I used the cloudy shapes moving along, to go well with the trapeze act.

The assets that I had previously worked on for the swing sequence I decided to move onto this part instead and produce a new setting and feel to it as oppsed to white sihoettes on a black background. This was the simplest section to animate which is why I decided to work on a little longer and make a bit different from the others, just to break the sequence a bit and propose something original and a bit different to keep the audiences engaged.

I played around with the speed and assets to make them work together. I really spent a lot of time looking and trying to produce an effect and communicate the emotion and adreneline felt when bienging on a hight swing. I used the ease in ease out and speeding controls to obtain this/ I think thetype on this one is comming in too fast and I want it to really have an impact on the feeling I am trying to communicate. And its not working in this first example.

I produced all the assets for this sequence in different layers sepearating joint on characters and the rope on the swing, just so I can be in more control when animating and it did indeed work well and better as it allowed me to come again use the parenting trick to move the main elemts with the small movements of the legs for example which made a huge difference.
