Pose to Pose Pendulum

For our last explore brief we had to do a small project on pose to pose animation. This is when you draw the key frames first, and then do the in between frames afterwards. This process is more thoughtful, and you are able to see where you started and where you are aiming to go with the animation. For this brief, we were to do a pose to pose animation of a pendulum.

For this brief, it was a lot more easier to be accurate with the animation. For example when doing a flip book I often found my ball jumped all over the place or changed size drastically, where as with pose to pose, it is a lot more easier to track how your animation is developing. 

Timing was a big factor in this brief, and I found planning it out beforehand help a whole lot. For example as the pendulum drops, I added more frames to make the action slower, and then as it swings down, less frames to craft a faster and smoother movement. In the end I think I did fairly alright on this brief and I enjoyed doing it also!
