Animation 05: Halloween

In today's lesson we had to use all of the animation principles that we have learnt so far to create a short Halloween themed animation.

These principles include:

Arcs

 I used arcs in the movement of the ghost, as it floats up and down

Weight

I used the weight principle in the movement of the door as it opens and closes

Squash & Stretch

I used the squash & stretch principle when the ghost bounces off the floor before it floats back towards the door again

Timing and Spacing

I used the timing and spacing principle to make the lights on the sign flick on and off. 

Layers and depth in the environment

I created a layered background for my animation, and I also created depth by making the ghost come towards you as it comes out of the door by slightly increasing the size of the ghost in every frame as it moves.
