Slide test

This was another quick test to see the timing and how this little set up might work. Its very crude and without any of the little touches applied to the animation.

In reality it would be very difficult to set this up without it falling down all the time however I think it still works effectivly and I might just incorportate this colapsing afterwards.

I made three books in different sizes and also created a mini domino effect set up using pencils, balls and rulers.

I like how its set up using objects from my room and how it seems to be makeshift. This is something I shall continue in exploring my desk theme for this animation.

Lid Test

After making the bin I began thinking about how it would animate so I decided to make a quick test showing the lid flipping.

Continuing my modelling I made my bin and my pencil jar applying the same techniques as before.

For the pencils I creatd long thin cylinders and reduced the amount of sides on it to create that pentagonol shape. I then extruded the end into a point.

The next item was a small drum I had in my room.

Again I created this from a cylinder and used the extrude tool to make the hourglass shape in the middle.

Modelling

After looking at the research videos I decided to choose objects around my room to start modelling with. I took several photographs to use as reference and then went about recreating them in CG.

The first item I tried my hand at was the spray can.

I made this model by creating simple cylinder shapes and applying the boleon effect on the nossle. I then made three different sized ringsand positioned them at the top, bottom and neck of the can.

Domino Test

This was a quick test I made at animating a Domino effect. Its quite straightforward with the general knock on effect being easy to animate and is quite effective.
