Choose your own Adventure
For this assignment, we could do anything we wanted using skills or websites we learned about in this class. I animated four hip hop/breakdancers, and put them together to music on WeVideo. (The clips repeat over and over again because they are so short. Animation takes a long time...like, it took me six hours to do all this! Draw, clean up, color, repeat...) I used a computer animation program called Toon Boom Harmony Essentials to make this video.
The image below is a screen shot of Toon Boom while I was animating one of the dancers. You can see that there are two layers, The drawing and the background, and I have onion skin on so you can see two frames before and two frames after the frame I'm on.
I used a Wacom Tablet to draw on the computer, making the clean up a lot easier.
