Stop Motion Animation of Falling

For my animation,  didn't really have any idea as to what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to use a circular object and contemplated using magnets but I didn't have a steady camera or tripod. I decided to use the animation lab we had available in the art building and used the flipbook program that was already installed in the computers. From there I just used an empty tape holder to create the initial fall. I used tape to mark out a "floor" and made a light pencil line to make sure that my object was falling straight. After that I was going through the frames to adjust timing. While I was doing that I started getting an idea for more and simply marked out areas outside of the cameras view and kind of "winged it" from there.

Hw #5:Video analysis of path of action

1st image is a screenshot of my most centered jumped.

Then the original reference with 5 jumps.

After doing this assignment, I have concluded: I can not jump.


p.s. I was unable to save the single clip in tracker, it could not "encode" as a .mov or .mp4. I got it saved as a .gif but the .gif refuses to load onto the blog.
Therefore, I do not have it.
