HUM 203: The World in Motion, Animation in Theory and Practice

Assignment 1

Assignment 2

Final project

My animation embodies my favorite animal, the cheetah. I used photoshop to complete my piece, and animate the cheetah in its hunt. My finished product needed research and knowledge to be able to create, which makes the animation representative of reality.

I found certain parts to be more difficult and so the animation isn’t as long as I intended, however I feel as though the purpose and theme of the animation were still conveyed as I hoped for. Creating the animal itself and each of the movements provided to be a considerably time consuming task, especially because of the intensity of the speed of the cheetah and its prey, the antelope.

I enjoyed creating my animation because I have feelings toward the subject. I wish to look back upon this someday and still know what I wanted to convey with my animation. The multiple but still related themes of the class helped go give me a still broad enough plain of ideas so that I could really expand the idea of the animation and the specifics that were shown or left for interpretation.
