Day 5 – Awkward Dance

by //

We’ve all been there the painfully common sidewalk waltz, the get-past-polka, the awkward dance.

Today’s #15minmograph plays with just that. The anticipation, poor timing and relief of exit as one “partner” round the other and they return on their way. Since completing animation bootcamp, I have found anticipation and overshoot to really help with giving character to even the simplest of characters. That was my goal today, take something painfully human and make it seem even remotely believable in squares.

Tada…

Day 4 – Slice ’em up, buttercup

Here we go, Day 4 of the #15minmograph challenge. I have a feeling I am going to get less and less detailed in these posts about it.

I am really trying to hit all the bases of motion design. Character – check. Vector – check. Today we check off typography. Check.

This is an animation move you see a lot in explainers and I am yet to have used it in any client work, which is weird because I really like the look. It is clean, simple and super illustrative, and now I know I can do it in 15 mins. What I also reinforced today is my love for Coolors.co. It is amazing. With a tap of the spacebar and you have an elegant or bright or complementary colour palette hex values and all. Need to build a palette around and already existing colour or colours, lock them in and <spacebar>. Now, it may sound like I am sponsored by them or something. I’m not, just a major fangirl.

Day 3 – Do you even lift, bro?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Day 3 has arrived. I’ll let you see the GIF first and then I’ll ask you what you think I did this morning.

Well, can you guess? Core day at the gym.

I took today as an opportunity to play with Rubberhose. I’ve only really used it a couple times, generally opting for Duik instead. I do really love this Plugin though and how quickly this one was able to be put together (less than 15 mins) is a testament to the usability of this little gem.

I also whipped out OC eyes, another plugin that makes character animation just way too easy.
