And finally! I got my character, Mike Wazowski, to walk, run, jump and perform a gag all on screen. It took very many shots and a lot of drawings of Mike Wazowski, but he finally can go through all the scenes and all his motions.
Our next and final task for our character was to put them through a gag. Not really knowing what gag I could have Mike perform, I made it almost like Mike had joined the Looney Tunes. As you can see I had ACME written on the side of the anvil, na poor Mike just didn't have enough time to react and move.
The next task was to get my character to jump on and off of the screen. it always seems easier to make a character jump into a screen, but I still struggle with the character jumping out. you can still tell that Mike is jumping in and out of the shot.
Mike can run! As goofy as it looks, I was able to get the ball-like monster from Monsters Inc. to run. It was a little more difficult to focus on where is legs should be as he moves across the page, but I think for the most part, it really does look like Mike is running. It was also difficult to work with Mikes's short arms that would barely be able to reach around his body.
We have finally started working with a character! I have decided told raw Mike Wazowski from Disney's Monsters Inc. Even though Mike does seem like such a simple character, i feel that it will be challenging to raw him doing the same tasks as my stickman. Drawing Mike walking was not that difficult, but I think as the actions get ore difficult so will drawing Mike over and over again.
Now I have put everything together! The stickman now walks, runs, and jumps in and out of the frame. The next step will be to add all these animations to an actual character.
After we worked on our stickman running across the screen, he had to jump back in and out of the shot. It was pretty easy making the stickman jump into the shot, but it was a little more difficult to make him jump out. I feel like in this animation, my stickman more flies out of the shot, but you still get the idea. Maybe my stickman decided to become a super hero.
