This exercise was another I was interested to try. I enjoy using other artists Gifs and animated stickers on Instagram, on a daily basis. I would like to create my own soon and use them on social media, including my YouTube videos.
Again I wanted to try to bring my voice into this exercise and so I decided to a chase scene between two dogs. I based this on our two Dalmatians Skye and Elsa. Elsa is a puppy and so it's not unusual for her to steal toys from her sister resulting in a chase.
I started by working in Procreate for this, I just used very loose colour shapes for the dogs to try to work out how to get them to move.
This was my first attempt. I was trying to get them to run in a circle but it got too complicated to I changed it to running across the screen.
I sketched these out to try to make a flip book but it was too complicated for me at this stage. I watched some videos on how to make flip books as well but I think my subject was too complex for me as I've not really done these before.
I'm quite pleased with how this has turned out considering how difficult I found animating. I have done a bit of animation before at college but I think trying to make eight legs move correctly and the tails and ears was quite a challenge. I'd still like to try the flip books and will have ago at doing more own animations in my spare time as I think this will be a fun skill to master.
