Toon Boom

I carried out a tutorial on Toonboom this software has been a choice of many major animations for 2d animations. it has features such as lip syncing, dynamic cameras and effects and many more.
Below the screen shots demonstrate the process of the animations.

The first animation i created was a man throwing a ball as demonstrated abovethis was the basic tutorial which i followed. the animation was quite jumpy as i drew the chracter everytime i wanted it to move and the drawing and the drawing was not exact as the last frame. To overcome problem i demonstrated it in the second animation. I copied and pasted the whole character into the next exposure.

The second animation I created is a little character moving its arms and blinking its eye as demonstrated above. As demonstrated in the video the animation is not jumpy and runs quiet smoothly. This animation was easily achieved. The most useful tool I used to create the animation was the onion skin to refer to previous drawings.

Overall I found learning this programme was very useful as i will be using this software for my final 20 second animation. The features which will be most useful to me are being able to import directly from the scanner to the animation software, being able to convert bitmap to vectors easily and easily being able to import from flash into Toonboom.
