For the last few weeks the Elements animators have been building up their skills and understanding of animation practicing basic exercises to help refine their understanding of the process of stop motion.

In the last session we developed this into a simple character with the “story” of them jumping off a high platform onto a trampoline.  This gives students the chance to practice some of the key principles of animation such as stretch and squash, arcs of motion, easing and anticipation.  Here are some of the examples of what they created.  Enjoy!!
