MUSIC!

My lovely boyfriend, Devin McCanna, provided the video with some much needed music! Enjoy!

FINISHED!

Sorry that this took me till now to post. We are currently in the process of moving from one apartment to the other and so we do not have internet right now. But here it is, my finished Art 450 project, a 22 second animation of my cat Barney!

Research

While working on the second part of my video I realized that the motion I was using seemed awkward. So I did some research and found these two amazing videos of cats jumping in slow motion.

getting close to the finish!

Sorry that this weeks post is so late. I was out of town at a funeral all weekend then completely spaced to even post this when I got back.

So what you see here is the completed opening portion of my final video. I am currently working on the second half of the video and expect it to be finished by the middle of next week (just in time!). Enjoy!

Color!

Flash is being grumpy with me so I cannot get the video to export right now. I will mess with it and post the video when I get it to work.

UPDATE:

Last Minute Again!

I am so sorry, but once again for this weeks update of the blog I have waited literally till the last minute. This term has been super crazy for me, 20 credits, looking for a job, looking for a new apartment, and even 2 deaths in the family all just this term. So I am sorry if this class has had to take a backseat because of more pressing issues. I am still going to try and make my final animation just as awesome as when I first imagined it, despite my crazy hectic term.

UPDATE: here is my most recent addition to my final video. I made the walk sequence, rather than just walking in place, cross the screen. Next I am going to add color :)
