Mouth Movement Experiment 1

1. FMP Experiment: Mouth
Movement (Closed Smile)

2. Process: Drawing Layers
I began my experiment by
drawing out the different layers
of the animation test using an
app called Sketchbook. Whilst
doing this, I forced on the
motion of the lines for the
object, so I create each little
frame at a time and saved them
each as JPEGs, read to upload
into Dragonframe. Overall, I
found this procedure very useful
and interesting because it gave
me an opportunity to work on
the possible movements of my
characters, and also how I will
be able to master it.

3. Process: Assembling In Dragonframe
After creating all the frames, it
was time to assemble the
parts in Dragonframe. I first
needed to upload the picture
into the image sequence via
import. So, I added the
JPEGs into the sequence, so
had to be repeated for time
purposes, and then I viewed
the sequence and saw if it
was to my liking, which it
was. After that, I exported it to
my files, read to upload to my
website as evidence. Overall,
I found this process very
useful and easy because it
helped me understand timing
more of the animations and
the best times for moments to
happen.

4. Reflection
What elements will I be using within my final product?
I will probably use the technique of the
animation to create a similar feature for
my characters, might probably be Lady
Ruler, it depends. I will also use the same
softwares for the process of making my
final product in order to accomplish a
smooth and even animation.
