Timmy's Topic!

FIRST POST! WAHOO!

Hey all! I just wanted to say that I want to focus my research on the topic of....................Weight! Thats RIGHT! I am going to eat as much as possible the next 14 weeks and talk about how much weight I gain! We'll keep trakc every week I post on my current weight and then film it all and sell it as a documentary piece! No not really

I want to focus on the the perception of effective animation of weight. Creating figures or forms that convey a sense of reality or believability based on the artistic visual representation and interpretation of weight. I think that in animation, most successful performance or even non narrative pieces that convey a sense of "weight" show a significant level of advancement in the study of motion then those that do not. I hope through my posts I can not only help further educate and practice myself on the effective portrayal of weight as an important element of animation, but that I can also educate you all and the masses about why conveying WEIGHT! in animation is of tremendous importance and of interest to me! I will look primarily in forms of character performance but will also explore wieght applications in other forms of non narrative animations as well!

Tim is currently: 158 lbs :) hehe

I agree with this tremendously! I look forward to knowing more about weight in animation as I myself don't completely understand it. Why is it that rotoscoping has no sense of weight even though it is derived from live action footage?
