Ideas for animation

[Firedog 320]

Sooooo, I need to practice my tracing and animation skilliezsez. So give me an idea for a 3-4 second animation and I will see what I can do.

A ball bouncing? That's always a nice practice animation.

Already did that one thanks for the suggestion though.

If you're planning to ever do character animation, I would do a simple change of expression, a head turn, or something along those lines.

Walk cycle, rotoscoping, lipsync etc. I did these in first year of animation major

Yea I decided that I added too many frames so I removed a few and I think its just right now:

Do Pinkie Pie's hair going from curly to flat while her expression goes from happy to sad. Or do that in reverse if you want the animation test to have a happy ending.

Have you ever come to a walk cycle?

 

doing a walk cycle of different styles and species is a good way of practicing as such a walk cycle which comes in handy in many animations!
