Today I started animating a lamp moving – inspired by Pixar. I used animation blocking to make it work. Blocking is an animation technique in which key poses are created to establish timing and placement of characters and props in a given scene or shot. This technique is most commonly used in 3D computer animation. Blocking poses are not necessarily exclusively key frames.

Drawing Level Design

Last week I started to draw some environment to influence a decision on what type of background/theme I will have for my pachinko game. I started with putting in pictures from google on one layer and I reduced the opacity of that layer to allow me to trace the images on another layer. This was very enjoyable to see the drawings complete without the images from google appearing through.
