Lamp Jump Peer Review

Assessor Name: Leighton Potter

Feedback: The animation works well in following the rule of anticipation. The way the lamp moves just before it jumps gives a clear indication that its going to jump and works well. The timing of the animation works at first however just before the lamp hits the ground, it floats for a second and doesn’t feel natural or organic; Also when the lamp lands, there is little to movement from the neck of the lamp, upwards and gives the lamp an un-organic feel. You could improve this animation by giving the top of the lamp a little more attention during the jump motion and working on a more organic landing.

Improvement:

I took the feedback that I was given on board and improved the landing of my Lamp to make it have more of a bounce on impact with the floor. I think it looks much better than before because it looks much more realistic to the laws of physics.

Environmental Design Research

Today I was told to do research on an artists that I liked the work of. The first artist is Simon Stalenhag: 

I really like Stalenhag’s work. From the really realistic looking environments to the out of place mechs that are throughout his work. I found myself rubbing my eyes because I couldn’t tell if the environments were just photos or if Stalenhag had drawn them.
