My little bug

Haven't posted a blog on here in a while so I thought that it was about time to post something. Last week Andy set us the task of creating a small bug or worm just like the BBC3 worm. Below is the outcome of my work.



Its very basic but it shows how to create slow yet effective movement to an object.

The aim of the task was to learn the technique of morphing an object so you would be able to create a number of different movements and be able to make it into one sequence.

I found the task quite simple and helpful. I already knew the basics on how to create the shapes and the instructions given were easy to follow, the morphing wasn't as hard as I thought. I didn't realise that creating clones of one object would be a way of how to make an object move. Having done this exercise I think that I could use this for my identity. I have come the the conclusion that my identity will a pencil, and in my opinion I feel that morphing will be a good way to make my pencil look more like an animation. I also hope that it will give the pencil more of an identity, it will add emotion but my main aim if I was to use morphing in my project would be to give the pencil a more girly impression.

I will be posting some of my design ideas on my blog shortly as I have done my initial ideas through sketch books and photoshop.
