Welcome to the Animation Chef’s Test Kitchen where so attained successful short animation is the short digital one. Now here is our half-baked Master Chef straight from our animating oven.
Welcome! Today we sketch out how we did our lawn surfing last week. We had so many people last week. How did you do that? That we thought we would dedicate that worth episode to show you what kind of fancy moves we do to produce the animation of lawn surfing. The good news is you do not have to go to the top of a big grass hill in order to surf on the lawn. You just have to remember of the spacing of the bouncing ball.
To begin, we have to start somewhere so we begin with the getting ready shuffle of this surfing chef. We started of course with a lawn. Then one of the chefs lay down on his tummy, the other one puts his foot up on top and then we have the camera operator. And now, we are good to go.
Let us look at this from the top. If you remember back to the bouncing ball, you will remember these basics. If we move the chef back and forth according to the spacings, we will have a nice move warm up effect. So we take a picture at each pace.
And when we play this back at a 15 frames per second, we will have a beautiful little warm up.
From here if we back up, we can see the spacing, we need to take off and go fast, starting a little bit at a time and spacing and more and more as we move across the lawn.
Then as the chef press along with the activity camera for each new space, we have a new picture, this time keeping the chef in the same place on this period. This is where you can keep a nice, smooth effect.
So those are the basic ideas behind lawn surfing. You do not need a big grass hill to create the illusion. Although it sounds like fun, I think I would give it try.
Fun animation!
