Jumpin’ flour sacks
This was the second — and definitely more fun — part of my APT 5 class. I wanted to try my hand at classic cartoon animation. The good stuff! Keith had me animate two flour sack exercises, and rather than struggle with a flour sack rig in Maya, I went ahead and drew them out in Flipbook. Both the animations are timed to a 12-frame beat, at 24 fps.

Thanks, Mahesh!
I’d have replied to your comments earlier.. just been busy preparing for a trip.
Yes, I painted the shadow frame by frame. Same with the blur effect. I picked a dry brush in Photoshop and painted the blur lines, “flipping” back and forth between successive frames in Photoshop. It took trial and error, since it was my first try at something like this, but in the end I’m quite satisfied with the result.
Hope that answered your questions. Let me know if you’d like more details!
