Rodel Zumarraga 2D ANIMATION

BMMA-191A

As a student of animation this topic carry big sense when it comes to weight,
gravity, and personality. From its objectives to enhance the quality of animation by
executing the action by including the elements of weight and gravity, meaning from
this, animator should execute every action that their character does with the proper
weight and gravity. From weight we need to ensure the reaction of the body if its is
carrying a heavy object or doing something require his body posture such as
exercise movements. Establishing balanced poses for your characters is an
important stage in the design process. You do not want a standing character to look
like it is about to tip over unless it is supposed to. Understanding the principles of
balance is equally important in visual development and for animation since
stationary characters and objects in a scene need to be in balance. The next thing is
the expectation of our audience when they’re watching our output they expecting
usual things which can see naturally but if we made a unexpected or unusual things
in our output the audience will have a negative feeling about that , the anticipation
movements is always their all we need to do is to insure that we’re creating it in
right weight and gravity.

Also, I reflect in this lesson we can apply the physic, which is the law of
inertia, physics will help us to observe motion in the real world and, if we want to
create animated motion that is believable. The principles you will learn apply to
everything from a simple ball bounce to doing a complicated shot, such as a fight
scene. Also, the most important thing to reflect is the imposing of knowledge having
this topic is a great opportunity for us learn and take it seriously cause I know in the
future it will help as allot, learning this topic step by step is such a effective
especially if we execute it in animation I know the importance of each topic by
reading it although I’m not much skilled when it comes to animation but I can make
sure that I can make it with my patience and perseverance.
