DIALOG: The Little Devil

DIALOG:

"THE LITTLE DEVIL"

Title: The Little Devil

Artist: Joshua Campbell

Course: FMX238 - 2D Animation I

Professor: Dana Corrigan

Software: Toon Boom - Hamony

Hardware: MacBook Pro, Wacom Tablet

Description: A single line of dialog is often all you need to understand a character. The Little Devil is an original character of mine, with aspirations to become the best version of himself. He quickly reveals his flaws by expressing his good intentions, which oppose his true nature as a devil. However, his good intentions are of little consequence because he is hard wired to bring mayhem and disaster!

Title:Wrecking Ball

Artist: Joshua J. Campbell

Course: FMX 238 2D Animation I

Term: Summer Session I 2020

Professor: Dana Corrigan

Description: "Wrecking Ball" is my artistic representation of the lethal potential inherent in autonomous machines, and the fear of mankind's inability to maintain an acceptable level of safety and control over them.

We fear the unknown. Technological Advancements are progressing at unprecedented speeds, bringing the stuff of science fiction into a near reality. Technology itself isn't a threat, but the motives and usages of mankind are! Autonomy of robots has been a topic of concern for the United Nations (U.N.) over the past decade, but becoming a closer threat in the past 5 years. While organizations such as the U.N. and the Department of Defense (DOD) are figuring out the rules and limitations for Autonomous Machines in combat, civilian regulatory organizations haven't given an impression of concern for misuse.

Bouncing Ball Project 2, Pinball Machine

PINBALL MACHINE

My first attempts with a bouncing ball were fun, but didn't resonate with me from a creative standpoint. The requirements were simple... Animate a Ball, and make it bounce off at least one surface. Pinball machines immediately came to mind.

The  beloved "Bouncing Ball" is the first thing animators learn how to animate. Here is my very first bouncing ball:

Some adjustments were made to make the ball squishy... The squishy one is so much more fun!

Its all about timing! Using a line with time markers, I was able to animate a sphere moving at different speeds. Here are my first animation examples:
