This was the exercise that we’ve done in our 2D motion graphic rotation class, it was for us to learn the concept and how to animate the secondary action which is overlapping. For this jumping figure, I decided to add hair to create this secondary action, because I think it is a common element that will be used in any type of animation that I might do in the future.

Strengths: I think what I did well in this exercise is understanding the concept of how this type of action work and trying my best to draw the actions that are happening on the hair while a person jumps.

Weakness: I think the weakness part of this exercise is I think it does not look as smooth as it should be, which I think is because part of the action in this animation may be wrong. In my opinion, I might create a wrong squish and squash technique while I drew the hair. Because I didn’t refer back to every onion skin before I drew the next frame, therefore through some of the frame I can see that the hair length and mass is not consistant, which gave a effect that make the animation looked rough. In the future, I think I need to practice more basic skills of animation to improve my skill.
