Task 12 - Secondary Motion

The term secondary is anything that comes after something. Secondary action is the action that follows on the initial action. It is usually less important and not the primary focus.

In this task we had to create a hybrid animation, whereby we had to demonstrate our understanding of secondary action. My initial idea was to be abducted by aliens, however, I was informed that this was not secondary action as the action needed to be connected to a part of my body, such as hair or long floppy ears. Because of this I changed my idea and gave myself a tail which moved as I walked down the corridor.

What went well?

·      It was a time efficient shoot which gave me enough time to focus creating the animation and completing it to the deadline.

·      Putting the animation in went well

What could be improved?

·      I could’ve done my initial idea by coming up with a way secondary motion could be incorporated into it.

·      It doesn’t necessarily demonstrate my skills as an animator, because it doesn’t have the same level of attention to detail as previous tasks.
