Stop Motion Animation of Falling

Here is my drop animation of a suicidal figure model. I used my Nikon SLR on a tripod to shoot it, and I hung the model with dental floss from the top of my lamp. I used 20 images, but they aren't all timed to 1/24th of a second. Some hold longer, some shorter.

I used photoshop to create the GIF. It was pretty easy to put it together, but I found it pretty difficult to work out the timing, because it doesn't preview in real-time. I thought I had it all perfect the first time, but once I saved it out and played it in Quicktime, it looked like he was rocketing into the ground. The timing still isn't perfect, but I feel like it's pretty close at this point (I cant decide if it's a little slow at the top.)

Mini-Portfolio

I'm an Animation/Illustration major and this should be my last year at SJSU. Considering this is my 8th year and I've taken enough classes for three students, I think it's about time. Even Van Wilder had to graduate sometime, and I'm passing him up by a year.
I think I'd like to go into visual development, or possibly story. Who knows. I like drawing pictures, so whoever will pay me a lot me for that, that's what I want to do. Here's some doodles I did this summer...

Here's an animation I did. It's unfinished, so it's mostly on keys...

The First Post

This will be a blog for homework from Physics of Animation. Maybe pictures of food, too.
