Today, I met with my mentor Ben Ridgway for the first time today in his office. I introduced the Capstone Project thoroughly to him for understanding, and he signed my Mentor Agreement Form. I will meet with Ben in his office at San Francisco State University every Tuesday at 4pm while I work 5-10 hours on my physical project at home.
We went over all of the materials I'll need for my animation. I need pencils, erasers, a scanner, a light-box, typing paper, and a peg for registering the paper onto the light-box. I have everything except for the paper and the peg, which Ben let me borrow for the week to use until I can find one.
Ben took me to the animation lab to hole-punch the typing paper, and the room was so interesting to see since I love and want to pursue animation. There were desks with built in light-boxes, animation and drawing tools, computers, and everything. It was really aspiring to see in person.
We went over what kinds of clips I'll be producing. We will go in order from ball bounces, to leaf drops, and then to anticipation and reactions. Through time, we will see how far we can go through that order. Ben went over with me the basic animation principles, such as the squash and stretch, the timing/speed of each frame, and etc. These principles will all help me with my first assignment: the general Ball Bounce. I will work on this Ball Bounce this week at home for about 5-10 hours and hopefully finish by next Tuesday for him to evaluate it.
