Bob's Animating a Bat!

Hi, Thanks so much for this assignment, its pretty fun. I will have this cute bat turn into an old fashion tv antenna. I was trying to come up with something that would be similar in shape. The following is what I have done so far.

I added something more to the turning animation. I just had to give it some kind of story. Well adding my own spin to these assignments help me learn them plus its just fun to do. I found it a bit jarring to watch at 12 frames a second, this giff is playing at 9 frames.

I had such a fun time doing the middle frame. It's like abstract art has a practical purpose.

Working on the morphs I started with the A to B Sequence. Below is how it turned out.

I then did a morph of my bat to an antenna on top of a city roof.

I am so happy I learned about the smear I kept on thinking of new ways to use the technique to try to get the desired effect without having to draw as many frames. I just had to include one of my in-between frames.
