Hi I am new to this forum and new to animation.

I've always wanted to work in the animation business and I finally started to actually learn animating. so last week I began with the bouncing ball exercise and I am doing all kinds of exercises.

I hope to find here new friends and fellow enthusiasts who can help me reach my goal.

I'll post all my exercises here and maybe one day I can look back on this and see any progress.

some flour sack animation exercises. I am having great difficulties with the timing and spacing.

oh and here's my blog:

Can you give us a hint as to what major project you might be working on or will be working on?

well I want to make a short film of a fairytale for my little nephew. he's very young, so I keep it simple, slow and peaceful. I have the storyboard finished and I am working on a 3D background (huge meadow field) for a single scene. perhaps I went a little bit overboard with whole concept. the film's about a bear with her cub spending a day on a meadow.

deadline's early April.

I decided to go further with this bowing king. Didn't have a clue why a King would bow to anyone, but here's my idea: a peasant tells a story in Tavern, how he managed the King to bow before him.
