My First Animation
The Caterpillar and the Sunflower

Here is my first animation that is over a minute and has a story. I'm afraid that I haven't yet added sound, but I will soon.

If you want to see what went into making this animation, please scroll down. I've posted the storyboards, and some character designs.

Character Design

This is the character design sheet that I made for the animation above. I first drew the caterpillar in pen and pencil. I then painted the caterpillar in acrylic paint. After that, I digitally painted both the caterpillar and sunflower(with interchangable expessions), and the caterpillar with joint articulations. I also did vector drawings of each.

Below are rough pencil storyboards that I did for the animation.

Storyboards for the Animation

These are the storyboards for the animation that I did above. Pretty quick and simple. I animated each scene individually based on these storyboards. Having these made visualizing each scene much easier, as well as composing the motion and expressions of the characters.
