Weight and Gesture Sketches


Slackers


This animation is inspired by my favorite cartoon as a kid, Regular Show. I had recently began to rewatch this Cartoon Network show and had began to sketch out Mordecai, as seen below. Mordecai's character is always more determined to get work done whereas Rigby isn't. I demonstrated that by having Rigby sleeping while Mordecai does the work that they should both be doing.

I enjoyed this project in particular because of its nostalgia and made me appreciate the show even more after realizing how much time and effort goes into every frame of every scene.

I made sure to include a squirrel friend hiding in one of the trees.

The above animation was an in class trial that allowed me to visualize the behavior of the ball, as if I had thrown it into frame.
