So where I am at in Indiana there seems to be a lot of confusion on how animation works, I have decided to make an interactive zoetrope with little 3d sculptures that should help the people around here learn a little about the mechanics, or nuts and bolts of animation.
So the zoetrope will have 3 interactive backgrounds.
- Will be the poses of the models drawn out to go behind it.
- Will be just a nice fun repeating pan, it will only go over the basics and I will not be setting it up to move on ones as the timing will ultimately be varied based on the person spinning it.
- Will have some background similar to above but with animated elements to it.
The models/ sculptures will be of my little sad robot character doing a march of sorts, I will have do this part in maya so I can 3D print him and then have him stuck to little numbered wedges that can be placed into the center of the zoetrope. Currently I plan on making the passing positions interchangeable to vary the walk a bit, I am still working his march out but I kicked this out to give an idea where I want to go with it.
When I am done making it I am going to donate it to the local Children's Museum .
