Instructions: select one of the following characters. Use the reference material provided and your own innovation/improvisation to create a 10 second long animation. submit a 320x240 QT movie to: steve@hash.com by 03/22/01. We'd also like to see a "bat swing" but we don't have any reference material for that. Feel free to try your hand at either or both. You need to create your own ball and bat props- they can be as simple or as complex as you like.
NOTE: These characters are set up with the new HASH2001 Skeleton. You need to use them "as is" do not modify or use your own skeleton. HASH2001 Skeleton Docs
BALL THROW
The baseball pitcher goes through an elaborate balancing act as he lifts his foot in a wind-up before a swing that has been exaggerated in foreshortening. As he starts pitch, the arm is delayed to give more violence to action. Single drawing draftsmanship is thus abandoned for draftsmanship of a series we see in less than a second.
