12 Principles of Animation

Assignment #1 for my Animation Fundamentals course was to create a 2D animation featuring at least two of the 12 Principles of Animation. I choose to create my animation using Flash and draw my animation straight ahead. The principles I choose to demonstrate were arcs and solid drawing (character).

Firstly, I drew a character I felt I could animate. I had a person fly fishing in mind.

Another thought I had was for the fisherman to catch something, but there's a twist. Just watch...
