Pendulum Swing excercise - 4 variations


I created the below Pendulum Swing exercises following the book titled "How to Make Animated Films: Tony White's Complete Masterclass on the Traditional Principals of Animation" by Tony White. The different Pendulum Swings below are created using different timing to help gain an appreciation for the different timing. I appreciate how the slow in slow out examples show some variation and weight to the swing action.

Captain Crunch Retro T-Shirt

Lol, My Cap'N Crunch shirt finally came in the mail after diligently eating cereal and collecting the proofs of purchases to be eligible for ordering. My love for iconic cartoons will be displayed everywhere I go now. This iconic cartoon character's creation is credit to Jay Ward who created the Cap'n Crunch Character and produced the first Cap'n Crunch commercials at his Jay Ward Studios. Jay Ward is an American creator and producer of animated television cartoons including Rocky & Bullwinkle, Peabody and Sherman, George of the Jungle, and several others. Since then Cap'n Crunch commercials have historically used basic cartoon animation by Hanna-Barbera.
