Dialogue- planning of the animation

These are the thumbnails for the acting for my dialogue piece:

I don't know how to upload sound file to blogger so these sketches can be compared to the actual voice acting by the reader; I will probably upload the sound only with the actual animation tests.

This is a very rough sketch of the steps the old man takes from his position by the cupboard towards the table- the number of steps will be different in the animation, but this sketch just helped me to get the idea of how is that movement supposed to work.

Caricaturing exercise- thumbnails

two alternative ideas for the 'fast food' animation, quickly thumbnailed to get the grasp on proper sequence of actions, timing, main key poses and expressions

eventually I decided to use the second one, which is simpler and can be cut shorter (whole thing would be about 20-30 seconds long) and yet it contains all essential poses and movements for this exercise

Body mechanics exercises- sketches

rough key poses for three animation exercises- throwing, hitting and jumping- animated later;
when sketching, I found the jumping sequence the most difficult to key, actually, while other two turned out quite satisfying
