Description New week, new assignment! ' u ' This week we had to animate a box opening and possibly closing if we wanted to make it a loop.
We had about 2 and a half day to complete this and this animation ended up with 80 frames in total.

Living box?

Wow. Looks like a great exercise.
And I know this is old and you're a much more experienced animator now, but well done. XD
I can imagine the dozens of ellipses you had to draw to get things to go in the right direction.

Wow, that's really creative. I've seen (and done) a lot of box animations, but never one where the box actually pushed itself. Great exercise in basic geometrics and weight.

Wow they sure make you work quick on these things, I guess my teacher was right when he said, if you give them 2 weeks to do it, they'll do it in 2 weeks xD

I love this simple animation where the box is assembled and disassembled indifinitely, then reassembling it turning around.Β Β 


Me encanta esta animaciΓ³n sencilla donde la caja se arma y se desarma indefinidamente, luego la misma se vuelve a armar dΓ‘ndose vuelta.

Thank you~ I had a lot of trouble with the whole direction/perspective thing. I was overthinking it for a while but once I just let it go and stopped caring it turned out better. The last bounce-thing it does on the first unfolding stage was actually a accident. I accidentally switched two pages when I scanned it in our computer but I was happily surprised it made that extra bounce. It made it more realistic than I first intended.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. My english is sometimes really bad. Hehe

Aaw.. At first I thought this assignment would be really boring since I really hate to draw straight lines etc. But I had fun with it and tried to make something different than just a box opening. ' u '

I just got REAL tired of it REALLY quickly. We only had a set time limit to do it in and I wasn't exactly feeling UP to the challenge. Plus I still have to use animation paper and I was getting pissed off with the amount of paper I was going through so I just tossed it in the recycle bin like RIGHT after he marked it

Is it easier with a tablet (cause I swear if it isn't I don't know what I'll do)?

Somehow I think it's easier doing animations with a lighttable and papper. ' 3'

I'm studying at a small school majoring animation for 1 year right now. I don't really know that many good schools since we don't have any in Sweden. I am however hoping to get in the animation workshop in Denmark. They have both 2D and 3D animations and it seems like a really good school to me. ' u '

Despite it being an inanimate object and despite you animating it, you gave it some type of attitude in my opinion. It looks like it's restless. XD Nicely done!

I can, however, imagine the other students glaring at you when you present your work.
