This project was a big turning point for me since I was struggling with how to approach animation since it is still a newer medium that im interacting with which is inately a little nerve racking for some one such as myself. This was due to me wanting to make things that were either visually impressive or something I could be proud of however since I was newer that wasnt in my cards. Due to this as well as someones advise to 'make a couple bad animations' and inturn I started to try to do as such and practise

I did this animation to just test the waters and make something mediocre , this was helpful since for all of my work to come I was more ready headed

This was initally going to be a butterfly coming out of a cucoon but as I was doing it I thought of the concept of a creature being made and attacks its cucoon inturn the cucoon eating it , this also makes it a cycle of soughts which I thought was a neat feature of it. My favourite part of this animation is the texture that the creatures skin is

This might have been my favourite of all of the animations I did this unit , my inital plan was for a fire to turn into a heart however I changed that idea to instead make a heart manifest out of nothing , tubes then attached to it and the body pumping in a fluid and it starts to grow. I had a little bit of inspiration from the infection from hollowknight and how they show it in enviroments.

These two animations were to help me learn how to animate water and fire to a minimal degree while also showcasing metamorphosis in the swaying animation , this was helpful since I understand the theory behind how both fire and water move now.

This animations goal was to start of with an eye and keep on animation to see what happens , it ended up being quite odd but it showed a transformation and I did some testing of new things , one being the bullet blocking the screen which was a little james bond inspired.

This one was the last one I did it was horns coming out of the eye holes of a mask and the mask moving to acomidate that , I feel as if I could have done a better job with that once since I didnt show it move all too much
