More Traditional Dove Tests

This was a very early test shot I did the day after I did all of the animation you saw in the last blog post, I spent a while studying real pigeons and I was trying to make it more of a blurry/quick moving bird, rather than a spirit bird. I got feedback from class to do 2 things:

1. Remove the eyes, abstract the bird more- should not be a real bird but is a ghost/spirit 
2. Try out doing the animation digitally, in TV paint and in Photoshop

This made me really sad, as I absolutely love traditional animation because it forces me to slow down and really think and understand the drawings and emotions that are driving the actions behind them.

But oh well, I guess because of how small the team is (now down to 5 people) we can't have me just doing the dove for the whole half of the quarter. :,(
