IOL Week3

The theme for the third week is timing. I chose a stapler as a character to create. A yawning stapler. I draw a few key poses first.

 and then I drew lines to help myself feel the timing better. I added keyframes inside based on the lines. After adding keyframes, the animation is more detailed and coherent.  I made it look very soft when it open big.

The first draft is complete. Following Nick's suggestion, I added several keyframes at the most open position to make the stapler ease in and out better than the last piece. I drew another version of the blue line to rearrange the timing. Based on this version, the final product looks like the stapler is having a big yawn. Animation become more vivid and believable.
