Animation Research Tentacles Part 1 (BSA 127)
Animation Research (Tentacles Part 1)
There are several scenes in my animation which requires the tentacles to move, especially when the kraken is attacking Iantha (the princess). I tried to figure out how to make the tentacles move smoothly since my animatic is quite rough. So I did some research on how do tentacles move and I found out that an octopus only has to decide which arm to use for the pushing-it doesn't need to decide which direction this arm will push. After knowing that, I changed some of my animatic scenes such as this part and this part:
As you can see that the difference is quite too significant and after drawing it frame by frame still doesnt seem to work at all, so I delete the kraken tentacles on those to frames and try to make it from the beginning. I drew them frame by frame which took quite long but I'm satisfied with the result which looks like this:
It looks ok, might need more developments before I actually finish my whole animation. This is the scene of the tentacles when the kraken is trying to attack Iantha (animation):
The current frame rate is 8fps. This is from frame 217 to 236.
I also looked up on some tutorials on the internet to find more references for my animation and I found a pretty good one, even though its not being animated in toonboom harmony, but I get the idea more or less from this tutorial on what it should look like:
