Tests - Super Mario

Mario's Movement

Ryan: For Mario's movement I thought it would be best to create 2 gifs.  The first is a simple walk and the second is a jump.  When it comes to creating the video we would simply use the walk when hes moving and the jump for when he jumps.  On the timeline one gif would replace another.  I thought this would be easier and quicker than going frame by frame.  If the animation needed to be made longer we could loop or stretch the amount of time.

Lavinia: I agreed with Ryan on what is the best movements for Mario to use in the video. We are trying to make it easier for ourselves as we haven't had really any experience with animation. 

Ryan: This test was very good as it showed how high Mario can jump.  This could be changed depending on the situation in the video.  I added an object onto the screen so Mario would have something to stand on.

Lavinia: This video test of the Mario jump worked very well, we put him up on one of our objects to show what it will be like in the video. Both Mario and the object looks well together.

Ryan: For this test I decided to combine the walk and jump.  This was successful but a little jumpy on screen.  A slight change in position may have occurred when placing the gifs which can easily be changed..

Lavinia: In this test, we tested the walk and jump together, I believe it worked very well, changes can be made to improve the look of it.
