Cubey Emotion 2

In this assignment we had to animate Cubey along with another character. Either one of the characters takes on a more dominant role while the other one takes on a submissive role. The story behind my animation was: Cubey is painting something on an easel, and the smaller character comes rushing into the scene in a joyful mood, and bumps Cubey in a playful manner, causing Cubey's hand to move and create an unwanted mark on the canvas. The moment he bumps Cubey, he realizes his mistake. Cubey gets frustrated, pointing at his painting and becomes furious. The smaller character gets scared at this point. Cubey then intimidates and makes the smaller character walk backwards to the other end of the frame. The smaller character then becomes sad, as Cubey tells him to go away. This entire scenario is very identical to the common situation of a child interrupting his father while he is working, and the father then getting agitated and telling his son to go to his room, and that was the inspiration for this scene. I used symbols such as the exclamation mark on top of Cubey's head, the smoke that comes out of his ears and the lines around his head to emphasize his anger and irritation. To show the sadness of the little character, I animated his back bending, and then him slowly walking out of the frame. I made a few mistakes in this animation, like how the paint on the canvas still shows when Cubey's head is supposed to be in front of it.
