I thought the climbing part of it was good.

Alright, so today the Bitey Castle FX course started and over the next 8 weeks(+possibly further if I decide to pay for further instruction) I'll be learning the ins and outs of effects from the one and only:Adam Phillips(creator of The Last of the Dashkin's). This first week was about electricity and I enjoy feed back.

Decided to animate some a bit different than the assignment and put a little looping animation....best one I've in done in flash tbqh.

This exercise is of just a basic 2 second animation of an electricity strike at 30 fps as specified for the assignment. I tested the perimeter with width the bolts, on the left is a skinnier and the right a thicker. I personally like the thicker since I think it holds a better power rather than the wide one, despite in reality the bigger bolt would be more powerfull, but also less likely to happen in real life, so I liked the small better.

This was another test on a solid object(a circle) I kept with the small bolt size and had one strike without traveling through the object and one that did.

This one was the advanced assignment as for the other two were a beginning assignment. Object was to have one source(one spot)strike three objects. Thus I created a three objects:A set of barrels,a rod and a house. In this specific exercise I simply attempted to do a two and a three prong strike.

All together I think I should added more space between each strike...even though it is only 2 seconds.
