Getting the other pieces together....

Here are all the other piece of work that I have completed for this unit.

Storyboards:


Colour Studies:

Chosen Colour for lights:
Tests:







I have also used a few books while doing this project:

I have found them both helpful when creating my animation and planing the shoots out.

Character Performance- Final Animation

This is the final render of my animation! I am very happy with it and really enjoyed working on this. I found that the graph editor really helped me in created the animation and working out problems that I could not correct just by moving or rotating the character.





Finished animation! To a point

I still need to complete the lighting and set the camera up, but the animation is done! I going to look over it tomorrow again with rested eyes and see what I can change!

Character Performance - Facial Animation! how I love thee!

The facial animation is fun to do, and this is what I have done so far! I think I have finished most of it, but there is still places where I can improve.

Character Performance - Graph editor to the rescue!

Working on the graph editor all day so far and its been going slow but things are getting done! The animation at the beginning is what I have mostly been working on, but just went through and corrected the body, hips and shoulders. Now I'm going to work on the head then move onto the hands.


I have been putting in some secondary animation at the beginning, but will be putting this in more and more as I do passes. Can't wait to finish this animation!

Character Performance - A big Problem!

Just finished the second layer of blocking out and have just changed the graph editor from stepped to linear. I have a large problem with the body rotating inside out and that its a bit to quick in places for the eyes to move. I need to work out why it is doing this rotation and how to fix it. As for the face and hands, I will do this after I have fixed the body's movement.
