Blocking 2

Been blocking away and have come to the part where the character gets exploded off screen, I'm a bit stuck there as I'm not sure how to go about it. I need more reference for the walk after that anyway so I decided to stop there for the time being so I can ask my team mates and tutors for feedback.

Pretty happy with it so far though it still needs a fair bit of work. I'm worried about the timing but I need to finish this stage of blocking thoroughly and await feedback before sorting it out.

Lip Sync: Test 2

After some feedback, I've tweaked the animation a bit. I was told the arm movements were too symmetrical so I added some delay here and there, I've also animated the tongue.

Final Assignment: Test 2

I've noticed I haven't put up a lot of tests. This is mainly because I don't tend to render off unless I'm finished a round of inbetweening or something like that. Sometimes I'm so in the zone I forget to!

Anyway, test 2!


I'm actually happy with it so far. I'm not confident that it's fantastic but I'm still liking my idea and happy to work on it which is great! Since by now I'd have usually hit the 'blindness'.

Waiting for feedback before I put splines back on and render it, will wait half hour to an hour at most since deadline is tonight.

Walk Scene: Test 2

Feedback from my classmates and friends say that the character walked too stiffly and his coin catch was a bit slow. So I made the coin catch more snappy and attempted to make the movement more natural, mainly in the walk cycles.



I've sent it for more feedback and I'm hoping it looks better at least.

Pendulum: Test 2

After the feedback I've had, I've made the changes suggested and am a bit happier with the results. Still think it needs tweaking but hopefully the feedback tomorrow will help me see where tweaking is needed.



The second drag is still not quite right so I'll remedy that tomorrow after the class 'show and tell' session.
