Monday 21st - Friday 25th
This week I finished blocking out the rest of the shots and began to focus on Splining, and tidying up my animation (as you can see above).
I am liking how its going, I feel my key poses are working well and just need to smooth out some janky areas where there appears to be some popping.
I also gained some feedback from Leon where he pointed out some nice nuances in my reference material that I have missed in my animation. Like the wave could be more 'me me me!'' like it is in my reference and there are subtle movements in my eye lids that make for nice subtleties.
I have a tendency to leap before looking. Only taking the basic shapes from my reference and applying it to my animation and building upon it from there. This is a good start however I then forget to keep referring to the reference for finer details, believing in my head I know what's there where in actuality I am missing out on good content.
I will need to keep this in mind for future as my reference has some good details I am missing.
Next week is my last week on this project, so I will be polishing and adding the final touches to my animation as well as applying what I have learned from Leon's feedback.
I put all the shots together in to one video to see how it flows (Above). I initially intended to make this piece 15 seconds it seems to have gotten away from me, now being 27 seconds. Since I only have one more week left on this project I feel it would be best for me to cut the opening shot, as it doesn't necessarily aid in over all story and the video works without it, saving me time in the long run.
