Acting: Lesson 3

In our third acting lesson we were still looking at status and the importance that it plays. The first task that we did involved us once again getting a card with a number on it but this time we couldn't look at it. After putting it on our self's so that we couldn't see it but everyone else could we played out a scene of being in an art gallery and playing the characters in with it. Afterwares, we had to put our selves in order, from high to low, of what status we thought we had. I struggled with this one as I just kept forgetting about the cards (I was some how missing them) and acting as the status of the character I had and not looking at the cards/ statuses everyone else and acting to that.

The next scene we played was set in a wild west saloon. One person would walk in playing the role of the fearsome gunslinger and everyone else would have to fall silent. The gunslinger would then walk up to the bar, in their own time, and say one word - "Whiskey" before leaving after they had their drunk. Afterwares, the scene would return to normal. I played the role of a gambler, prostitute, The Sheriff and a drunk. On the last one, just before the Gunslinger (Ruth) got to the bar, I decided to hic-up to see what would happen. She quickly turned to look at me before slowly turning away.



For the last part we where each put into groups and given a phrase that would have to appear in a scene that we have to create over the next 4 weeks.

The phrase:
"Stop right now"

Minor: Pre-viz and notes

Image
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.

@Alan Collaboration: Walk Test

Walk Cycle test from Rhia Crouch on Vimeo . Been trying to work on Moom's walk for a skit but I'm not sure what else to do before I put him in to the screen so I can work out him swimming and coming out of the water. He is meant to walk as if he is weigh down by the goo and also wobbels a little bit. I know the eyes are off and there seems to be a phantom animation going on with his right hand that I can't work out.

Premise: Feedback Ideas

After presenting my ideas for my animation I was given the idea of making the characters of the Sun and Moon look like paper lanterns. This idea would fit in with giving the story a sense of history and culture along with helping me to think about the overall designs of the characters.
