@Alan Othographs

Another updated version of my othographs. This version has a few more details added to it such as some of the characters' clothes and accessories (some elements are still missing) but I don't know if I am on the right track with them or if I have gotten some parts wrong.

I am also having trouble with Moon's cloak and the way that should fall over her arm. I don't know if I should leave it off of the othographs for the time being and only work on it when she is fully finished, as I have been given the idea of using Ncloth to try and make it but I'm unsure if that will work.

    Hi Rhia. I think you should follow the 'keep it simple' rule. That is what inspired these designs in the first place. So, if you have an element, such as a cloak, which means a lot of complexity for not much gain then take it out or find a simpler solution. For example, it could just be a texture on the torso only. There is no need to have it go over the arm. Texturing forms and shapes is after all what you have done well everywhere else in your design so why introduce ncloth. Stick to the rules you have yourself. The same applies to the sun's clothes/torso, they should be textures too. Other than that your drawings are ready to go...well done. So, 'get modelling' :)

      Thanks Alan!

      I will think over the idea of taking off the cloaks and capes of the characters and putting them on as textures. Also, truth be told I am abit scared to started modeling them, I know that they are simply made up of shapes but I fear getting them wrong. I'll try something and see what you think. :3

    Yes, I can tell you're a bit nervous but its also good that you have said it out loud. You just have to dive in and then let us help you get through it - Just like you've done with the designs. They've turned out well don't you think?

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.
