Minor: Arm and Body WIP 2



After a few days off for the hoildays I'm back to modeling Moon and she is coming along. Her tail was the easiest the thing that I've modeled so far and I'm happy with the way that it is able to keep the shape that I wanted for her.

The fingers did give me some trouble as I was trying to keep it to the drawing but also fix the probmles when trying to match them up. I also had to work out a way of showing the joints in the fingers and what would be the best way of rounding off the tips of the fingers so that they didn't appear bumby. Overal, I think that I have done rather well but I feel that there might be some things that might need fixing.

I hope to have Moon fully modeled by the end of the week as I just need to create the other arm and make the tail dress and pin. I'm still abit unsure if I need to make a hole in the body of the shoulder joint to sit in as the model seems to do just fine without it, I might have to do a side by side comparison to see what would work best.

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

Image
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.
