What If Metropolis? - New angle

I've had to rethink the angle that I will be useing for my city as it looked like I was pushing the viewer away and not showing what it is like to be in my city. To get round this I created a mockup of the buildings in Maya and started to move around it to find a better angle, this will also help me eliminate some of the buildings that I need to model if they don't appear in the shot.

To tell the 6 buildings apart I colour coded them, the colours used are not the finel design for each.

The angle I can't use
Out of the four new angles that I was able to create I find that #1 and #3 are working the best as them show the sky clearly, which is something that I want to features, and the monolith in the background.

#2 and #4 are the same view but I moved the camea in abit and placed it on the ground to see if the  angle looked any better if it showed the floor.

    Hey Rhia - I think angle 1 has promise, but the composition lacks balance on the right - there's a big gap - it feels as if you need a taller building on the right to balance things out?

@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.

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.

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.
