Minor: Character Base Designs 7

One final, little edit to the Moon's neck so that she doesn't have the same one as Sun.

    well done, Rhia - I hope you're pleased with yourself! Right then - let's get these into 3D shall we... and then I want you to think about their materiality and their texturing: for me, these can't be 'shiny and new' - they must feel like beloved characters in some classic re-telling of an old, old story... a bit like wooden nativity figures that are brought out year-on-year to tell their story!

    (lots of old gold and silver - slightly worn, very comforting to look at etc).

    You'll also need to look again at the 'Poma' tutorials for the 2D face-rig on the CAA website - because you're going to need to understand those principles for your facial animation. Keep the energy up, stay positive and push through to the next stage as powerfully and promptly as possible! :)

@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.
