Project 2

Week 11 - 02.11.2020

Progression

This week, I focus on the character's facial expression and camera movement :

Feedback : Mr. Kannan commented on the camera movement, it moved way too much and some should be still. The joint of hand also look weird while hitting the table.

Week 12 - 09.11.2020

Progression

This week, I added textures and prop to work with my animation. 

Feedback : Mr. Kannan commented that my character's hand gestures were a bit too much, should keep it simple/ static and focus on the key statement that gonna showcase.

Week 13 - 16.11.2020

Progression

I amended some of the poses based on Mr. Kannan suggestion. 

Here is the amended version:

Feedback : The scene where the character hit the table, the timing was off a bit. The hitting action should be quicker and the body can move a little bit while speaking so it will look natural.

Reflection

Week 11: 

Not much progress to be shown this week due to other module's assignment. Only be able to finish half posing of animation.

Week 12: 

After a hectic week, I finally finished all of the poses and need to keep on refining them. Mr. Kannan gave me so many suggestions on the camera angle and movement which was really useful because it helps to establish the mood of the film. 

Week 13: 

This week, I focus mainly on facial expression and lipsync, I realised that the lips move too much after i playblast it and Mr. Kanan shared some of the technics which is only focused on the last vowel. Lesson learnt: should always testing and playblasting to check the animation. I also found out that my machine can't adjust anything on graph editor and it freezes every time I adjust anything. Hope I can find any solution in the coming week.
