Class 5 Week 6

It has been an awesome week for blocking! My mentor really liked the direction I was going in with my planning and had just a few notes on the direction for composition. I'm really excited to finally start seeing these characters come to life! :)

So here is my first blocking pass on this shot. There are still many weeks to come to refine this even more!

Also this week we had to do one more face pose :)

Class 5 Week 5

I'm soooo excited to get started on a new shot! My two person dialogue is finally here. So I chose to do the "Are you happy" clip from my three clips last week. Here's my planning for the shot.

Also for my video reference, my awesome fiance was able to help me out with the female portion of the acting. YAH! :) by the way, check out her cakes, they are sweet! http://www.jessicasamazingcakes.com

And finally, here's the layout animation for this shot! Thanks to Ben Delnat for modeling the inside of the Pixair airliner ;)

Class 5 Week 4

So I'm done with my one person dialogue shot and now have to start thinking about my two person shot. This week we had to go out and find some dialogue clips from movies or shows. For those looking at this that might have to do this in the future, I would recommend using www.movieclips.com :)

Here are the best three clips that I found to use for my animation.

Also this week we had to do one last face pose.

Enjoy!

Next week I'll have picked out one of the three clips and will have it all planned out. :)

Class 5 Week 3

So here it is! Finally I have my first dialogue shot finished. Now, mind you, it still needs to be touched up a bit, he needs different clothes and hair, etc. But the animation is about there! Now it's just on to another dialogue shot. This time with two characters.

Also this week we had to do two more face poses.

Class 5 Week 2

This week I had some great notes from my mentor on my shot. This was the first time he looked at both the body of the shot and the blocking that I did for last week. He gave some notes for me to change on the shot like how he enters and exits. Also some notes on the facial animation and the overall emotions in the shot. But here is how it all turned out! :)

Also this week we had to find 2 face poses from the internet and recreate that pose on Bishop. Here are how those poses turned out.

And here is my shot from this week.

Next week, my final for this shot is due and will be up!
