Class 5 Week 7 – Quick Update 2

Just got time to show you the work I’ve been doing in the past few days. I’m pretty happy with the amount I’ve done given most of yesterday was spent travelling or sleeping off the effects of getting up really early and travelling.

That’s right, I’m in Florence visiting Marie at the moment. It’s amazing what limited access to the internet will do for your productivity! Take a look:

I’ve been concentrating almost solely on the guy as he was the least complete up until now. I’m liking the reveal and the drop down with the car bonnet. I’m still not sure how well it’s reading when he comes out from behind it though. My idea for the scene was always that the mechanic/situation was so ridiculous that it distracted him from worrying about the werewolf (particularly because the mechanic is so unfazed by the event), but it’s difficult to convey that!

I’ve still got quite a lot of work to do before Sunday. The entire last shot and the mechanic in the first two and possibly an attempt at blocking out the faces… Oh dear.

Class 5 Week 7 – Quick Update

Wow, I had an incredibly good day of work yesterday. Efficient, got plenty done (just check out the IOGraph!) and I’m happy with the results! Yep, I definitely feel like I’m out of my mid-term lull!

Take a look:

I’ve not looked at the guy at all yet, only the girl and the mechanic. I started with the girl as she’s only in the first 2 seconds and I’m already pretty happy with her movement. Unfortunately she doesn’t get quite as much time on-screen as I’d like, but that can’t be helped right now.

I haven’t really done anything with the mechanic in shot 1 or 2 yet. I need to come to a decision about a few key acting choices before I get too heavily into those scenes. Chris had some great suggestions that I want to run past Mario in the Q&A today. The main stuff I looked at was the pointing and I think I’ve got some pretty good physicality there.

Need to do a bit more work before my Q&A later today, but looking forward to it! Any comments, questions or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Quick Note

Hey everyone! I was going to write a big post about how thing’s have been going during my break from Animation Mentor (and obviously apologise for the lack of updates – sorry!) and perhaps some reflections on how I thought the last term went but it’s pretty late and my day has been trying to say the least, so I’ll save that for later. It’s been a busy few weeks so I’m going to finish letting my computer back up my AM work from last term (really should have done that a long time ago) and just inform you that the final bits of my work from last term have now been uploaded to Flickr.
