Premise Animatic Update: Seventh Edit
Animatic With New Opening Animatic with No New Opening After spending some time away from my project, I finally decided to re-vist it with a fresh new outlook and to edit some of the issues I was having with it. I first decided to change the opening, which I felt didn't work very well within the original animatic, and I wanted something that highlighted the isolation as well as the light that plays a big part in the story. I also re-wrote and cut out sections in the middle, to try and shorten the animatic because I felt that it was dragging to long, and I could condense the story a bit more and still have the same effect. Unformatuntly, despite me doing this, I don't seem to have made any time difference, despite taking out and editing a large portion of the middle of the story, so I am going to have to be a bit more brutal and get some advice for what to do next, as the story is still too long. However, of the two versions I have uploaded here, the first on...
Moom Platform: Blocking Removed and Graph Editor Improvements
For this lesson we had to think about timing and had to try and a-just the animation to the characters movements by removing the blocking and trying to line up the time with the movement and the expressions. I found this lesson quite easy especially since I feel I am now more used to blocking and animating using that technique, however I am still not, I feel as comfortable with using the graph editor, but In the second video I think my attempt to try it on the hip CTRL worked well, and although I still feel like the animation needs some more cleaning, I think it's turning out rather well.
Hey Odette - wow - this is a long, in-depth response - which I hope comes from discovering some legitimate interest in the subject. You touch on some interesting stuff here and I like the way you interrogate the 'racism' of Kong and mount a support of the film above and beyond what we may find distasteful. Very obviously, you've got enough 'oomph' here for a first draft of your written assignment. I would say - more generally - that in terms of project management everything else, you might want to put your own limits around how much time you're giving these reviews. There's probably a sweet-spot here. Just in terms of your introduction, it's not quite there structurally in so much as you're introducing the film, and not the nuts and bolts of the review you've written. Take another look at the guidance from last week on myUCA/Contexts.
ReplyDeleteThe general point I want to make is to congratulate you on committing so whole-heartedly to this - but also ask you to reflect on the balance of your project-management to ensure you're workload is manageable and your energies sustainable.
As Phil says...wow! Yes, you are indeed on your way to having your first essay drafted :)
ReplyDeleteMy only point would be that you could do with some more images to back up your discussion, especially as you are making frequent visual references - show us the islanders, for example!
Good stuff !
