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.
There's something about the combination of your loose style and then the line-art in those little supporting studies that I think is beginning to work nicely - and it feels like it could feed back into your rendering of your establishing shot and the rest of your scenes: take a look at these example of animation backgrounds in the UPA-style for a sense of what I mean and how you might embrace confidently what you've established so promisingly in some of those cute little studies:

You'll see they're a combination of flat colour, intermittent texturing and strong line art - there are elements of this getting started in your work here - and I think you could dial it in more boldly :)
