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 - okay, so you've got the start of a Thesis here! What's satisfying here is the proactive and creative application of theory to your subject and the real sense of enthusiasm and 'sparking' that comes from your writing... BUT, there are issues of form and structure you need to take on board in terms of refining the delivery mechanism of your ideas; you need to ask yourself this question always: 'What does the reader need?' This analysis presumes a lot of prior information - it assumes the reader is already familiar with the architecture of Freud's ideas (which you use, but do not introduce or define); it presumes the reader is familiar with the story of Alien (there is no story synopsis, you see...); it presumes we're familiar with the ideas of Laura Mulvey (who isn't introduced) and so on. In terms of planning your written assignments, you need to ask yourself what the reader is going to need from you in order to follow your argument effortlessly. The ability to think like the uninitiated reader is KEY to determining effective structures for successful assignments. You also need to proof-read for grammatical stuff - lots of missing possessive apostrophes in here (so 'Mother's' as opposed to Mothers etc).
ReplyDeleteShort version - there's an imbalance here between high-performance theoretical creativity (great!) and coherence and concept-initiation. Put simply, you need to plan before you write in order to more fully capture the sophistication of what you're trying to argue. Onwards!
