Class 3 session 12: Progress reel

I didn't get the chance to post last week, I've been very busy and I mean it. Nevertheless I don't want to give up this assignment nor posting it. Here you will find the 2 assignment for this term, 1) Pantomime and 2)Intro to acting.

Doug Sheppeck from Pixar knows his stuff very well, the stage that my dialogue piece is at, he says that is sort of a blocking version at Pixar, there still so much room for more, its just a matter of frame by frame it. Even though I would have the time, I got lost on the last 2 weeks, I didn't know what else to work on. A couple of attempts to make it better turned out to make it worse, yikes!

Still learning animation...

Class 3 session 10: Polishing

What's new?

Arcs, inbetweens, slow in/out, moving holds and a bit of overlapping on the head.
Geez, it still feels slow, too many frames. Its like you are animating very carefully, you don't want to break it, little by little but you are not really pushing the animation nor the acting, it stays the same way or maybe loses some punch.

CARS at "EL Capitan Theatre"

Class 3 session 09: Refining

Still a lot of work to be done here, I refined some of the curves and blocked out the mouth movement, a flapping jaw (Maya sucks for scrubbing the audio)

I've been watching The Incredibles for reference and oh man! Its so good, I don't know how they do it!! Practice makes perfect I guess.
