Refined my animation for the ghost story of Koheiji, based on feedback from Kate during my consultation meeting with her. Original draft animation can be found here: http://magistudio.net/work/animation-draft-ghost-story-koheiji-studio-1-weeks-5-7
Fixes include:
- Have the overall animation blurry and vague, less detailed and defined edges
- More pauses in-between key moments
- Have the fingers animated in a less mechanical way
- Only see a part of the ghost peeping above the bed net
- Take out the original eye roll as the ghost emerges - have him focus on the sleeping couple instead
- Take out the jaw moving up and down
- Place the bed higher up in the composition
I found that I've got much better control of After Effects after refining this animation the second time round. I'm feeling less scared of the tool, and more willing to seek solutions myself via online tutorials. The animation still isn't perfect, but it's getting there!
