Week 5
For week 5, I decided to create a reaction shot and an animation combining my practice from last week with the ‘Lee’ character rig. It took longer than I expected to finish both practices, more than 6 hours for practice 1 and approximately 13 hours for practice 2. Although I used a lot of time to work on those shots, there are still flaws in the animation.
Reflection:
Practice 1:
- There was a huge gap between each key action when I first started blocking the video. I should have done a better job at planning.
- The magic wave shot is used to fill in the gap but it doesn’t really make sense with the animation. I’ll have to do backstory research and writing when I plan for my next shot.
Practice 2:
- The dive into the bubble could be smoother. The hair in the bubble is not working properly.
- It could have been better if the animation for the apples were done.
- The slightly lively walking at first of the animation could be exaggerated more.
- If I have more time, do the facial expression of the dive so that they’re more obvious.
- When in Shot B, the shoulder of the character should face towards the direction of her head.
