Work Lately

Lately, I have been working on storyboards and character model sheets for this production. the storyboards were kinda hard to come up with the layout for it. So I wrote each board out and what the scene was going to be about. Now I just have to draw them out which won't be so bad now that I know what will be on each board. The Model Sheets are proving difficult because I don't want to go with a uniform that looks to normal or like street fighter or something I want it to have a different look from what as already been done but still look like a martial arts uniform. I hope that makes sense. That is what I am working on and it will be done soon.

Premise

Here it is my premise for my animation for this class. The whole idea is about pushing past your current level. It is about a fighter who trains everyday to become the best fighter that he can. But he loses focus of his goals and what he fights for. So he goes into deep meditation to figure out what he wants. I want this to not be about fighting but about the inner struggle of not just a fighter but the struggle that everyone has to deal with at some point in time. So that is it I will be uploading storyboards and everything else during the week. So I hope you are interested and will watch it when it is done.

Walk Cycle

Here is my walk cycle for all to see. This walk cycle was frustrating but I pushed through it. I decided to use a silhouette design for the walk cycle so that I didn't need to worry about color. I think I could have done a better job than I did but, it is not bad for a first attempt.


Rotoscoping

This is the first part my Rotoscoping. This project was surprisely fun to work on. The only thing is that it took more time than I would have thought that it was going to take. I am pleased with the result and I hope you like it.He is the first part.






The premise for my project I will be uploading later tonight. So just wait a little bit longer for it.

Jumping Puppet

The second tutorial that I have done is a jumping puppet. I have to do another one but I will upload that later right now I only have one done. So this is it. This one was fun. I liked it a little difficult but good all the same. I did not use a motion guide for this one. I just tried to treat it like a bouncing ball for the squash and stretch part of the assignment. I think it turned out good and I am happy with it.


Hope you like it

Bouncing Ball

Ok, I haven't posted in like a week or two so it is about time for some new post right? Here are two tutorials from class. The bouncing ball was pretty easy. I did some flash in high school so it wasn't that bad just had to refresh my self on the old tools and functions. For this one I used a motion guide and keyframed the arcs and needed. It wasn't too hard. The second one I just put a keyframe at the beginning and at the end and used the ease/in and ease/out editor to tweak it the way I wanted it. But a lot harder than the first one.
