Week 9 – Camera and Final Touches

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 9. This week I developed the camera animations further by adding additional angles. Considering that only the environment moves and not the character, the camera work was straightforward. Camera Animation A Few Camera Examples/ Tests Further Adjustments to Soft Focus Key to… Continue reading Week 9 – Camera and Final Touches

Week 8 – More Animating

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 8. Animation Improvements Tail Animation Side to side motion. Holds at the side, then move quickly. Timing – starts to move when the leg is in the passing position, at the peak of the step. As though the leg is pulling the… Continue reading Week 8 – More Animating

Week 7 – In-between Animations and Colour Tinting

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 7. Play Blast – Blocking Poses and In-Betweens Next I will work on making my animation more fluid. This will be done by altering the animation curves to be have more arc shapes, as according to the animation arc principle that describes… Continue reading Week 7 – In-between Animations and Colour Tinting

Week 6 – Prep and Animation

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 6. Poses Blocking Animation Improvements for the Blocking Animation Based on Personal and Peer Feedback Cut/shorten before dogs sits down. Cut/shorten the time before time before dog looks around at empty space. Make the looking around poses more extreme. Shorten the intro/… Continue reading Week 6 – Prep and Animation

Progress Update for Tutor

I made a short presentation/ mind map of my project progress for my tutor to look at. The link is below. The notes around the mind map are my discussions with the two tutors who I deliberated about my project with. Project 2 – Premise, Online Whiteboard for Visual Collaboration (miro.com)

Week 5 – Environment, Character and Lighting

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 5. Considering that this is my FMP concept testing phase (the premise project), the character can be random. A specific character is not necessary. This phase simply serves to deliberate through experimentation the concept and themes, as well as iron out certain… Continue reading Week 5 – Environment, Character and Lighting

Week 4 – Project Design

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 4. Project Design Project Name (TBC): Phantom Presence, Building a Presence Test. Testing the Phantom. Lantern. The ghost. Gone shadow and constant light. Hope and Vision. Project/Animation Name: Hope and Vision Themes On and off-screen narrative interaction. Presence/lack of presence. The built… Continue reading Week 4 – Project Design

Week 3 – Primary Research Exploration

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 3. This week, I plan to recreate experiments from my first weeks research, Kuleshov and Hitchcock’s experiments. To go further, I will be experimenting with recreating these experiments with audio. in addition to the various ways I can create an off-screen presence… Continue reading Week 3 – Primary Research Exploration

Week 2 – Research

Unit 2.1 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques – Project 2, week 2. Premise Project Design Themes On and off screen interaction. Building up a presence and then taking it away. Suggestive information and building a conclusion. Project Outline For my final major project I wish to explore the themes above, how I can… Continue reading Week 2 – Research
