Class 2 Week 4

In this Week We had another Mentor Walk-through Us how He Will go through his Shot from blocking To Final.. It was a Really helpful... :)

This is We had to submit the Final Pass of the Assignment.. I still I have to work on it.. Maybe I would work on it when I have Some Free time Next time and Polish it up a bit more.. :)

Class 2 - Week 2 & 3

Opps It’s been a Long time.. Since I updated..

Week 2 Blocking To Final

In week 2.. We had a Lecture in which Dimos Showed demonstrated us how he would go on a Shot from blocking to Final. It was a fun Lecture..  He showed us How we Blocks stuffs around and How/when he starts Splining them.. 

Week 3 HIPS

In this Week we had a Lecture just about the Hips…How Hips Works. Hips are the Very Complex Are and they rotate in every angle and direction.. They are the Primarily Place where most of the physical movement generate from.  We always have to be aware of our weight Shifts and Always know what is driving what in our shot.  We should also always make sure that not everything Move at the same time in our scene.. Different Parts of the body start and stop and diff time.. 


            Centre of gravity is a Static Object is directly above or below the Point of Suspension..  We should try to get Appeal in our poses too to get appeal in our Final Animation..  And Cartoony Movement is the exaggerated movement of Real Life.. So it’s like just exaggerate what’s happening in Real to make it Cartoony..  And Stat Studying Life..  

In this Two Week We had to Block and Refining our Shot.. This Is What I end up With… But not Happy.. :(

Stretching a Pose?

I found This Tip On Alyssa Lee's Blog I really loved it so also wanted it to share it over here...

When exaggerating/stretching a pose:

Put less stretch into “solid” parts of the body, such as the head or hands) and more stretch into the skinnier/elongated parts of the body (such as an arm or neck). This will read better in motion as a stretch rather than a deformation.

TERM 2!!! CLARITY IN BLOCKING

Wow!! Cool awesome! Term 2 Started….. Yay!! This week we had A lecture About What is Blocking and a mentor showed us how he blocks his shot..

Blocking  Is not a Quick rough Crapy version of your Animation. Blocking is the Point where your Shots explains and shows clearly What exactly your shot is about and What exactly is happening in it..  It is the necessary poses or anything that is required to convey your ideas. ALWAYS RECORD YOUR REFERENCE AND USE IT AND PLAN THE HECK OUT OF IT BEFORE TO START BLOCKING ON YOUR SHOT.

                Select your key poses and sketches them on paper. Key Poses are like the Heights, lowest, contacts , or where the character changes direction, holds, strarts from moving hold, straight legs or hands. THUMBNAIL YOUR KEY POSES ALWAYS. After your Blocked your shot always check it from other angles and not only the camera angle. Yeah it should work in camera view. But try to make some sense out of it even in the perspective view. Check your arcs, and path of action even in Blocking. Push your Poses.. TRY NOT TO COPY YOUR TIMING EXACTLY FROM YOUR VIDEO REFERENCE. It gets Boring. The Most imp of all  GET FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS.

            For this week we had A pick list from which we had to select one and Record reference ( oh!! Yeah we have to upload our reference on the site  for others to see.. But I did it just closed my eyes and uploaded it..lol..hahaha)for it and plan it out..  here’s my Assignment for this week..
