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..
