Class 2 - Week 6

In this Week we had another Blocking to Final Lecture by Mike Stern On how He Would animate a Shot.. Mike was among the first group that graduated from Animation Mentor, now he is working at DreamWorks as a character animator. Check out his AWESOME Animation Mentor graduation short: Distraxion.
He showed us His Workflow of Animating a Shot.. How he Plans , Blocks, Spline and Solve Problem that Might Occur while Working on a shot.. Its Really Great Great To see How Diff animators animate.. Helps a Lot to Us Develop our Own Workflow..

We got to See How he Would Record Reference.. and and How He would animate a Cartoony Shot For which Recording Could Be or maybe hard\Impossible.. and sometime For shot Like That He said he Would try to Use his Imagination and the animation Fundamentals.. But I think we can Still Try to Find Something a bit Similar to Wht we are going to animate and take a  Little Help From it.. :P .. lol

He Started with Posing minimal Pose that sells The Idea Clearly, time the Shot and then Started to Refine the Poses add more Breakdown etc to Clear up the Idea..Push thing around, Start to think abt the Path of action and How the The poses Work together with Each other.. THE SMARTER YOU ARE WITH THE BREAKDOWNS THE EASIER CLEANUP WOULD BE.. One this That I like that instead of Splining the Entire shot at Once He Break them Down into Section and then Work on them.. Like Just working on the First Step First and and then Move on to the Next step or next action.. I think This Helps In clearing Stuff Easily and Not Getting Overloaded with the entire shot getting Messed up when We first Start to Spline It..  :P

and For the Assignment In this Week we had to Start Refining our Shot.. Here is What I submitted.. .
