Week 11 - Finally Animating! Yay

Finally animation I'm planning on doing (roughly) 14 seconds of roughs per week. Ben has suggested looking at this style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa1dROZBgfo

I re-recorded some scenes because I was not satisfied with the outcome.  The ballet dancer’s moves were too basic, so I had to go back to her and explain in more detail what I wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, the ballet dancer was not available for a week, which put the project behind.  Finally, together we managed to work out a sequence which was closer to what I initially wanted.

My tutor gave me constructive feedback, which I found useful and acted on. On editing the video of the dancer, I looked at how each move could transition from one move to the next move.  I made an instruction video for everyone, which explained the different transitions that were needed. I also made a separate instruction sheet with the brush sizes and the brush settings, which were well received.



When I began animating I asked everyone what they could do and they then asked what they were expected to do. From this, I made a plan which we all managed to adhere to and which worked out well. For this week, I feel I had a lot of time to reflect on what I actually needed from the dancer and that worked out well - I was able to get the footage that I needed. I felt I managed the set-backs well. If this had happened in week 4, when I was feeling down, I don’t think I would have handled it in the same way.

What went well?

  • Had a relatively productive week 
  • I feel as through im getting back on track, just a little 
  • I was also able to react positively to constructive criticism. 
  • Communicating with the dancer went well we developed a good working relationship, which resulted in a successful outcome.
What could be improved?

  • I could have done more work on my live briefs this week. I did do a little but not as much as I had hoped
