Class 4 - Assignment 2 - Two Weeks Notice Blocking/Blocking+

Here is the latest of my blocking on my Two Weeks Notice shot:



It's still mostly in blocking/blocking plus, I splined Lucy's body in her shot.

Class 4 - Assignment 2 - Two Weeks Notice Layout 2

Here is the my redo of my layout, with camera adjustments, new posing, and additional poses:

Class 4 - Assignment 2 - Multi Character Dialogue Shot

So second assignment, just like before, but we have to pick a longer clip and one that has 2 characters interacting. The latest work is listed first. I decided to go with the Two Weeks Notice clip.

This is the first time we had to do a layout. It was tricky at first getting the camera, characters, and set all laid out and referenced. I still need to explore clothing options for the characters.

Class 4 - Assignment 1 - Continuing Class 3 Dialogue Shot

So for the first 3 weeks of Class 4 we had to continue with our dialogue shot from last class, and add lip sync and facial performance. We were given a new rig that had more than just a mouth rotate and blink controls. We now have eyebrows and lip controls, etc!

We had Jay Jackson (my mentor from last term) sub for a week which was nice, he got to see the final take on my Princess Bride shot with lip sync.

Here are some of my passes for this shot, starting with the most recent (still needs work - when are you going to hear an animator say that their shot is done?):

Class 3 - Shot 2 - Dialogue Shot

Our second assignment was to take a 10 sec dialogue clip from a TV show or movie. I chose a clip the Albino recited from The Princess Bride.
