So it has been a long time since I last posted anything. I didn't do my usual recap of the last term, so now is as any good as any (although I am already midway through Term 4). We used Term 3 for developing our Demo Reels - drawing up storyboards, creating animatics (simple 2D or 3D animations used to preview our work) and building our assets. Now that all that pre-production stuff is out of the way this Term is used for production and post-production. I am doing really well with my Demo Reel, however, there is still tons to do.
But before we keep going on about my Demo Reel, here are the last three animation assignments I had.
The first assignment was to animate a baseball pitch and swing.
I made the batter miss because I was going to add a couple more shots where the pitcher laughed at him and then got hit in the face by the bat. Sadly, I ran out of time to work on this because I was focusing on my demo reel stuff. I didn't have a chance to fix the animation on what I already had, let alone add to it.
This next one is the first lip sync I have ever done. The video might be a bit out of sync thought because of the way it was exported. If it is, just trust that I did a pretty good job on it. Again the animation isn't 100% since I didn't have time to go back and refine it.
If you didn't get what movie I picked, I picked a line from Superman (1978)
This last one was a group assignment. Me and one of my friends had to do a small bit of dialogue between two people. We chose a scene from Step Brothers. He animated the John C Reilly character and I animated the Will Ferrell character (my guy has a top hat). Again the dialogue may be a bit out of sync due to exporting issues. At this point we were both swamped with demo reel work that neither of us went back to polish off the animation.
I hope you enjoyed my animation. I will try to update you guys on the other cool stuff I've been doing for my demo reel soon. Let's hope I don't get too busy to update. Peace
