this week I worked hard to try and get it finished but i decided that after lining it that i didn’t like it and i decided to redo it all
i added the body then to the guide
then I began lining and this is the part where I realised I wanted to redo the animation but with a litter bit better quality
I drew up my own head turns and references for the new animation
and i restarted the animation with the new heads and bodies
I had received some feedback from Alec to make bonk point a little harder than he was as it felt kind of limp, so I made him hold the pose a little longer than before
I had also added a background like they were in school as it fits in with the characters stories on how and when they met when they were younger.
FINAL ANIMATION
strangley enough the animation appears as 7 seconds on here but in the upload and on all of the devices i have the animation is 8 seconds long, i’m not sure why this is happening as it even said 8 seconds when i uploaded it
REFLECTION
Overall I’m glad that I reanimated the project as I feel its a little better than it was before, if I wasn’t as pressed for time as i was due to the other projects I feel I could’ve achieved more movement and better acting, though I am glad for the learning experience and as stressful as it was to redo it I’m glad that i gave it a go as it taught me more about the importance of line ups and turn arounds to give a better understanding to the character, and also a better understanding to movement
Through this experience I found it very rewarding to try and develop my animation skills through acting and lip syncing. Though i struggled a little with the original animation it was ultimately rewarding to go through and redo it as it taught me more about turn arounds and how important it is to have something to keep me on track with the size and the shape of the characters in my animation. I feel like i kept my time wisely and I was able to do what I needed to do during that time however i wish we had a little longer on the assignment as i feel i could have added more weight and depth to my animation had I the extra time. I am happy with the results of this assignment though like I said I wish I would have done more if I had extra time to add more to the assignment, I might’ve also picked a different audio that I could’ve added more movement to, but i am happy in the end that I was able to get everything done that i wanted to, I feel I managed my time well alongside my other assignments and I believe that I have improved in my animation abilities from the previous 2d assignment.
