2D Lift

2007-08-26T10:48:00.000-10:00

Here's my 2D lift plan:

Questions to Answer:

Who is the guy?

The guy is the new assistant for a wealthy heiress. It is his first day at work and he is nervous and has been told to obey the heiress' every command. He is eager to please his new employer in order to get the opportunity to meet the heiress' father and fulfill his dream of running his own restaurant.

Where is he?

He is in the dining room of the heiress' mansion. It is mid-morning and everyone is busy doing their chores.

What is he lifting and why?

The heiress is throwing a party that night. Her most prized possession, a crystal box containing a very fragile pink crystal sculpture of her head, is to be displayed. He is told to be very careful and place the box on top of the pedestal to be displayed tonight.

This is my old one:

Walk

2007-02-28T13:12:00.000-10:00

Here's the link to my walk in Maya... WALK

I wanted to cycle the walk so the playblast is a little longer. I forgot how to do it in the Graph Editor (pre/post infinity -> Cycle)...I'll work on it over the next few days and repost a revised walk playblast.

Walk Cycle

2007-02-21T16:38:00.000-10:00

Here's my walk cycle...I tried to reference the Richard Williams walk cycle. I know that the weight is a little off, but how is the leg positions? Especially the 3rd and 4th poses.

Here's my 2nd levitation pose

Here's what my first try at the 2nd levitation pose looked like....I didn't render it using the right camera, so the background is black.

Cat Tail Follow Through

2007-02-13T15:47:00.000-10:00

Here's my revised Follow through...I tweaked the timing a litte bit...REVISED

Here's my old follow through:
TAIL

"Hope that the animation came out okay. I had a little trouble with the last part (where the tail goes back to where it started - between frames 80 and 90), the tail would kinda twitch. I tried to fix it in the graph editor but was unsure how the curves are suppose to look."

Ball bounce in Maya

2007-02-07T16:05:00.000-10:00

Here's the link to my 2D ball bounce put into Maya.

Dramatic Irony

2007-02-05T12:38:00.000-10:00

Here's my storyboard depicting Dramatic Irony. I had to re-arrange the order of my storyboard. I feel that it has a greater effect this way. What do you think?

Ball Double Bounce

2007-01-31T11:30:00.000-10:00

K, Here's the links to my Double bounce in maya.

This first link is to the Quicktime playblast of my first attempt at the double bounce. Since I didn't have Maya 8 installed, I had to create the ball with a deformation lattice to get the squash and stretch. I got confused with all the lattice points in the graph editor, so it's not as good.

This next link is using Maya 8 and comparing the graph editor with the one provided by Linda.

2D Ball Bounce

This is my REVISED 2D ball bounce.

ORIGINAL

Weight

2007-01-24T17:24:00.000-10:00

I know that some of the poses could emphasize weight a little more but are we trying to be realistic or are we trying to push the characters (like cartoons) to really show weight? I tried to do it the best I can without real life person doing those things. I was going to have my boyfriend model for me, but when I saw him, I was too tired to draw.

Character Designs

2007-01-24T17:20:00.000-10:00

Here are my character designs. Don't mind the drawing in the upper left on the second page...there was a lady on the bus that sat like that and I just had to draw her! I was trying to draw character designs for my main character in my short film and then I was watching "March of the Penguins" and I saw the different shapes in the penguins so I had to draw them!

Redo Semi Truck Compositions

2007-01-22T12:52:00.000-10:00

Here's the second semi-truck composition that we needed to do. I re-did some of the compositions that I liked from the first one. I tried to play with the off-centered line (not dividing up the scene down the middle), almost symmetric but slightly off compositions, and dark and light contrasts. Hope it's better than the last one.

Here's the dialogue I got from our trip to Waikiki...

Ball Loop

2007-01-17T13:05:00.000-10:00

Here's the link to my ball loop with ghosting. Unfortunately, I didn't know how to get the link to look like the a jpg.

FINALLY!

2007-01-15T17:27:00.000-10:00

Here's my scanned sketchbook page. I'm sorry it's late...I had to install the scanner than my internet connection came unplugged and all kinds of stuff. Anyways, here's what I have now. I will be posting some more later.

The poses that I drew were mainly from around the house...I had drawn mostly my little sister watching TV. I also went with her to get her hair cut and was drawing the barber and some of the people in the waiting area.

HI

2007-01-15T17:01:00.000-10:00
