Wow, I finally finished my pantomime shot. Overall I guess I'm quite happy about how it turned out, but there are still bits and pieces I feel like I could do better. Well I'm still a student after all, so no hard feelings..
Most of the body mechanics work pretty fine, but here's the major thing I'm not happy about. Check out the second part where he runs in: It's all; run in - grab smoke - light the smoke - stand up - sight down - smoke/breathe/relax. These are really separated actions whereas they should work together as a unit.. I think I succeded in the first part to create a believable set of movements as they are the result of what the character's thinking. In the second part though you can really "hear" the animator behind it. "Ok, first I have him run in, then he grabs a smoke and lights it. Next I'll make him stand up, and then he sits down on the drawer...etc".
Jeez, so this means week 6 is going to start, already half of class 4 is over. Now we're entering the real acting stuff, a monologue piece. We'll have to pick a line of a movie and make our character act accordingly. Wohoo, this sounds like fun, right?
Check out this example made by fellow Animation Mentor student Albert Barba:
Albert did a really great job on this, hope I can keep up with him;)
ok, back to watching the lecture now. See you around
Cheers
