A. Please place an in-progress video of your character performance in the "Animation Draft_10_26" Folder on the server!
B. Find one(1) student in class, and give/receive feedback about your animation so far!
You want to focus on the timing of your animation at this stage!
Do we see every action as it happens?
Are any movements too fast or slow to be believable?
How is the story's rhythm working? Do we have slow scenes leading to faster ones or vice versa?
C. Before class Wednesday, place a new animation video with new updates to your work! I want to see better timing, and a clearer performance with your characters!
Notes recap from today:
As an extra note for yourself: CLICK HERE for the video that we viewed in class today!
Remember to focus on these formal elements for your animation!
- Giving your character challenges to deal with.
- Having logical reactions to everything that goes.
- Clarity! (Staging is important! We need to see where your character is, and where your character is going!)
- Give us time to know what is happening!
- Remember your facial expressions!
- Body language should sell your animation first.
- After that, facial expressions should drive your point home, and really make your character's actions and performance pop!
As always, if you have any questions, email me at mshaw@mca.edu! =D
