Final Pose (PerspShape View) Pose used for reference. Final Moom Pose We were given an exercise to create a pose in about 5 minutes and this was the final result. No idea where the facial controls were, but now I do, so next time I''l be able to do more expressive things with the face.

Hello Everyone, for those of you who aren't in the know, I'm starting a new blog for this project, so if you fancy following it, use the link here, and you know what to do! https://onewheeledwondereruca.blogspot.com/

Talk about the clip Roles in the clip Animation focus point This audio clip is from the film 'The Italian Job' (1969) , now there is an event that happens, but the who time there is an interaction between two characters, the one speaking being in the position of power. There is also a level of surprise in the audio, showing that the overreaction is fair and justified. The second big factor is the fact that our main speaker who is in a position of power, is talking at someone, showing that he is able to command and instruct. So key points for animation: There is a level of superiority There is a level of surprise in the audio There is a level of anger in the audio The main speaker is talk at someone or multiple people The big focus in this animation will be what to do with the blank spaces, showing escalation before we reach the word go! So a sense of comedic timing will be key as well as exaggerating the emotions conveyed through our main speaker.

The audio clip is from the film '12 Angry Men' (1957) , and features one of the men talking about advertising. Now what interesting about this audio clip is the use of his voice in the audio. The pauses in his voice show a level of intelligence, which will need to be translated through the face. There is only one person in this scene, so there are no high or low status's, but rather a character who thinks he is in a high status, so having somewhat of an ego in the animation will be key. So key points for this animation: There needs to be a large focus on the face to show my understanding of using the face in animation. There is a level of intelligence in the audio. There is a slight ego in the audio Overall this animation is meant to show my understanding of facial animation, because despite the fact he might not project sound at times, emotion and information can be conveyed through a face without any audio being used.

The audio clip is from the film 'Secret of Nimh' (1982) and features the main characters Jeremy and Miss Brisby. Now we can easily identify that there was a level of romance coming from Jeremy, but Miss Brisby is able to brush off this attempt at being hit on. There is also a level of comedy in the audio, so the person in the higher place of power will be Miss Brisby, because Jeremy is trying to woo her over. So key points for this animation: There is a level of romance in the audio There is a level of ignorance in the audio There is a level of comedy in the audio. In this scenario, Miss Brisby has the position of power. Last thing to take note of is that the animation focus in this animation will focus on the comedic timings and how the face can show an array of emotions.

Animation in film has been around for a long time, some films only use it as a minor part, or some films heavily depend on it. How animation is produced in film and media can be a lot more straightforward, but at the same time, it can have a lot of snags that can be a lot harder to work with. Now the main difference between video-game animation and film animation is that whilst they both still need to inform the viewer of particular actions, a film usually has a single shot to animate rather than taking all dimensions into account. You see, a film is only experienced from one perspective whereas a game could be experienced from multiple. Films usually focus a large amount on compositing, post-production, and spectacle, because whilst the workload would be much larger with creating a film, the work that is produced is a lot more refined than game animation. Game animation still requires a level of dedication and detail, but some games do lack either the technical know-how or the ...

Ever since the idea of animation was introduced to video games, there have been a number of ways in which these practices have been used, developed and altered to express a creative outcome. In video game animation there are a couple of things to take into consideration, firstly is that an animation may have to look good from every angle due to your game. Certain traits of animation may need to be exaggerated depending on the art style or activity (Anticipation is used in boss fights traditionally.) . How restricted are you with the animation process? If the game is built on a 2D plane, there may not be a requirement for grand, massive actions when all you need to do is move some arms a bit, or alter a face slightly to express an emotion. I'm going to use old examples and compare them to new examples, show how these principles have been carried over and how they are relevant. Just click on the videos to get a rough idea of what I'm trying to talk about, so you don't h...
