EOYS Finalising

As the End of Year Show grows closer, a lot of effort and thought have gone into promoting it, sending out invitations and getting things ready for the big night on the 7th June, 2019! A huge hats off has to go to the amazing committee that have worked so hard to facilitate and make the night happen. With their fundraising, planning and design, our End of Year Show, is sure to be a huge success and great celebration of all of our hard work!

Personally, I have enjoyed helping out with my classmates preparing the rooms for the night. Painting, moving and rearranging the rooms so that each team/personal project has a good place to showcase their amazing achievements.

Blocking and Referencing

As we begin blocking out animation and key poses, the following are the scene parts that I will be taking on over the next few weeks to create - AI speaks to YOU GIRL begins to fuss AI speaks to GIRL, hands over drawing paper AI walks away, cleaning tables GIRL draws GIRL speaks to you GIRL throws drawing on ground, is bored, stands up AI goes to get coffee, walks over to the MAN, pours it AI spills on MAN, first glitch MAN freaks, jumping out of chair GIRL laughs AI reassures MAN sits back down GIRL picks up drawing As an inexperienced animator, and as a person who likes to see things come together fast rather that see them in stages. I struggled with the aspect of blocking animation. I knew it needed to be done but was frustrated with the time needed to do simply, what I could just do in flu

End of Year Show Layout

It has long been discussed and ignored that we needed to measure and be made aware of what our layout and space allowance is for the End of Year Show. With this drawing closer and closer, we finally got an answer in regard to our confusion. Each team will get a designated space and each person will have a board to use to present renders, visuals, concepts and developmental progress images that those attending the EOYS can see. The allowance for equipment for each person is 1 board, 1 table and 1 mac. We have been told that the dimensions for the boards are 80cm x 120cm and we should plan out what images and size of sections we wish to include on these. In addition, our space has to facilitate a place for our poster as well as room for a mac to sit on the desk surface to display our showreels. Desk and Board Size Below is the initial plan, we as a team have drafted together to give us an idea of how we want our area to be laid out - Based on this, we each started to p

Prop Animation

Alongside our character animation, there is more to our scene that just an environment and moving characters. The assets that these characters engage and draw attention to, also play an important part in the overall dynamic and quality of the story. Assets such as the coffee pot, paper, crayons, clock, cloth and menu are some of the elements of our project that also need to be animated and worked with in partnership with our characters. Within this blog, I will discuss the process of animating these elements and provide playblast videos of what these models look like in action. Firstly, our menu. The menu has been talked about a lot ever since we have our story line finalised way back in October. We never really tied down how this object would appear, how it would animate and what features it would have. Originally, the AI waitress would pull the menu out from behind her back when welcoming us, set it on the table and it would come to life. After this proved difficult, I
