Slow in Slow out - Maya

Similar to last week the classes we were halved and one half did Maya and other others did stop-motion. When Joe was explaining the process of stop-motion, i got the feeling that precision is needed in this type of animation. I feel like this suits my type of personality and i could do stop-motion really well, but i know i'll spend forever doing one animation because im a bit of a perfectionist.



After both halves of the class were done with learning what task they were meant to do for the week, Johnny and Joe asked us to come up and present our work. I have a lot of admiration for those who went up and i could tell how nervous or anxious they were, naturally they were defensive and almost too self critical but i think i would be exactly the same in their shoes. 

Joe also pointed out to the class that Maya by default adds an ease so that it was wasn't a linear A-B. I was definitely glad that i didn't go up because i guess i had done a slow in slow out loop with a rectangle and with the way Joe was picking up on the aspects we missed this weeks 'brief', I would of be slaughtered. I know that i will eventually will go up and present my work to the class but when i do, i want to be able to accept all the criticism and hopefully use it to spur me on and improve on my work. Stage fright is something I've struggled my whole life so looking into ways people got over it might be really beneficial for me.

When i went back into Maya, i redid the block A-B and used the graph to differentiate between the linear and the eased versions.

Furthering into perspective

Im coming closer to realisation that storyboarding is a field that i want to keep exploring. This past semester we been tasked with a range of different mediums and techniuiqes which has been super challenging, requiring me to learn something new. The only problem I've had is that I get so tired from the research, I dont have the power to work and produce work I'm happy with. This is a minor problem as i know over time i'll become way more adpet and will have a much smoother workflow. I can say though that because of all this research time, I fallen back in love with drawing again. Maybe it has something to do with chris' life drawing classes but im actually drawing for fun again, and this is a feeling that i havent had for year. I'm trying drawing to become my new form of procrastination, because my mind just loves putting off work.  This is a kind of 'procrastinion i did, when i should of been trying to do some modelling in maya i wanted to draw more s...

Animation Context

The first actual lecture of university was what i expected, a briefing of our first module. Most of the lecture consisted of Johnny beating the Gibbs' reflective cycle into our heads. I can see why the university wants us to utilize this type of reflection and I will definitely refer to it when I am first writing up my blogs, but in time i know that i will have each area of the cycle memorized, which can only help in my writing skills and well as my own self analysis. This module is on going throughout the year and we are tasked with writing a magazine article about an aspect of animation we are passionate about. Initially my intimidate thought was to look at the animation technique of One Punch Man as it i know it is a particularly difficult style of animation and i captures movement and speed so vividly. I do believe i should do some wide ranging research and look at other animation techniques that intrigue me.
