MuntyAC

I thought posing in maya would be a straight forward process but oh how wrong i was. I struggled so much with the key-frames and i couldn't for the life of me figure out what the issue was. I would set a pose and then move to the next on a different frame and the initial pose would become totally messed up. I had this same problem with most of my first attempts and i still don't really know why. My best guess is that i didn't key frame the first pose correctly and that what caused the problem.   2nd attempt but as you can see he spins around for reason This is a much better attempt but the shoulders decide to do an odd rotation. 

Last minute munty as per usual and i hadn't done the poses asked of us till the morning of the lecture on the bus. The poses that i had found from life drawing were definitely the most effective at translating the emotion. I really need to get in the habit of creating my own references instead of looking online.   I've put 102 on the highest of my priorities as i wasn't too happy with the outcomes i produced for last years module. Maybe because were using characters now im enjoying the process a bit more. I dont want to tell joe this cos i feel like he'll cry about using block and i understand the qualities it teaches. I'm trying to use that idea in my script to screen by having my characters be just trianges. playing with the armature was pretty funny. i wish i had a toy like this when i was a kid, who knows i might of got into making my own stop mos. But the poses were easy to do, i did make a discovery in the difference between anger and happiness lies in

Joe flying solo in todays lecture while johnny on strike. Respect Joe for coming in an trying to help those who turned up. He inspired me to start to work on another stop mo piece, i was feeling a bit dumb cos i wanted to show him the sit and stand up i did with Poli, but i didnt have it with me. I always have problems and struggles in stop motion and it makes me cry cry on the inside. I'm trying to be more detirmined in my work and i think today was is a good example. I got paige to record me acting out the transisitions between emotions and i think i did a good job. I liked the way i aproached the bar sheet even though i dont think Joe or Johnny would approve. Instead of taking aboiut an hour before hand and analyising the video and meticuously working my through the video i had the reference open in premier and i broke down the footage one second at a time and working through as i moved along. I found it a more natural process and i personally prefered it, giving a similar if

The final design choice i went with was a simple design but done in 3 point perspective, i chose do it in 3-point because i thought it had a more dynamic view  I had a lot of fun drawing this but I didn't not have a fun time when it came to colouring. I've realised how many aspects of art that I've neglected and its come to bite me on the ass because it looks so bad. I need to do some research on colour harmony because the colours do not work together well and it doesn't look good or aesthetically pleasing in anyway.  Adding to failures, i thought i was being clever doing my design in 3 point. Unfortunately the rostrum doesn't work in 3 point perspective and more fail. For the rostrum to work I'll have to redraw the scene in 2 point perspective. But because i have nothing to show here's the one we did in class. 

Definitely still struggling with perspective but better than before and that's all I ask I was having difficulty deciding whether to put the house on the beach or in a tree. I decided that it would be best to go with the tree house as i thought it would add a stronger perspective and composition to the background. 

Title says it all A story about a man and penguin with island full of other species and familie and they're the only two of their kind. Didn't want my character to be alone and I thought I penguin was more interesting than a dog. This idea came up when i was thumbnailing ideas for their house.
