Finished Short

Here's the finished version of the Beryl the Peril short film that I submitted.
In other news: I won a DNAD award for it. Wowzers!

Walk Cycles

Walk cycles are hard.
I've re-read the section for walk cycles in the Survival Kit over and over and they still prove to be a pain. I am getting the hang of them though, and here are two examples: one in 2D and one in 3D.

Beryl: In the Flesh

Here is the puppet of Beryl I made in ceramics.
It is awful and I hate it.
She doesn't move very well and her leg is falling off.
That being said, I am glad I at last tried - experience is always cool.

A Pencil... made in Maya

Yeah this is a bit late, huh? I honestly forgot to upload this when I made it.
Here's an object I created in Maya, a pencil to be precise.
It's very basic, but for a very early practise, it's fine I suppose.
Could use some shading and colour though.

Presentation Feedback

Today I showed my animatic to some of my peers. Here was the feedback and suggestions they gave:

  • I need to work on the Teacher's walk cycle some more in a W.I.P piece of animation I showed off.
  • I need to prioritise getting the characters coloured in once the base animation is finished on them - the backgrounds are fine if they're left blank.
  • I also need to consider remaking the title sequence and making it more exiting and relevant to the rest of the film.
