Category: 1.1 Week 8

This week we were given the task to plan a body mechanics shot. I wanted to create something that gives an action vibe. So, I decided to make an animation of jump.

Reference video

I decided to use this as reference video.

Rough Planning Sketch

I then made a rough 2D Animation from some key poses I took from the reference video. It is always handy to have visual references before blocking it in 3D.

Previously, we made blend shapes and phonetics of the head model. This week our task was to pick a dialogue audio and animate the head and do lip syncing. As the character I made was imaginative I did not take any direct reference from the video clip. I have reinforced some different expressions so that the character looks more believable.

This is my attempt the animate the character’s head.
